In honor of the upcoming Thanksgiving break, I’m rounding up three new bars I haven’t been to yet, but would love to check out if I had the time. I hear the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is a great night for partying–less if you’re driving to Houston the next day (me), but still … Malaia –…

Friday Night Benefit at Tiniest Bar
Starting at 7pm Friday night, Team Spiridon, a local training group, is hosting a benefit concert at Tiniest Bar for empancipet and the Dick Beardsley Foundation–couldn’t decide between animals and people, I guess? Lovers of music, animals, and running will come together for a night inexplicably called Night of the Moustache, featuring a benefit concert…
Twin Liquors jumps on the Spec’s/Grapevine Bandwagon
Which isn’t a bad thing. Turn shopping for liquor/beer/wine into shopping for the aforementioned plus cheese/crackers/gourmet food/chocolate and you’ve got yourself a whole afternoon–especially if it’s Friday and samples abound (hi, me, tipsy at Spec’s). The new 15,000 square foot Twin Liquors Marketplace will be in the Hancock Center, just ripe for UT students. The…

Free Beer Fests Saturday + a workout
TONS of stuff going on this Saturday. So much that I can’t even remember what to blog about. Well, to be honest, there are the only a few things I might be doing anyway (and don’t be fooled, I won’t be doing ALL of these): Saturday morning: Try Crossfit Women’s Workout Crossfit is all the…
Hot Mama’s Room to Read
I’ve been partial to Hot Mama’s Espresso Bar ever since I wandered in one day to be greeted by an infectiously cheerful voice saying, “Hey there, hot mama!” without a hint of anything except genuine affection. I was sold. Then the coffee was great AND I got a Tacodeli breakfast taco … life is great.…
Lanai’s Grand Opening!

From 8-10pm, there will be free “tastings” of their signature cocktails and apps. At 10, the place morphs into “Shy Town Night” with DJ…
