Steak
You might say the answer to that question divides along gender lines, but really, it’s a toss-up for me. Houston legend Perry’s Steakhouse and Grille hosts a Grand Opening dinner Thursday night with four courses and wine pairings from the restaurant’s exclusive private label. The restaurant is in the Norwood building where a bank used to be, and the old vault doubles as a wine cellar and seating area. Bad ass! Luckily for me, the $125 ticket makes my decision for me. (512) 474-6300.
Fashion
For the poorer of us, Soigné Boutique & Slate Men’s Apparel on Burnet Rd. are hosting mixing-and-mingling cocktail hour that also includes a Poppies Jewelry trunk show and Common Threadz fashion show.
7 pm – 9 pm. Complimentary cocktails, 20% off of all clothes and shoes, and 100% of Common Threadz clothing sales go directly back to the non-profit organization.
For every CommonThreadz t-shirt bought, the company: 1) educates and builds awareness for charities and causes related to the projects the community selects, 2) provides an orphan or vulnerable child a school uniform for each shirt sold, and 3) raises funds for the causes represented in the designs. After the organization’s wholesale cost for the shirts, 100% of remaining proceeds directly fund the charity selected for the t-shirt design.
Free drinks and socially-conscious tees? Sorry Perry’s, as much as I’d love your jumbo lump crabcake and perfectly seasoned filet, I’m gonna have to … well I have no choice. Sigh.
