GRAY’S PUBLIC HOUSE, Midtown’s newest Gastropub, will officially open its 510 Gray St. location with a Mardi Grasthemed grand opening on Thursday, February 5,
from 6:30–9:30pm. A DJ will keep the party going
while guests enjoy happy hour drink prices on signature cocktails (including the famous New Orleans Hurricane as the
special drink of the night) and canned beer as they savor
complimentary light bites. Partygoers will delight in a complete Fat Tuesday experience with face painting,
beads, facemasks and festive Mardi Gras décor. A percentage of the evening’s proceeds will benefit Urban Green.

It’s hard to believe that
Houston’s first cupcake shop,
Crave Cupcakes, opened
up six years ago. With
stores in the Galleria area
and West University, the
shop is set to debut a new
concept in The Woodlands
called CRAVE which will go
beyond the cupcake category and showcase another
side to their genius. Expect a
presentation of fresh pastries, including housemade
scones, kolaches and cinnamon rolls, as well as exquisite cakes. Plus the coffee
program, which is CRAVE's
own blend will have a bigger presence as well.

Who could have guessed
that we’d be looking as
forward to grocery store
openings as the next hot
restaurant? H-E-B SAN FELIPE
is opening mid-February
with its first Houston sitdown restaurant, Table
57. Don’t be fooled by the
order-at-the-counter concept. Dishes are fresh and
local with a Southern flair,
thanks to Houston’s own
celebrity chef Randy
Evans, who consulted on
the mouthwatering menu.

Beer lovers have pub crawls and
wine lovers have wine tours.
Coffee lovers have...the CAFFEINE
CRAWL! February 21 will bring a
jolt back to Houston with the city’s
second Caffeine Crawl and
LOCAL Houston Magazine is a
sponsor. Join us in enjoying some
of the city’s best offerings of this
highly addictive bean. All routes

and Bar by Boomtown Coffee.
