Whether you are a local or a visitor, the variety of culinary and social experiences keeps the weekend vibrant and exciting. Here are some remarkable spots to explore this weekend, where flavors and fun blend seamlessly.
Dine Like a Star: Gulf Coast Favorites at Latuli
Head over to Latuli, where Chef Brian Caswell, previously of the renowned Reef, brings nostalgia and quality to Gulf Coast cuisine. This eatery has quickly captured the hearts (and appetites) of locals, including Houston Astros second baseman José Altuve. Enjoy the indulgent Double Dip starter with smoked redfish and pimento cheese, followed by pan-fried grouper plated with corn pudding and roasted peach. And don't miss the warm peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream that wraps up the experience on a sweet note. It’s a meal that resonates with both tradition and innovation, giving you a taste of Houston culture in every bite.
Refreshingly Unique: K-Tang’s Korean Cold Noodles
If you’re in the mood for something different, make your way to K-Tang for a unique twist on Korean cold noodles—mul naengmyun. With a vibrant red broth and buttery chunks of raw salmon, this dish is refreshingly perfect for summer. K-Tang elevates traditional flavors with a light wasabi dressing that is invigorating and tasty. Don’t settle for the ordinary; let your palate explore the extraordinary.
Savor Handcrafted Cocktails at Julep
No weekend adventure is complete without a refreshing cocktail. Julep, Houston's James Beard Award-winning bar, promises an unforgettable drinking experience. Owner Alba Huerta has curated a cocktail menu that caters to every whim—from the classic mint juleps to innovative concoctions like the Banana Matcha Alexander. Pair any drink with their small bites like baked brie or lobster dip, and you’re guaranteed a delightful evening filled with flavor and camaraderie.
Unearth Houston's Historic Charm Beneath the Surface
For those seeking something off the beaten path, explore the Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern. A hidden gem beneath the city, the cistern is a former drinking water reservoir that now serves as a unique arts venue. It hosts dynamic performances and installations, and its mesmerizing 17-second echo creates an experience that’s as much auditory as it is visual. Tickets are only $15, allowing everyone to witness this captivating piece of Houston history.
