Hermann Park's Cosmic Playground Reveal!
🚀 Good morning Space City!
Welcome to the premiere issue of our newsletter! This one is packed with cool stuff to do this weekend. Excited to have you all here, let’s dive in 🤘
We finally got a glimpse of Hermann Park's highly anticipated renovations, and let me tell you, it was totally worth the wait! The fantastic 2-acre central playground now boasts a space-themed play area, splash zone, merry-go-round, swing hill, and much more!
Mark your calendars because there's a ribbon-cutting ceremony and a big public bash on April 13th to unveil "The Commons" to the entire city of Houston!
Without a doubt, this is going straight onto Houston's list of top-notch playgrounds!

Sol7 - Behold the sky-high dining delight
Perched on the 7th heaven of the brand spanking new Thompson Hotel, you'll find not just a restaurant, but a view to kill for. Picture this: the skyline stretching out like a canvas painted with twinkling lights and skyscrapers.
At the helm, Chef @alexandre_viriot is stirring up a storm with a menu that's nothing short of spectacular. From the must-try charcuterie board that'll have your taste buds dancing to a raw bar that's as fresh as the morning dew.
Dive into salads that snap with crispness, grab onto handheld treasures like the luxurious Maine lobster roll and the indulgently juicy wagyu smash burger, twirl your fork into pasta that whispers tales of Italy, and surrender to desserts that are simply sinful.
And as if that wasn't enough, there are cocktails that refresh and dazzle, all while you're soaking in that breath-stealing skyline view 😍. Perfect for that swoon-worthy romantic night out. This is one gem you won't want to skip—book your adventure now!
