    On Saturday, April 22, Lyric Market will hold a grand opening celebration from noon to 3 p.m. with live music, vendor sampling, a crawfish boil, and activities for children. It’s also an opportunity for Lyric to introduce several new concepts within its vendor portfolio. There have been changes at the food hall since it opened in the fall. Several original vendors (Alenbi Falafel + Hummus, Bad Chx, Mission Burger, and Lottie’s Smokehouse) have departed and been replaced by new concepts. Also, Hospitality HQ, a consulting group that originally managed Lyric Market, is out. BIG DIPPER: Where to find the Houston area's best chile con queso dips So what’s new at Lyric? Four new concepts have joined the lineup that includes original vendors 1929 Po-Boy Kitchen, Horu Sushi, Kati Roll Wala, Mexology, Press Waffle Co., and Rhapsody Bar. They are: Mama’s Texas Smokehouse (serving Texas barbecue sandwiches, plates, and other barbecue dishes); Francis' Café (from the same owner of Mama’s Texas Smokehouse, serving an all-day café menu of sandwiches, salads, and soups), Café JuJu (plant-based comfort foods and cold-pressed juices); and Starbucks, a new satellite location inside Press Waffle Co. “We take pride in working with up-and-coming restaurateurs at Lyric Market, and we are excited to bring these new concepts into our food hall,” said Lyric Market general manager Nick Vroulis. “In addition to our current vendor roster, These new concepts will allow both locals and visitors alike to experience the best of the Houston food scene in one visit, from Texas barbecue and vegan comfort food to Indian street food, sushi and Belgian waffles.” Saturday’s grand opening ceremony also will be the first public viewing of Lyric’s second floor terrace area, a space that can be used for private events, pop-ups, cooking classes, and other community activations. Lyric Market is open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner – Monday through Thursday 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday 10 am. to 9 p.m. With ample public parking, Lyric offers two-hour validated parking with a food hall purchase.

    1,250 a month for 350sqft— Super cool location but sheesh.

    The Gamebox wasn’t bad and I like the idea. They should fill this place with as much entertainment options as possible. This is wishful thinking but how cool would it be to turn something like this into an entertainment hub. Each suite offering a different experience like virtual golf, virtual baseball, virtual racing, putt putt, escape rooms, laser tag, bowling, themed bars, rainforest cafe type restaurant, game show experience etc etc. all under one roof- it would be a big ass mall but for entertainment experiences. Maybe it wouldn’t make enough money on weekdays to be feasible, but it would be nice to have something like that downtown 🤷🏻‍♂️ Ok dream over.

    I walked The Highlight last weekend an I was not impressed tbh. Puttshack is cool and should help but everything else is just lipstick. The third floor is exactly the same and the current tenants are less than impressive. Is there plans to renovate the third floor as well?

    Utterly impossible but how cool would it be for the city to boycott parking at these lots.
  7. nate4l1f3
    . bummer. Was hoping the 2026 World Cup was in play.
  8. nate4l1f3
    I wonder if he’s talking specifically about the parking lots around the stadium or just the NRG area in general?
  9. nate4l1f3
    Glad to hear this is still on.
  10. nate4l1f3
    I was out and about all weekend and I spotted out of town fans EVERYWHERE. He must just not be a fan of the city and that’s ok.

    I remember as a kid seeing the renderings of Toyota Center and even back then I was underwhelmed. It felt outdated from day 1 to me. I’d like to see a more imposing facade something similar to this.

    Maybe they’ll utilize that outdoor patio again.
  14. nate4l1f3
    I’ve mentioned it here before but Ive got a sneaky feeling he’s going to ask for a new area. That or maybe he’s going to ask for some public money to fund a huge face lift to Toyota Center. I just refuse to believe that he’s changed his mind on all that big talk when he bought the team about upgrading the arena and building the Rockets a mixed-use training facility.
  15. nate4l1f3
    NM I got it.
  16. nate4l1f3
    Yup. He is also building a casino on the Strip from ground up. The Rockets are on the back burner.
  17. nate4l1f3
    Can anyone post the article?
  18. nate4l1f3
    Yeah I’m not counting on Tilman doing anything slightly progressive with the Rockets. Cap talk is cool but it seems so far away.
  19. nate4l1f3
    This mixed use development has always been planned for the area highlight. It’s been mentioned that he does own several lots around the ballpark including those that you mentioned.

    I wonder what The Shops at Houston Centers hours will be once they’re fully open. There needs to be some signage or something to let people knows what’s inside that building.
  21. nate4l1f3
    The Batter does for sure. If you trust Google Earth here’s how it compares us to Ballpark Village in St Louis.
  22. nate4l1f3
    Foot traffic was another thing that came to mind as well. It isn’t that hot that we can’t walk across the street 🤦🏻‍♂️. I’m going to guess the hotel is the part that will be connected via skywalk.
  23. nate4l1f3
    It was the place to be when it first opened but it slowly died over the years. I watched the Astros win the World Series here so it’ll live on forever in my memory!
  24. nate4l1f3
    Sorry if this was already mentioned but it looks like Bovine & Barley and 416 Main St. has permanently closed. Google maps mentions it as permanently closed as well.
  25. nate4l1f3
    Does anyone have any opinions about the above street walkway mentioned in the article? My first thought was an indoor sky bridge like the others downtown but is that really necessary? I wouldn’t want anything added to the stadium that would mess up the aesthetics and the original design. Thoughts?
