bachanon Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 i expressed disbelief when the little bird said ritz carlton, but tweety mentioned confirmation from two sources on both sides of the, uhh, development. anyone hear any rumblings that they can confirm or not deny?also, crush (wine lounge) and sirenuse euro bistro are in the works. sirenuse is somehow related to the folks that brought us goose's acre. the viking cooking school in the new hubbell & hudson market & bistro will be the only houston location. registration is available at viking cooking school.one more rumor is that hubbell & hudson bought all three black walnut locations to shore up the finances for the new market & bistro at 24 waterway.something about an upscale hawaiian restaurant too.fun fun.

citizen4rmptown Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 really? correct me if im wrong, but i thought there isnt a ritz-carlton in houston,respectively So to have one in the Woodlands would be out of this world and is this close to the center of the city or in a different location? feel free to not answer them, as the info.you posted is probably all you know..

albertnurick Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Hubbell & Hudson did buy up the Black Walnuts... sadly, I think they've gone downhill since the acquisition. As far as the other rumors, I find the idea of a Ritz-Carlton tough to fathom; I don't think we have either the business or tourist traffic to justify it.

So the life of the rumor continues...Hmmm... I'll see what (if anything) I can find on that... There is a new building going up directly next to the square; it's too small to be a hotel - supposed to be filled with more eatery / retail clients.Additionally, there are at least 2 more buildings going up to the east of the square - I think one of them will be a 'waterway tower' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to guess, maybe that will be the location if it's true? You'd think the location would have to be awesome, so I don't see it being any further from the square. But who knows?...

pineda Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Hubbell and Hudson kinda reminds me of Eatzi's in the Post Oak area. I hope it fares better than Eatzi's did.

Woodzy Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Chocolata closed down? Their website is still up. Not that it means muchhttp://www.chocolatacocoabar.com/Chocolata closed down around the 1st of October, 2008. Interestingly enough, there was a sign on the window from September "50% off in October" sale.... Too bad they didn't stay open long enough to actually have the sale.

bachanon Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 yes, i've been following sirenuse's twitters too. the day the wine vendor came was a fairly traumatic day for one of the owners. i offered to come over and bar the doors along side her, holding the wine hostage. we could have released the lesser brands until we reached a compromise. however, she said goodbye to her "children". it was sad to hear. rumor has it that a different concept will reopen in the same location. "crush" opens friday night. it is uber cool inside and i hope to get a better preview tomorrow. contractors are working in the rio 24 cigar & premium liquor bar location daily.

woody_hawkeye Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Wonder if a Ruggles Green will make it there. If I want a $11 bisonburger I might go there instead of the bisonburger place at the freeway, for convenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
