  1. I keep forgetting about this thing. Maybe it'll be open in time for the next Super Bowl...
  2. Pappadeaux sign is up. The article doesn't say when it will open though. "With just over three weeks until Super Bowl LI, progress continues on upcoming Avenida Houston Restaurants, as the Pappadeaux Seafood sign rises on the south end of the George R. Brown Convention Center. The restaurant's title is well known to Houstonians, as part of the Pappas restaurant portfolio. With fresh seafood options, the location will go well with the already-opened options along Avenida Plaza and in the various hotels. Guests can find the restaurant at the south-end of the convention center, across from the Hilton Americas-Houston on Avenida de las Americas." https://www.avenidahouston.com/articles/post/pappadeaux-signage-rises/
  3. McAlister's Deli to open January 23rd. https://www.facebook.com/McDeliHtown/
  4. Finally made it to this hotel last night. First, I went to Grotto for Happy Hour, which was awesome, then went over to Biggio's for a few hours and walked through the hotel. I also saw Tilman Fertitta hanging out at Biggio's and he was commenting on how Grotto turned out really well (He owns it). This whole area has a completely different vibe and feel to it now which is just amazing compared to what it was a few short years ago. I'm planning on going to Biggio's for the Texan's game Saturday and sitting in one of the upstairs booth areas.
  5. Yea i wish they would hurry and finish the restaurants. They told us late summer the day I moved in, then October...November...December... The most frustrating thing is the utilities for the restaurants must not have colluded with the building of the apartments as they have went back and ripped up the sidewalk by the parking garage a couple months ago to install gas lines and CenterPoint is constantly disrupting the power in the entire complex to install generators ect for the restaurants. The power goes out at least once a week. A few weeks ago they were installing a generator near the parking garage entrance and caused a fire knocking out power in the entire complex for the whole weekend so 500 Crawford paid for hotels at the Westin and Hilton Americas for residents to stay and then gave everyone $50 HEB gift cards for groceries. As I type this, the power has already went out twice today..... pretty frustrating...
  6. Just went jogging through this area....wow. This will be HUGE for downtown Houston once all of the restaraunts are open. There is also lots of buzz around the Marriott Marquis as it opens today and saw a bunch of suits inside Biggio's for some sort of meeting I supposed. Can't wait to check it out.
  7. Yea this picture reminds me of an old motel or something. Oh well, nice addition to the area!
  8. I agree. This will be like the Whole Foods on Post Oak with the parking strip in front. I wish they took the Whole Foods/Apartments in Midtown route. Oh well....
  9. According to the chron, the corner at Crawford and Capitol will eventually be a restaurant. http://www.chron.com/entertainment/restaurants-bars/article/Houston-s-new-restaurant-row-10785653.php#photo-12017376
  10. It was removed from the garage going up at Franklin & Milam http://www.houstonarchitecture.com/haif/topic/32685-franklin-milam-10-story-garage/?page=3
  11. Residents have started moving in according to their FB page. https://www.facebook.com/Market-Square-Tower-766821583419455/?fref=ts
  12. Found this online. Sneak peak of what the interior of Grotto will look like.
  13. The Sky Pool has been getting alot of buzz in the media. " Market Square Tower, at 777 Preston, is new to Houston's downtown scene and is accepting leases now. As of Wednesday, 25 percent of the tower's 463 units have been leased" http://www.chron.com/homes/article/Market-Square-Tower-s-pool-extends-10-feet-beyond-10507973.php
  14. Not sure how they got my email, but they sent out this invitation yesterday for an event next Thursday so I'll probably walk over and check it out. Just passing it along in case anyone is interested in checking it out.
