Seems like the only one left is the one on San Felipe. The plan was to convert to CAVA but apparently they’ve been going back and forth on that. I’m not sure where they stand now, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"On hold" is not the way I'd have phrased it, if that's the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntheKnowHouston Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Bluestone Lane is open at Rice Village. The latest Houston location made its debut either February 15 or close to that date. The all-day cafe and coffee shop is located at 2414 University Blvd, Suite 190. Additional details from an article published a few weeks ago on Eater Houston: "...its Rice Village locale, situated near CB2 and West Elm, will be among the largest of all of the company’s locations nationwide. Along with generous indoor and outdoor seating, the restaurant has beach-themed decor, textured paintings, and a bespoke mural by Houston artist Shelbi Nicole on an exterior wall." https://houston.eater.com/2023/2/15/23600949/bluestone-lane-rice-village-houston-opening 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntheKnowHouston Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Prego will be relocating soon, likely some time this year. The news was reported in October. Currently located at 2520 Amherst St, Prego's new digs will still be in Rice Village. It is moving to 5515 Kelvin Dr., Suite 130. Talbots, a clothing retailer, occupies the unit. Additional details from CultureMap's article: Prego will remain open at its current location (2520 Amherst) until the new restaurant — currently a Talbots clothing store — is ready to open. Anthony Vu from 2X Studio will design the new space, which will blend elements of the current location with some more contemporary touches. https://houston.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/prego-restaurant-moving-rice-village/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specwriter Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I ate at the Hudson House in Addison a little over a year ago. I was in town on business and taken there by a colleague who raved about the place. Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion but it doesn't mean he or she knows good food or decent service for that matter. This place had neither. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 There is a new master plan being developed by a major Houston firm for Rice University's property in the Village. It's all in the early planning stages and it will be a Rice Village Game Changer for sure. Thats all I can say. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntheKnowHouston Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 A demolition permit was purchased last week for The Ginger Man. The former beer bar was located at 5607 Morningside Dr. "The beloved bar hit hard times at the beginning of the pandemic and closed in the spring of 2020. Rice University bought the property in June 2020," according a 2021 Houston Chronicle article. At the time, management noted they're "still evaluating the building to determine what needs to be done to find a new tenant." https://www.houstonchronicle.com/food-culture/article/Permanently-closed-Ginger-Man-awaits-its-fate-16132297.php On 3/18/2024 at 11:45 PM, hindesky said: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's part of the master plan I was talking about in January along with all of the property from Greenbriar to Morningside. Might be big changes to the west side of Rice campus like the stadium area. Lots more too come! Does anyone have access to Rice Universities holdings in the village. That's the key to the plan. All of their property will be redeveloped with this new plan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of this area's charm are the eclectic shops and buildings. While Rice Management Company doesn't own all the properties surrounding Rice Village District, are they going to acquire more?
