Summer Youth Activities in the Memorial District

Many of the Memorial District’s summertime activities for children are back and better than ever this year. There is something for every child, whether you prefer activities that are academic, active, or just plain fun.

Life Time Athletic CITYCENTRE’s family-friendly activities this summer include Super Builder Challenge on June 5, Tween Game Night on June 5, and Slime and Splash on June 19. Each event takes place from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. The Super Builder Challenge is a competition event where children build with blocks. Tween Game Night is a time for kids to have a blast with board games. During Slime and Splash, children make messy slime of different colors in a science lab. Each event includes a pizza party. Keep an eye on summertime activities at Life Time Athletic CITYCENTRE here.

Each summer, Memorial City Mall offers a wide range of activities for children. Here are some of the events on offer so far.

 

Head over to Frolic’s Castle, the world’s largest indoor soft play space, every Friday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. for Friday Funday with Frolic. Memorial City Mall’s mascot, Frolic, will make a special appearance and take pictures with the kids.

Next, bring your children to the Square at Memorial City Mall for Kidtastic, Summer in the City, an event series just for kids. Two events are on the schedule so far for June. First, on June 9, check out Kidtastic’s Art at Frolic’s Castle.

Then, on June 23, it’s Kidtastic’s Magic with Michael Blanco.

Plus, don’t forget that Friday Family Movie Night is back with free family-friendly movies at a new time, 8 p.m. to 11 p.m., at the Square at Memorial City Mall. Watch from the grassy area or one of the fabulous patios surrounding the Square. On June 11, catch Thor: Ragnarok.

You can now register for summer camps at Adventure Kids Memorial City. Each week has a different theme, and there are dynamic group activities, hands-on creative projects, and fun games each day. These day camps run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. KinderCare at Bunker Hill also has a great 12-week summer program for children. The daily activities are designed to make your child’s summertime exciting and memorable.

 

Help your children devote time to important academic activities over the summer with mathematics tutoring from Mathnasium Memorial City. Keep those mathematics skills sharp with just a few hours of tutoring each week. Similarly, check out the tutoring opportunities for young musicians at Sessions Music and Virtuosi of Houston.

Are you wondering about the safety of in-person events for children? According to Jean Raphael, MD, MPH of Texas Children’s Hospital in the Memorial District, the benefits of children participating in in-person activities this summer may outweigh other concerns if safety measures are a priority at those camps. In the Memorial District, our businesses take safety seriously. You can anticipate the continued practice of physical distancing, masking, and hand-washing at all events. Learn more here.

As you plan activities for your children this year, look to the Memorial District first!

Memorial Day Weekend is a time to pay respects to fallen soldiers who served to keep America the land of the free. It’s also considered the unofficial start of summer. There are activities, brunches, and fun attractions to enjoy over the long weekend in the Memorial District.

Begin the festivities with Friday Family Movie Night in the Square at Memorial City, where you can catch Toy Story 4 for free on the enormous 24'x14′ HDTV from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Head to the Plaza at CITYCENTRE from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for live music. Catch pop musician Jon David Finney on Friday, May 28; R&B musician Kameron Williams on Saturday, May 29; and Christian musician Zack Meeks on Sunday, May 30.

 

Looking for a budget-friendly activity? Take a bike tour scavenger hunt of the Memorial District to look for the patriotic art in UP Art Studio's Mini Murals project, such as local artist Joy Matheson’s mural at Memorial City. Similarly, you can hunt for art in the third annual Art @ CITYCENTRE. Because May is National Bike Month, you can find great deals on bike rides in the Memorial District.

 

Give back in honor of Memorial Day. Participate in one of Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center's two Memorial Day Weekend mobile blood drives. The first will be in the Plaza at CITYCENTRE from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 29. The second will be in the south parking lot of Memorial City near the food court entrance from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. At the latter, all donors will get a coupon for a free 8-ounce shaved ice. Plus, Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center will donate $5 to Wounded Warrior on each donor's behalf. Register in advance by contacting Carly Pappert at cpappert@giveblood.org, or visit commitforlife.org to sign up.

Many Memorial District restaurants will have delicious brunch specials over the Memorial Day Weekend. For example, enjoy the "Ultimate Brunch Buffet" at Churrascos until 3 p.m. on Sunday, May 30. Keep an eye out for updates on our Facebook page.

Then, on Memorial Day, Monday, May 31, celebrate with Memorial City's Remember and Honor event from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will be a patriotic presentation of colors and a majestic flyover by the Commemorative Air Force. This event also includes a live band, face painting, balloon art, and much more!

CITYCENTRE and the Weingarten Art Group are proud to present the third annual Art @ CITYCENTRE! This rotating art program features exciting exhibitions of works from Texas-based artists and galleries, such as Brad Tucker, Lou Peralta, and Ansen Seale. You can see the art on display now through June 26 in lobby spaces across CITYCENTRE.

"Each of these artists brings a fresh perspective to their work: Brad Tucker explores color and texture, Lou Peralta pushes the boundaries of portraiture and Ansen Seale teases the unusual out of the usual," said Lea Weingarten, Principal, and Founder of Weingarten Art Group. "All together, they offer a new dimension to CITYCENTRE's art program and to its multiple and intellectually curious audiences." Weingarten Art Group partners with clients and artists to plan, curate, develop and manage public and private art collections.

"Curated art in commercial buildings and spaces like CITYCENTRE is on the rise, largely due to strategic partnerships with art experts such as Weingarten Art Group," added Robert Williamson, Senior Vice President, Investment Management. "By showcasing Art @ CITYCENTRE's free, immersive exhibitions, we are not only able to provide a public voice for these talented artists but are also able to attract a new audience through our loyal visitors and tenants alike."

Austin-based artist Brad Tucker's "Springtime Skies" exhibition decorates the walls of the newly renovated lobby in CITYCENTRE 2. Then, you can stop by the lobby of CITYCENTRE 3 to browse the eye-catching artwork of Lou Peralta's "Disassemble" exhibition. The works by fourth-generation portrait photographer Peralta helps people build appreciation for Mexican identities.

Over in the lobby of CITYCENTRE 4, you can see work by San Antonio Art League & Museum's Artist of The Year, Ansen Seale. This innovative installation is called "Texas and Other Places." Seale makes the images with a camera he created.

"I hope people can share my sense of wonder at how odd and mysterious the world around us is. I have a deep joy of discovery in the designs of everyday things we use and build," said Seale.

Want to check out these beautiful works? Visit CITYCENTRE during regular business hours from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays. CITYCENTRE 3 is also open from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Saturdays. Each of these unique pieces of artwork is available for purchase upon request. For more information about the Art @ CITYCENTRE program, visit citycentrehouston.com or pick up the most recent issue of Midway's District Magazine. Follow CITYCENTRE on Instagram at @citycentrehou for the latest updates.

May is National Bike Month, which means now is the perfect time to get outside, hop on a bike, and experience the joys of biking. Riding a bike in Houston can give you a new perspective of our fabulous city. Whether you are new to biking or an experienced rider, the Memorial District has bike-share options and biking products for all.

Thanks to the nonprofit bike-share program Houston BCycle, biking in the Memorial District is more accessible and affordable than ever. They have around 1,100 bikes at stations in Houston, including one near Pearl CITYCENTRE and one near the Memorial City Club at 920 Memorial City Way. Guest passes are $3, and annual memberships are $79. Monthly memberships are usually $13. However, you can save money with the Bike Month Special Offer for a $10 monthly membership in May. Plus, if you are a student or staff member at a local university, click here to get a student discount.

Also, it is worth noting Houston BCycle prioritizes the health and safety of its riders. The organization puts a premium on sanitizing its public bikes. This critical component of the bike-share program's philosophy has become more important than ever in the past year.

This month, the Houston-Galveston Area Council invites you to enjoy many Bike Month events. On May 20, enjoy Bike-Share Awareness Day at Memorial Picnic Loop from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. Houston BCycle will be there to provide free rides, discounts on memberships, and details about bike stations.

On May 21, participate in Bike to Wherever Day for FREE for 30 minutes courtesy of Houston BCycle. That includes the e-bikes. Download the BCycle app and put in the code BTWD for your free ride. Alternatively, punch in code 0521 at the kiosk at Pearl CITYCENTRE to get this deal. Post a picture of yourself biking to work or anywhere else with the hashtag #GulfCoastBikes on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or LinkedIn, and tag @HouGalvAreaCog. They will select one person each week to receive a Commute Solutions Swag Box.

You can also take a virtual cycling safety course called CyclingSavvy anytime during May for a chance to win some cycling swag from H-GAC.

Another idea is to make a day of it in the Memorial District and bike from Memorial City to CITYCENTRE to Town and Country Village to the Conrad Sauer Detention Basin. There are always exciting outdoor events to check out, or you could take a bike out to enjoy artworks that are part of UP Art Studio's Mini Murals project. Houston BCycle also has suggestions for popular routes to try throughout Houston.

Gearing up to make biking a part of your life? Find all the bikes and bike gear at Academy Sports Bunker Hill or Sun & Ski Sports. There are many ways to enjoy biking here in the Memorial District. Happy biking!

New CITYCENTRE restaurant ReikiNa is cooking up a unique dining experience for the Memorial District. ReikiNa offers a tasting menu with a European take on Asian cuisine. Business owners Andrew Herron and Thomas Stacy hope guests visit not only for a delicious meal but also for a new and exciting experience.

"I like to call it experiential fine dining because it is more than just dinner," Stacy said. He described ReikiNa as communal and explained that this aspect of the restaurant was something he enjoyed during dinner parties he has served in the past. "Many groups I served included folks who did not know each other. These seemed to be the most interesting and stimulating dinners, as these people had to find common ground and get out of their comfort zone."

For now, ReikiNa does not have a signature dish. Instead, the team plans to make new dishes every six to eight weeks. Dishes will offer cohesive coursing. Recent dishes have included Brussels sprouts, burrata, and kimchi; octopus, pink peppercorn, yuzu, and arbequina; uni, egg pasta, guanciale, trout roe, and bottarga; and more. A recent menu had a dish with honey nut squash, sake braised peppers, coconut yuzu pudding, and fried sage and shallots. Likewise, Stacy described a dish called Lights in the Mountain from a recent menu.

"It gave the experience of camping on the Continental Divide Trail," he said. "Eel consommé poured tableside represented a mountain lake. Khombu and melted leeks represented the marsh grass. Crispy grilled trout represented the mountainside, and blacklight reactive vitamin B50 was flicked on the rim of the bowls and revealed when the lights were turned off and the black light came on. I told guests that the stars were coming out on the mountain lake."

ReikiNa is full of personal touches. For example, guests choose vinyl records to play a soundtrack for their dining experience, or they can enjoy the sounds of the piano when Stacy plays at the end of the night. Similarly, guests can expect a community feeling when everyone dines around an 11-foot table and bar top that Stacy made from reclaimed barn wood. Furthermore, there will be a 106-foot art gallery wall showcasing local artists' work.

The name is a blend of two Japanese words that together refer to snacks paired with divine energy. This is what the ReikiNa team wants to give Houston in addition to presenting something entirely new to the area. They knew the Memorial District would be the perfect place for their restaurant because it is home to potential clientele with adventurous tastes. For now, ReikiNa offers 20 seats at a time. The space is large and open, so guests can feel comfortable and safe. According to Stacy, the reduced number of seats gives the restaurant a chance to offer extra details when crafting the menu and service.

"I hope I can bring a joyful artistic experience to the area," Stacy said, discussing the rapidly growing popularity of meals as an experience. He explained that ReikiNa wants guests to ask questions and learn something new every time they visit. "Many people are growing more interested in learning about food. People are longing to have an extraordinary experience after being isolated and living so cautiously for the past year. We plan to give them this experience. With ReikiNa I hope to bring a focus to how blessed we are to be alive and to help others find peace."

Houston TranStar’s It’s Only a White Line campaign helps avert accidents when motorists and pedestrians become stuck on local freeways. Furthermore, the campaign wants to prevent tragedies and help drivers move vehicles off the road to follow Texas’s Move Over or Slow Down law.

 

“We must also educate people about the dangers of getting out of the car, changing a tire or trying to cross the freeway on foot,” said Dinah Massie, Executive Director of Houston TranStar. Reportedly, 75 percent of stranded motorists who died in Harris County over a 10-year timespan were standing by their vehicles. Moreover, the risk of injury or death in a secondary crash increases every minute that a person is not in a safe place on the road.

 

 

The It’s Only a White Line initiative advises drivers to take steps when a problem arises. First, take the closest exit, even if it breaks the tire rim. Alternatively, pull as far off the road as possible. When you’re stranded, remain in the vehicle. Stay buckled up, turn on hazard lights, call for help and move your seat as far back as possible. In the Tow and Go service area, use TranStar’s free mobile app to call for a no-cost tow. The Tow and Go quick clearance program provides no-cost towing up to one mile for vehicles that break down from mechanical issues.

 

“We have representatives from incident management, law enforcement, transportation, medical research, hospital trauma and auto insurance who are providing incredible insight and guidance for preventing freeway deaths,” said Massie. TranStar recruited a cross-section of experts with a distinct relevance to this issue to serve on an It’s Only a White Line Leadership Council.

 

The campaign features helpful information in both English and Spanish. For example, check out these two graphics from the campaign.

 

 

 

It’s Only a White Line wants to clear up misconceptions about freeway accidents as well. For example, motorists sometimes think moving out of harm’s way after a crash will cause them to lose insurance coverage, but this is false.

 

“Your insurance carrier is first and foremost concerned with your safety,” said David Wuthrich, Executive Director of the Independent Insurance Agents of Houston and member of the It’s Only a White Line Leadership Council. “In the past, documenting a crash for insurance meant waiting for law enforcement at the scene, but getting out of danger is the first step. Taking pictures of the crash from within the safety of your vehicle, including photos of the other vehicle’s license plate, is the next important step. But getting off the freeway is the name of the game.”

 

 

Travel with knowledge from TranStar, including information on It’s Only a White Line at HoustonTranstar.org. Download TranStar’s Mobile App at the Google Play or Apple App store to access travel times, roadway conditions, and Tow and GoTM service.

 

Spring has arrived! It’s time to bury your coat in the back of the closet and bring out those beautiful spring dresses and golf shorts. Spring brings a breath of fresh air as we do away with the drab and bring out the sparkling, bright hues that make us smile once more. Let’s refresh our wardrobes with the latest styles and colors of the season. Michael Kors has brought out jewel-toned purses and clutches, the perfect accessories to complement any outfit. Coach has developed its Tabby purse into a soft pillowy version that comes in bright hues that work well as a swap out for the black winter season classic.

Anything Bling Boutique has these styles in the prettiest hues and patterns around. Pop in and check out their entire spring collection. Spring is also a chance to bring out your white pants or jeans. Pair them with a pastel or bright color top to make an outfit for any occasion. For example, check out the latest fun spring outfits at Marlo Miller Boutique. Anthropologie, American Eagle, and Free People are several places to check out beautiful flowing maxi dresses, floral print dresses, and lacy blouses. Then, Free People’s latest collection, aptly named “the march,” includes flowy mini dresses, crochet tops, ripped cutoffs, and bohemian blouses.

Take out your shades and hit the District’s restaurant patios. Try the oyster platters at The Rouxpour, paired with a lemon drop martini or a Bloody Mary. What a delightful way to spend an afternoon. In the mood for pasta? Head on over to Maggiano’s Little Italy and try their shrimp Cacio e Pepe with delicious, made-from-scratch lemon parmesan sauce. Feel like a flight? No, not at the airport. We mean at State Fare, where you can get brunch and choose from beer flights and mimosa flights. Stop into Kirby Ice House Memorial or Torchy’s Tacos for a relaxing afternoon. Similarly, check out the cool vibes at the Tasting Room.

Are you looking for outdoor activities you can enjoy at home? Pick up a book from Barnes and Noble on gardening, installing a goldfish pond, or building backyard forts. Then, pick up supplies at the nearby Home Depot and start your project. Going fishing? Stop by Fishing Tackle Unlimited for all the latest equipment in addition to your clothing and tackle needs.

 

Spring activities are popping up as well. Events at Memorial City Mall include magicians, puppets, fun science projects, and movie nights. Plus, don’t miss the Easter Bunny at Memorial City Mall, and remember that live music has returned to the Plaza at CITYCENTRE on weekends.

Whatever your mood this spring, the Memorial District is the place to be. See you soon!
