LA Burgers & Daiquiris

Catch one of your favorite musicians or bands at the Arena Theater, a legend in Houston's music scene. As one of Houston's oldest concert venues, the Arena Theatre is notable for its arena-in-the-round style and excellent acoustics that have showcased such legendary and notable performers as Willie Nelson, BB King, Tom Jones, Aretha Franklin, Smokey Robinson, Foreigner, REO Speedwagon, Clint Black, and Huey Lewis and the News. The intimate setting feels more like a private event than a concert venue. All seats are less than 60 feet from the stage, giving you the feeling that you are part of the show, not just a spectator. The stage revolves, too, so every seat in the house is an excellent one.

Enjoy the smell of more than 250 worldwide varieties of spices at Penzeys Spices, where you can smell some of the most amazing seasonings that contain spices, herbs, flavorings, and gift sets. Penzeys has worked hard to make buying spice gifts a worthwhile thing to do. Yes, they have good spices. Great spices even, but they also understand that while customers appreciate the quality, they know that the gift may be spices, however the hope for the gift is that it opens the door to all the great things that become possible when good food causes friends and loved ones to linger around the dinner table just a little bit longer.

Explore the remnants of the Old Market Square at La Carafe, where they have a reasonably priced wine bar where anyone can enjoy a mellow atmosphere, a nice wine selection, and good company with interesting people. The dim lights are coupled with arguably the best jukebox in town, ringing tunes from jazz and oldies to the cool sounds of Bob Marley. The bar takes as much space as the area for customers, but that doesn’t stop those wanting to come in and relax a bit, even if it means cozying up to a stranger on a crowded Saturday night.
