Jan 24 Things to do in Houston - closing out January

Hey Friends!

It’s been a minute, but I’m back in action and ready to bring you some fun, regular updates. We have a lot to catch up on (and I promise I’ll have other posts to get into the deets), but first let me share some cool Houston happenings for you to check out over the next week.

Friday, January 24th

The snow may be gone, but you can still enjoy ice skating downtown at Discovery Green. This winter-time classic is always fun and is only around for 1 more week, so make your plans to hit the ice rink.

Saturday, January 25th

Head to MFAH for the Notre-Dame Cathedral: An Immersive Experience before it ends on Sunday! This experience allows visitors to step “step inside an ethereal, dream-like depiction of Notre-Dame, where digital renderings suggest the devastating April 2019 fire and the subsequent damage, while also alluding to the extraordinary efforts undertaken to restore the structure,” per their website. Get your tickets here and spend a day taking in all of the current exhibitions.

Keep crushing your 2025 fitness goals with a FREE workout at Stomping Grounds in Garden Oaks hosted by All Inspired Fitness! Start your Saturday morning with a high energy workout followed by Brunch at one of the delicious restaurants surrounding the green space. Reserve your free spot here. They’re also hosting a Lunar New Year event on the green next Wednesday, January 29th from 6pm-8pm with free appetizers and a lion dance to celebrate the year of the snake!

Monday, January 27th

Kickoff the week with Happy Hour at Uchiko. Available in the bar area only, from 4pm-10pm Sunday - Thursday, what a great way to enjoy catching up with friends in Uchiko’s sexy environment. Sounds to me like a delicious way to set the tone for the final week of the month. Make your reservations and sip a cocktail for me too!

Tuesday, January 28th

Wine and Dine at KP’s Kitchen for a 4 course wine pairing dinner with Domaine Serene Vineyards. Savor crab cakes, herb crusted ribeye, and more while sipping offerings from Domaine Serene like their chardonnay and Grand Cheval red with a special guest from the winery. This dinner is priced at $125 per person, so get your tickets while seats are still available.

Wednesday, January 29th

Up the ante on your WFH with LinkUp HTX and Oqupi’s Co-Working Day at Kefita Coffee from 10am-2pm. As their website states, “Connect with fellow visionaries and creatives in an inspiring space designed to foster innovation and exchange ideas. Whether you're brainstorming, building, or networking, this is your time to focus, share, and elevate your craft alongside like-minded individuals. Come prepared to study, share, and spark new ideas!” This is also a kick-off to Oqupi’s LinkUp HTX Creative Summit which will be held on Saturday, February 1st. I have a special discount code (DAYSWITHDOM) that’ll save you $8 on a General Admission ticket here.

Friday, January 31st

Close out the month with a date night at the Houston Grand Opera for a performance of West Side Story. The classic Broadway musical meets the dynamic Houston Grand Opera orchestra and chorus for a memorable adaptation. Mark your calendars and secure your tickets - grab a bite pre show bite at Andiron!

I hope you enjoy this taste of what’s happening around town over the next week. Get out, explore, meet new people, and create exciting experiences in HTX.

Have fun, be safe, and always feel free to share your moments with me! Have an event that you want me to highlight? Shoot me and email for consideration.

-Cheers, Dom!
