M-K-T, THE COOL, repurposed mixed-use development along the Heights Hike and Bike Trail, is gearing up for a busy fall.

Events include the Sunset Market, Yoga on the Lawn and the new Trail Mix event, which debuted last weekend. This one, which takes place on the first Saturday of each month, is an outdoor music and variety show just for children. The kiddos will also enjoy the Hike Bike & Fright Fest on Oct. 30 with a trick-or-treat trail, photo booth, outdoor screening of Hocus Pocus and more.

Hot new restaurants are opening one-by-one, guaranteeing a steady flow of foodies throughout the complex. The most recent arrival, coastal-Mexican restaurant and lounge Casa Nomad, will whisk guests away to Tulum for a night. Also open: A handful of health-conscious options, including Rakkan Ramen, Tight Squeeze Juice Bar and Sweetgreen.

Soon, folks can raise a glass at upscale cocktail bar Highline Park, and round out the night with frozen custard at Honeychild's Sweet Creams, both opening soon. Mendocino Farms will open a new outpost, the area's fourth. And offering sustainably sourced sushi and seafood, Blue Sushi Sake Grill also bows this fall.

Meanwhile, there's plenty of shopping to be done ahead of the holiday season: Streetwear boutique Nollege, men's shoe store Taft, local athletic brand DYI, Chloe Dao and Ray-Ban have all opened their doors in recent weeks.

And let's hear it for the girls! Common Assembly stocks clothing and lifestyle items from brands with female founders. Tre' Sorelle is a light-filled women's clothing boutique owned by a local teacher, and June & Co. is another affordable boutique that hosts fun events like pumpkin painting on Oct. 14. Go Easy is a shop lined with giftable self-care goodies for women.

Chef-owner Austin Waiter of The Marigold Club, now serving fried chicken and Champagne on Sunday nights.


IF YOUR SUNDAY nights could use a little sparkle—and a lot of fried chicken—The Marigold Club has just the thing. Starting May 25 at 5pm, the Montrose hotspot known for its playful mix of Southern charm and London polish is rolling out a new weekly tradition: Fried Chicken & Champagne Sundays.

This isn’t your average comfort food situation. We're talking a shareable fried chicken dinner for two, made with farm-raised birds from Deeply Rooted Ranch, and served alongside buttery whipped potatoes, minted peas, aged cheddar scones, and some over-the-top sauces — including a foie gras sauce supreme that’s as extra as it sounds.

Spa-tacular Getaway Opportunity: Retreat to Mexico this Fall with a Houston Wellness Expert

Palmaïa The House of AïA

THIS FALL, LEBRINA Jackson, owner of Escape Spa in Cypress, is taking her wisdom and joie de wellness to the jungle. Far beyond the walls of her beautiful spa, she’s aiming to create a quiet space for people to work on their personal growth in a community-centric atmosphere. She shares what participants will get out of the trip and why it’s important to take time for self-care in 2025.

Why is it important for people to “retreat”? Life can feel like a non-stop marathon, and sometimes we forget to just... breathe. Retreating offers a chance to step off the treadmill for a bit and hit the reset button. It's about giving your body and mind some much-needed TLC, allowing for genuine relaxation and rejuvenation. Beyond the personal perks, retreats often create a cool sense of community, connecting you with others on a similar path. By carving out space for self-reflection, you can recharge and return to your daily life with a clearer head and a bit more pep in your step.
