Mutiny Wine Room

TEMPT TASTEBUDS WITH food and drink events all across Houston — and consider an al fresco workout to balance the weekend! As is the case these days, there are plenty of virtual and livestream happenings, too. Here's a rundown of the most interesting things happening in H-Town this weekend.

Toast Mutiny's One-Year with Free Wine

Mutiny Wine Room celebrates its one-year anniversary on Thursday with a free wine tasting from 4-10pm. Mutiny sommelier Ben Harris will take guests on a wine-fueled trip around the world and back in just 30 minutes. Reservations are required; call (832) 618-1233 or check Resy.

Savor Then Sweat at Buffalo Bayou Park

Local nutrition and exercise guru Erin Stewart hosts a free, socially-distanced al fresco workout this Friday. The event, held at Buffalo Bayou Park's Brown Foundation Lawn and sponsored by hip fitness brand Carbon38, is to celebrate the launch of Savor + Sweat, her new app that allows users to bring her natural foods and sustainable workout philosophy home. Bring a mat and a mask to join the 45-minute sweat sesh, and leave with delicious samples of Savor Foods.

Bike Between Bars

On Friday, the New Magnolia Bicycle Club will be spinning in more ways than one. Starting at New Magnolia Brewing at 6pm, the group takes off on a 10-mile leisure ride around the Heights, stopping at two local bars along the way before making its way back to the brewery. There is no cover charge, but be sure to bring your wallet to cover drink costs along the way.

Visit the Riel Pop-Up at East End Backyard

Chef Peter Nguyen hosts a Riel pop-up this Sunday at East End Backyard from 1-6pm. The menu is New England-inspired, boasting clam chowder, mini lobster rolls and more. For its part, East End offers than 20 beers and ciders on tap, and a full cocktail menu. Bring along four-footed friends to enjoy the 3,500-square-foot dog park, too!

Get Creative Juices Flowing with Writespace

Saturday, Writespace organizes a virtual panel composed of a musician, a dancer, a poet, a non-fiction writer and a visual artist all talking about their creative processes. The virtual event is aimed to inspire and push those who may feel unmotivated or need an extra push in light of the crazy events of the past year. The event starts at 4pm via Zoom, and there will be a short reception at 5:30pm when the panel has concluded. Tickets are pay-what-you-can, starting at $10.

Gather the Fam and Tune in to a 'Wild' Show

Houston composer Karl Blench orchestrated the musical suite for best-selling author Dan Brown's Wild Symphony, a collection of short pieces composed by Brown to accompany his first-ever book for children. On Saturday night, the Houston Symphony livestreams the show, with Robert Franz doing double-duty conducting and reading passages from the book. In it, animals — including elephants, kangaroos and armadillos — come together under the baton of Maestro Mouse to frolic and impart some life lessons to young readers. A free app allows listeners to hover a smartphone over the pages and hear the music.

Leadership in Action: ‘Family, Community and Spiritual Connection’ Drives Success for Henry Richardson

Leadership in Action: ‘Family, Community and Spiritual Connection’ Drives Success for Henry Richardson

How did you get to where you are today? The present moment is a combined history of my family, my time as an athlete, my passion for learning, and my desire to see the world be better. I grew up as a successful springboard and platform diver, however, an injury caused me to seek alternative treatments to heal my body. In that process, I discovered the power of yoga, exercise, meditation, mindset, and nutrition. This holistic approach eventually led me to open a Pilates and cycling studio called DEFINE body & mind. I opened studios around the nation, and after selling most of my business between 2017-2019, I was ready to explore how I could make an even greater impact on the wellbeing of our community. In 2023, I started actively working on a brand new multi-family/apartment concept called, Define Living. The idea focused on offering health and wellness services within a beautiful apartment setting to increase the wellbeing of our residents. Having a strong sense of community is the number one factor in living a happy life, so why not build a community where daily fitness, cooking classes, and social connection are the norm? We opened Define Living in March of 2024, and we couldn’t be happier with how things are being received. We are already looking at building more concepts like this in the Houston area and beyond.

1,500 Miles from its OG Property on Nantucket, Palm Beach’s White Elephant Beckons

The lobby of White Elephant Palm Beach

COVERED IN VERDANT vines and flanked by tall palm trees, the entrance to the White Elephant Palm Beach feels like passing into a stately home, rather than one of the island’s newest resorts. The building is 101 years old, and while the original footprint and façade remain, the interior has a decidedly updated, ultra-luxe beach vibe.
