Tables are set with white linens and fresh flowers, and there is live piano music on Friday and Saturday nights, making it perfect for a romantic date. Meals start with complementary cheese-topped bread that customers love just as much as their entrees. The menu offers lunch sandwiches, full size pasta entrees, and an array of fish, steaks, and chops. Try the Cajun seared Mahi Mahi and the Chicken Alfredo. Service is attentive without being overbearing, and prices are quite reasonable for the quality and portion. White Flamingo also has several private rooms that can accommodate wedding receptions and other celebrations.

Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion: The Center Of Culture In The Woodlands

May 9, 2013 by

Since opening in 1990, the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion has become the second most used amphitheatre in the world, showing that Texans have as big an appetite for culture as they do for anything else. Construction on the project began when the Houston Symphony expressed interest in a summer facility in the Woodlands, and the Pavilion has since grown into a top-flight performance space for a large number of organizations. The facility has been steadily expanded since opening, and can now seat a staggering 17,000 people. Both the Houston Symphony and the Houston Ballet perform there regularly, and except for special events, lawn seating is free, which is awesome. In addition to the regular groups, the Pavilion books some of the biggest touring musical acts in the country, including Christina Aguilera, Iron Maiden, and dozens more. The venue is remarkably well run for such a huge space, with plenty of bathrooms and concessions available.

Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts: A Community Art Gallery

April 23, 2013 by

One of the most delightful art spaces near Marquis at the Woodlands, the recently renovated Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts is a museum that's always in transition. Because there are no permanent exhibits, there are always different things to see at the facility. The late Pearl Fincher was a local community leader, and this museum is a great tribute to her legacy. There are three major galleries that so far this year have brought amazing exhibitions, and the Community Gallery features exhibitions from local elementary, middle, high school, and college students. With upcoming exhibits that focus on local art and architecture, there’s always something interesting around the bend. The museum is open Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thursdays until 8 p.m., and Sundays from noon to 5 p.m. Admission is free, but a $3 donation per person is suggested.
