Fitzgerald’s in the Heights neighborhood of Houston is a live music venue offering “live and loud” performances since 1977. Located just over a mile from Siena at Memorial Heights, live music is just a five-minute trip away at the place that many locals refer to as “The Fitz."

There are live performances at Fitzgerald’s most nights of the week. The venue has two fully equipped stages in addition to fully stocked bars, so multiple acts can perform at Fitzgerald’s on the same night. Some of the most notable musical acts of prior decades have performed on Fitzgerald’s stage, including Stevie Ray Vaughan, ZZ Top, Etta James, Sonic Youth, and James Brown. Tickets to shows can be bought on the Fitzgerald’s website, where there is also a full schedule of upcoming performances. Fitzgerald’s also hosts open mic nights for local, upcoming artists.

Just a mile from Siena and Memorial Heights, FotoFest International is an effort and platform for museum-quality photography exhibitions to be showcased. FotoFest began in 1983 to promote this type of artwork and has since worked to provide exhibitions on artists from all over the world for the local community to see.

Each year, FotoFest brings a varying program of art exhibitions exploring different concepts to the Houston community. Programs occur at different galleries throughout the city and touch on different social issues through the use of art. As part of the 2016 Biennial, Changing Circumstances: Looking at the Future of the Planet included mixed media and educational programs that explore humanity’s relationship with the changing planet.

Whether you prefer to relax with a mug of hot tea or a chilled mimosa in hand, Rumor Has It Day Spa can accommodate. The Houston spa doles out complimentary drinks to its guests as soon as they arrive including tea, mimosas, and glasses of wine. Patrons seem to appreciate that Rumor Has It's staff go out of their way to really pamper them, which is why they keep coming back time and time again.

Of course, the large slate of spa services doesn't hurt, either. Rumor Has It offers both standard and lavish mani-pedis, of course, but you can also head to the day spa for a luxurious massage or a decadent facial. Add aromatherapy to your massage to leave even more relaxed. You can also rely on Rumor Has It for beautifying services such as waxing and eyelash extensions.
