EaDo’s is a new spot that's quickly become known for its specialty cocktails, like the Mexican martini and spiked blueberry lemonade made from fresh squeezed juice. Those looking for drinks other than cocktails can turn to a menu of craft beers available in draft and bottled options. If you often miss out on happy hour because of work, you won't have that problem anymore — EaDo's offers happy hour every day until 7 p.m. and all day on Sunday. It's open until 2 a.m. nightly as well.

You can pair your drinks with food, too. The menu has a Tex-Mex vibe, offering dishes like street tacos, ribs, and brisket, plus a variety of smaller sharing plates for easy bar snacking, like chips, dips, and queso.

Throughout the restaurant, you will find art installations created by a number of local artists. Make the two-mile trip from Siena at Memorial Heights and check it out for yourself!

Houston parents who are in the know have been eagerly awaiting the debut of the Barbara Fish Daniel Nature Play Area and Picnic Pavilion, and it's finally here. This natural playground is now open for business, and your little ones will probably love exploring its three-story tree house and boat deck, complete with climbing net, and zooming down the 33-foot slide. The perfect time to do just that? The 9th Annual KBR Kids Day on Buffalo Bayou, an event during which the new play area is just one attraction.

The fair at Buffalo Bayou Park, less than a mile from Siena at Memorial Heights, will bring together 15 different local nonprofits to entertain your little ones, so there will be plenty to see and do. You can go for a ride on the Buffalo Bayou Partnership's pontoon boat, fittingly named the Spirit of the Bayou, or rent a paddleboat and head out on the water yourself. You can also just enjoy the live music and grub from food trucks at KBR Kids Day.

When was the last time you took time to enjoy art? If it's been too long, or even if it hasn't, make a point to attend the Bayou City Art Festival this weekend. Downtown Houston will be transformed into a sprawling art gallery with works created by more than 350 artists from all over the world.

The event is just 10 minutes from Siena at Memorial Heights, giving you a convenient opportunity to gaze at paintings and sculptures, 3D art, jewelry, photography, mixed media, and works in other mediums that will be on display, and it should come as no surprise that this event is one of the top 10 outdoor fine arts festivals in the nation. In addition to art, you'll also find food and entertainment galore!

Admission is $17 for adults and $5 for children ages 5-12.
