Two New Happy Hours to Kick Off the Weekend

Two New Happy Hours to Kick Off the Weekend

Raspberry Lychee Martini at Musaafer

FINISH THE WEEK strong and hit the hopping new happy hours at two glam Galleria-area restaurants.


Musaafer — the luxe, 10,000-square-foot Indian spot in the mall's still-new "jewel box" wing, from restaurateurs Mithu and Shammi Malik — has rolled out a new specialty menu, available on weekdays from 5pm-6:30pm. Find deals on signature cocktails (Raspberry Lychee martini, anyone?) and bottles of wine, and take a culinary journey through India's 29 states via happy-hour plates like coriander prawns and chana palak sliders.

Down the street at La Table, the two-level French affair that reopened just before the holidays, score discounted drinks from 5pm-7pm Tuesdays through Thursdays — or hold out for reverse happy hour on Friday and Saturdays from 8pm-11pm. Both timeframes boast $10 G&Ts, Provence Margaritas (with lavender syrup and crème de violette) and chocolate martinis; select beers are $4 and glasses of wine are $10.

We'll drink to that!

With Expertise in Blondes, Extensions and More, the Janelle Alexis Team Is a Go-To Salon

YOU CAN'T LIMIT Janelle to one title – Hairdresser. Her career and business has been established and built on a strong foundation. Using her two business degrees + one more in-process, this enables Janelle and the team to deliver not only a customer-focused experience, but a foundationally solid business. There is much more than meets the eye, and in sharing a little bit about Janelle, she was not only an international hair extension educator for over 14 years, but brings extensive expertise to blondes. She rounds this out with her previously launched namesake cosmetic line, which is a perfect complement to her belief that “Beauty is our Business”.

The Camino Huichol over the Wet Deck

VERDANT, WINDING BRANCHES arch up and over a pathway as a soundtrack of herons and chachalacas (and the occasional monkey) plays overhead. Concrete rectangles artfully jut up through the green, painted in rays of sunlight. Eventually, the path leads down to the beach, where the streaks of sun create a cinematic moment: A slim, tan couple emerges from the ocean with their surfboards in hand and their dogs at their heels, the scent of the Pacific lingering in the thick, humid air.
