THE BARNES & NOBLE in Town & Country Village has been closed since February 2024, but on Wednesday, Jan. 29, it reopens with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and book-signing.
During the renovation, the building was taken down to the studs, and it now showcases a sleek design that emphasizes books and the joys and comforts of reading; it will still also sell toys, games and gifts, and tout a remodeled B&N Café. The layout is similar to that of other recent Barnes & Noble openings, and the bookseller's new look has been well received across the country since 2022.
"We are thrilled to welcome our customers back into this beautifully redesigned Town & Country Barnes & Noble,” said CEO James Daunt in a statement. “We thank our loyal customers for their patience during the rebuilding and also thank our bookselling team for the momentous work they have undertaken. There is a particular pleasure to bring such an ambitious new bookstore back to a community in which Barnes & Noble has for so long been embedded.”
The grand opening (Jan. 29 at 10am) is hosted by bestselling Houston-based fantasy author Katherine Quinn, who will sign copies of her books, including the newly released To Shatter the Night, book two of The Mistlands Duology.
“I am so excited, humbled and honored to be bringing our new format Barnes & Noble store back into the Memorial community,” said Store Manager René DeLaPortilla. “We are so happy to be a part of the fabric of this area again.”
BY NOW, MOST of us are bracing for whatever Mother Nature decides to bring next week, be it snow, ice, or just a lot of bad traffic.
At Tony's, the crew is planning a little fun on Friday and Saturday nights, inspired by the potential "snow day." Sponsored by Kaviari, the "unforgettable alpine evening" includes a best-dressed contest and live music by Latin crooner Miguel Delabarca. Among the menu items to ensure guests stay cozy is what might be the best chili you've ever had ($15), hot toddies for just $5 a pop, and a blood orange "dreamsicle" baked Alaska ($45).
Each night, a group of ski-bunny-clad guests will be crowned Best Dressed Table, winning Kaviari Prestige Oscietra Caviar (1oz), a bottle of Vve Forny & Fils Blanc de Blanc 1er Cru, and the aforementioned baked Alaska, on the house. Winners will be announced at 8:30pm on both Friday and Saturday.
