MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS HOUSTON HELEN LEVITT: IN THE STREET Sept. 13, 2016 — Jan. 2, 2017 Beck Building 5601 Main Street One of most celebrated photographers of the 20th century, Helen Levitt captured candid views of everyday life on the streets of New York City. Helen Levitt: In the Street spans her career from the late 1930s to the mid1980s. The exhibition
september
features b&w and color photographs, as well as a short film by Levitt from the 1940s. A lifelong New Yorker, Levitt (1913–2009) used her camera to tell the stories of the urban characters she encountered. Frequenting workingclass neighborhoods such as the Lower East Side and Spanish Harlem, she documented the theater of life as it played out on stoops and sidewalks. Using a handheld Leica camera
outfitted with a rightangle viewfinder that allowed her to look in one direction but snap photographs in another, Levitt often passed unnoticed by her subjects, capturing unguarded instants of joyful play and meditative melancholy that constitute the mystery and poetry of everyday lives. The exhibition comprises more than 40 works, including three captivating photographs from the
MFAH collection that record the fears and fantasies of children as expressed in their exuberant chalk drawings on city pavement and walls. Also on view is Levitt’s 1948 short film In the Street, a cinematic version of her earlier photographs of children.

Owned by the pickiest pro football Hall of Fame coach turned restaurateur, Shula’s features the Shula Cut ®, Premium Black Angus Beef, the best beef money can buy. “We feature the biggest and best steaks, so it’s fitting to be here in Texas - where everything is bigger,” said Don Shula, who won 347 games during his NFL coaching career. The ambiance of Shula’s evokes a feeling of casual sports elegance. Dark wood floors create a rich backdrop, while a riot of colorful sports memorabilia grace the walls. Even the menus are hand painted on ocial NFL footballs.
Del Frisco’s Grille is located in the vibrant River Oaks area, the heart of Houston’s dining and social scene. Industrial and lush elements create an atmosphere that is stylish, social and relaxed. An energetic bar creates a buzz throughout the restaurant and sets the stage for an exciting dining experience that is unlike any other American grill. The patio provides the perfect perch to catch a glimpse of the action on the corner of Kirby and Westheimer and oers some of the best al fresco dining in Houston. It’s your place to eat with a friend and catch up on the latest or make new friends at the bar.
Bualo Grille features wonderful all-day breakfasts (from tall stacks of pancakes to authentic Tex-Mex) that bring in the crowds to this unpretentious favorite in West University and Briargrove. Bualo Grille also dishes up American fare for lunch and dinner; they’re kid-friendly and homey too, more reasons they’re always busy.

Jack Doyle, aka “The Gorgeous Gael”, was a young man who left Ireland and became a household name as a heavyweight boxing contender, an actor, and a beautiful tenor on both sides of the Atlantic. In honour of his name, Peter Kingston & David Roche (also from Co Cork in Ireland), came together to bring a new concept of an Irish bar to America – a sharper, edgier, brighter design with a strong emphasis on exceptional food, exquisite cocktails, a strong Whiskey oering and a fantastic array of domestic and crafted beers. The Gorgeous Gael represents everything that is truly great about modern Irish entertainment culture – premium customer service, exceptionally creative, top quality food, adventurous, sophisticated drinks and the best musical entertainment in the world. One thing that has not changed is the Irish spirit of hospitality, and the friendship and camaraderie that is unique to the Irish pub environment.
