“As the transformation of Post Oak Boulevard nears completion, Uptown Dine Around is a salute to our restaurateurs, cuisine and diners and a celebration of the delicious fare that makes the area a culinary hotspot,” said John Breeding, President of Uptown Houston District.
Uptown Dine Around restaurants will offer two- or three-course, prix-fixe dinner menus, featuring signature dishes and delectable desserts for guests to enjoy at a special rate of $35 or $45 per person. Prix-fixe lunch menus will range from $15 to $30 per person at select restaurants.
Honoring the memory of Barbara Bush, the Uptown Dine Around will support her unwavering commitment to literacy through the Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation and its mission to improve the quality of life for Houstonians of all ages through the power of reading. Uptown Houston District will make a $10,000 donation to the Foundation on behalf of all restaurants participating in the Dine Around.
“We are beyond thankful to Uptown and the many restaurants supporting the second annual Dine Around,” said Julie Baker Finck, Ph.D., President of the Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation. “President George H. W. and First Lady Barbara Bush were frequent diners of many of the participating restaurants, so we are especially pleased that they have teamed up with Uptown Houston District to raise awareness and commit funds in support of her indelible literacy legacy.”
Additionally, many restaurants will participate in “Round up for Reading” during the month of June, offering customers the opportunity to round up their bill to the next dollar amount, with the proceeds given to the Foundation.
