Berg Hospitality is uniting with Ancorian to bring two new restaurants to W. 11th in the Heights. Owner and founder Benjamin Berg is teaming up with the Houston-based Ancorian, a regional investment and development company, to open Trattoria Sofia, an Italian restaurant at 911 W. 11th in the space formerly occupied by Presidio, which closed in October 2018. Berg is completely remodeling the existing 2,500 square feet with all-new interiors, lighting and furnishings. The restaurateur is also adding an outdoor patio and bar with landscaping meant to evoke a feeling of a lost garden. Named after his firstborn daughter, Trattoria Sofia is slated to open in May 2021.

5 hot Houston restaurants to let the good times roll for Mardi Gras
Courtesy of Revelry on Richmond Like every other special occasion over the last year, Mardi Gras won t feel familiar in 2021. Parades in New Orleans and Galveston have been cancelled. Thankfully, Houston bars and restaurants have ways for people to celebrate without being around thousands of strangers in crowded streets. Festivities include live music, crawfish, and plenty of boozy beverages. Celebrate Fat Tuesday at the venerable Creole restaurant. In addition to a three-course, $65 menu, Brennan s will feature live music by Vincent Trio Jazz Band and Sin City Drag, beads, and a balloon display for photos. Call 713-522-9711 for reservations.

HOUSTON, Texas Did you know that actor Brian Baumgartner is the highest-earning personality on the celebrity app Cameo? Best known for portraying Kevin from Accounting, the actor made over $1 million via the app in 2020, according to a recent interview with Cameo CEO Steven Galanis published by the New York Times.
Baumgartner s success helps explain why a pop-up bar inspired by The Office is coming to downtown Houston. Dunder Mupplen will occupy 711 Main St. from January 15-30.
Presented by Plethora/Four44 Hospitality Group Inc, the creators of last year s Harry Potter-themed Muggle-less Bar, Dunder Mupplen will offer Office super-fans a range of experiences including Instagram-worthy photo opportunities, food and drinks inspired by the show, and activities such as trivia and costume contests.
