Brasserie 19 Next door to Hudson House! Has a patio - great spot for a glass of rose Toulouse French bistro with an amazing patio in River Oaks District, lots of great shops & very close to St. Regis Los Tios / El Tiempo (Richmond location) Great tex-mex spots that would be perfect for larger groups If you are looking for somewhere to grab a drink/bite right near the Welcome Party or the St. Regis – we suggest the below: Liberty Kitchen & Oysterette is next door to the St. Regis – great drinks & light bites Lulu’s is the same restaurant group as Armando’s & a few doors down State of Grace is a great spot & one block away from Armando’s *We suggest reservations for all of these*
