Thanks to everyone who came out for the inaugural Design Fair at Lawndale Art Center this year!
For today’s video, studio resident, Nick Meriwether, has created a not-to-be-topped invitation to Lawndale Artist Studio Program Exhibition opening this weekend. The invitation alone should make you want to go!
I grew up down the street from the original Phoenicia on the west side and am happy to see this local business thriving!
From the YouTube page:
Meet Zohrab Bob Tcholakian and his wife Arpi. They are the founders of Phoenicia Specialty Foods. Their deli and grocery store have long been favorites of Houston foodies craving hard-to-find ingredients and delectable international dishes.
Phoenicia will open a one-of-a-kind 28,000-square-foot international gourmet food market on the ground floor of One Park Place in December of this year. This development simultaneously brings a full-service grocery, an inviting in-store cafe and the city’s favorite shawarma to the heart of downtown Houston. One Park Place is the first newly constructed luxury residential/retail development to be built downtown in several decades and has all the signs of becoming a major “downtown destination.”
