Labor Day has passed, football season is in full swing and pumpkin spice is once again an acceptable way to take your morning brew. Fall is so close we can almost taste it, and GreenStreet is gearing up to celebrate the season in style. As retailers BCBGMAXAZRIA and Forever 21 stock up for cooler temps and restaurants reveal autumn-inspired specials, the downtown mixed-use destination is loading its Events Calendar with outdoor activities to take full advantage of patio weather.
On Friday, Sept. 26 at 8 p.m., GreenStreet continues a season of Friday Flicks on the Lawn with Romy and Michele's High School Reunion on a 25-foot-wide screen on The Lawn. A classic comedy paired with complimentary popcorn and beverages provided by Zipcar make this perfect for a girls' night out — just BYO blanket or snag a prime viewing spot on a nearby patio. Mark your calendar for the next film in the series: cult classic Ghostbusters on Friday, Oct. 24.

The 6th Annual Barkitecture Houston, benefiting Pup Squad Animal Rescue, takes over GreenStreet on Oct. 17 and 18 with a weekend full of fun, fundraising and Fido. From 5 to 9 p.m. on Friday, October 17, McCormick & Schmick's hosts Yappy Hour on the patio, a pet-lover's dream with live music, raffle prizes and other free entertainment on The Lawn. On Saturday, October 18, from 12 to 5 p.m., the public is invited to browse and bid on one-of-a-kind, custom-built doghouses designed by local artists, designers and architecture firms. The event is free and open to the public — and pets too, of course.
All funds raised at Barkitecture benefit Pup Squad, an organization that rescues orphaned puppies, kittens and nursing litters from the streets and other life-threatening situations and matches them with permanent adoptive homes. The organization hosts adoptions at GreenStreet every Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Downtown foodies can enjoy eclectic lunch hour eats throughout September and October with GreenStreet's Food Truck Program. Some of the city's most popular trucks — The Golden Grill, Ladybird, Reign's, Coreanos and Sumo Dog — serve savory (and sometimes sweet) dishes on weekdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the corner of Main Street and Dallas Street, just a short walk or a Metro stop away from many downtown office buildings. Tables and chairs provided.
Looking for after-work fun? Join GreenStreet for Games on the Green every third Thursday from 5 to 8 p.m. On Thursday, September 18, The Lawn will be transformed into an outdoor adult playground, with giant Jenga, bocce ball, live music and more, plus an extended happy hour at nearby McCormick & Schmick's and an interactive Lucky Strike booth featuring games, giveaways and prizes.
