Welcome to COMMUNE. We're adding experiences daily so please be sure to check back for more exciting opportunities to visit our oasis. Outside of our weeklong VIP experiences, all experiences are sold individually.
The COMMUNE Street Market runs Wednesday to Sunday during both weeks from August 22nd until September 4th. Each night will be a new experience with a new group of chefs, totally different menus, and different thematic elements using our lighting design. Once purchased, you can expect a follow up email 2 weeks in advance of your visit with additional details on what to expect before arrival.
Thank you and we can't wait to share our cathartic experience with the guests of Houston.

EmbraceRace Collaborative Dinner
Danny Lee and a group of all star chefs from across the US will collaborate on a 8 course menu (with surprise courses and guests) with wine included. Net proceeds will benefit EmbraceRace. From EmbraceRace: In order to create a manageable and useful set of resources for you, here we consider "racialized violence" only its overt forms, including but not limited to widespread police brutality against Black, Brown and Native communities, White nationalism and hate crimes, and verbal and physical assaults against Muslim Americans and Asian Americans. You'll also find insights about how you can "put on your own mask first," and why you must; how to be an effective ally or accomplice to others under duress; and especially how to help children push back against racialized violence.
The Mentors:
Danny Lee | Anju / Mandu / ChiKo | Washington, DC
Deuki Hong | Sunday Hospitality | San Francisco, CA
Lucas Sin | Nice Day | New York, NY
Tae Strain | Unaffiliated | Washington, DC
Tara Monsod | Animae | San Diego, CA
Justin Yu | Theodore Rex | Houston, TX
