Former Bernadine’s and Hunky Dory locations have a new tenant
T
he news of what’s to come with the former Hunky Dory/Bernadine’s building, both a former Treadsack Restaurant group restaurant, must have been on my mind in the last couple of weeks as I made a mistake on reporting the news for Hughie’s Heights. In the Saturday, Aug. 26 edition it was reported that the new Hughie’s Heights moved into the former Hunky Dory building off of North Main. This was incorrect; Hughie’s Heights moved into the former Foreign Correspondents building, also a former Treadsack Restaurant group restaurant, located at 4725 N. Main. Hughie’s Heights has done considerable work on the former Foreign Correspondents building to make it their own and the restaurant is now open. Foreign Correspondents closed late in 2016; Hunky Dory and Bernadines following suit and closing earlier this year. Who would come to scoop up their prime Heights real estate was the question many asked.

We have our answer for the former Foreign Correspondents building, and now we have the news for the former
Photo by Christina Martinez The Treadsack Restaurant group restaurants Bernadine’s and Hunky Dory closed earlier this year, leaving the restaurants and property vacant at 1801 N. Shepherd. The owner of Houston’s State of Grace will now be bringing his Tex-Mex concept, Superica, to the 1801 N. Shepherd location in the Heights.
Hunky Dory and Bernadines buidling – State of Grace owner, Ford Fry, has made it official that he’ll be bringing a Tex-Mex restaurant called Superica, a casual seafoodinspired restaurant, in the former Hunky Dory and Bernadine’s locations. “Whenever we look at a location, it’s always what do we feel like the neighborhood could use,� Fry told CultureMap. “Some people
would say Houston could use more Tex-Mex like another mosquito, but I think it’s on another level. That’s the only way we’d bring it to Texas. Hopefully, we can perform on that other level than what’s out there.� Superica came to life in 2015, currenly operating two locations of the restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia, with another coming soon in 2018 to North Carolina. The Heights location of Superica is also slated to open in 2018. The Tex-Mex restaurant will occupy the Bernadine’s side of the property. Fry has plans to run a sister concept in the Hunky Dory side of the property, saying his inspiration for this restaurant comes from childhood trips to San Jancinto Inn, where he enjoyed things like raw oysters, cold shrimp and fried chicken. Fry will be bringing Superica and sister concept to 1801 N. Shepherd Dr. Email christina@theleadernews.com

Hearts in Texas are big, only challenged by the Louisiana Cajun Navy. Being in the art world, my radar has been tuned into what was been happening here. Artists live all over this great city and the reports of loss started immediately and soon after the rescues, cleanup, call for donations, fundraisers and benefits followed. Here’s a rundown of what’s out there if you’d like to contribute via the arts communities. It’s overwhelming to look out there and see such devastation. At First Saturday Arts Market, many of the artists had special art designated for relief from sales. Others donated a percentage of all sales. Artists at the Second Saturday Open Studios will do the same, plus donation boxes will be out too. Concert this Friday, Sept. 8 at 7 p.m., 3400 Main St. All money from tickets goes toward Harvey relief. The three presenting organizations are donating their services.
