Even though there are hundreds of amazing restaurants in Houston, couples are just so freaking tired of staring at their S.O. across the table while splitting mozzarella sticks discussing who will get the pasta and who will get the seafood so that they can split halfway through. Let’s mix things up a bit, shall we? … Continue reading

Breakfasting at the New Le Peep
Le Peep is one of those Houston things that us born-and-raised Houstonians take for granted, you know? It’s just always there for a casual breakfast or quick lunch. But an expanding River Oaks District threatened that longstanding Le Peep on Westheimer until it found a new spot just down the street. The new, swankier Le … Continue reading
Yoga, Wine and Dine With Us at The Tasting Room
Yoga and wine are two of my favorite things, which is why it only made sense to rosé all day in celebration of the Lorenza Rose Launch at The Tasting Room in CityCentre. TTR is welcoming a new pink drink to its menu and yolo why not throw a party to celebrate. The winemakers. Lorenza … Continue reading
5 Adventures You Can Only Have at Xochi
One of the things I absolutely LOVE about Houston is that you can dine on dishes from around the world without leaving the 610 Loop. I flew my tastebuds to Oaxaca, Mexico, by way of Xochi in downtown Houston. FYI: This is NOT Tex-Mex. It’s straight up Mex-Mex fancified in the absolute best way. Hugo … Continue reading
All’s Fare at State Fare’s Brunch
I’ve got 99 reasons to suggest State Fare for brunch, but I’ll sum it up with three: Huge portions, tons of flight options and a really cute space.

The adorable eatery Emmaline is a fresh and exciting addition to the Houston food scene. I went to Emmaline’s inaugural brunch service … Continue reading
Where to Drink Now: Winter
Happy holidays! Time to drink? It’s that time of year when Houstonians huddle around fire pits and heaters to hang out with friends — visiting town for the holidays or otherwise — drinking a hot beverage or a cold beer, and we’d like to recommend some places to do that — new or old! Riel … Continue reading

Melange Creperie Has Finally Found a Home in Heights Mercantile
I have been a fan of Melange Creperie from the start. Back in my Midtown days, the allure of crepes would motivate me to drag my hungover soul a few blocks down the road to the corner of Taft and Westminster where I would stand in line in the heat with a steady crowd for … Continue reading
Where’s the Best Pizza in Houston?
October was National Pizza Month, and I took this as my personal mission to eat as much pizza as I possibly could in order to make this list for you. YOU ARE WELCOME. OK, I know this is completely subjective, but these are some of my favorite ‘za spots to enjoy a slice. Grimaldi’s This … Continue reading
