I don’t have a pup to call my own — we gals at It’s Not Hou are cat ladies — but I am a proud dog aunt and love finding spots for me, my friends, and their furry pals a place where we can all hang. A good dog-friendly spot is more than just an … Continue reading
It’s been a minute since we’ve done a “Where to Drink Now” post, but we back with a vengeance. Kanola Hi, this spot is shared dring central! All the punch bowls and all the silly straws. They are, as to be expected, extremely sweet. So, proceed with caution. There’s one for 2-3 people for $24 … Continue reading
Once upon a time, I was a Cinco de Mayo noob and didn’t realize how serious of an event this is.

Guess what, Houston! We have our own little winery in town that’s actually not so little at all. Nice Winery — off Beltway 8 in Northwest Houston — is like visiting wine country without leaving Houston’s city limits. Go to buy a bottle, try a tasting or one of their many events.
