We’re a couple months into “winter,” and I think we can all agree that (aside from some uncharacteristic freezes) this is barely winter. We are getting, interchangeably, downpouring dreary days with beautiful 70-degree sunny days. I’ll totally take it. Given that these are the conditions, here are some patio-friendly (for the most part) bars that … Continue reading
Walking around the River Oaks District feels like you’re not in Houston anymore—especially during the holiday season. There’s no hustle and bustle like a mall, but designer brands surround you.

On Monday, I walked into Max’s Wine Dive on Washington, and I realized this ain’t no ordinary wine dinner that I was used to. The entire restaurant was booming with all the staff in costume and Mardi Gras beads everywhere. This wasn’t Max’s Wine Dive — this was New Orleans. (Ahem, the Take Me Back … Continue reading
Have you noticed the latest change in Midtown? Hint: it’s big, blue and comes with a vintage Volkswagen. Don’t know what I’m getting at because you haven’t been to Midtown since Turtle Races last fall? (Same.) WELL….Cook and Collins is gone and has been reincarnated as Stoked Tacos & Tequila! Stoked is taking Mexican street food and bringing it … Continue reading
