Happy Fall! Now, let’s drink some beer. Oktoberfest is a huge two-week festival in Germany, but just because that’s more than 5,000 miles away, doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate it in Houston. Houston beer is amazing and many breweries do their own celebrations. Celebrating the national month of beer is pretty easy. Here are the … Continue reading
A Houston beer at a Houston Astros game/game watch is pretty much the epitome of a good time — especially lately! And Circa Real Estate definitely knows that, which is why, and their latest blogger event, they combined the two at one of their gorgeous Heights listings for the ultimate evening of food, fun and … Continue reading
I have three priorities when it comes to evaluating and picking a happy hour. 1. There’s gotta be food on the menu. Yes, I love drinks and the drink-only happy hour works at some already cheap bars and restaurants, but wherever I go, it’s gotta have something for me to nibble on. 2. It has … Continue reading
We’ll never get over how cute Bebidas in River Oaks is. The juice and smoothie spot is a sister to some Houston favorites, like Adair Kitchen and Eloise Nichols. Spoiler: It’s just as cute as those other places. Wait, cuter? Cuter. Grab a juice and prepare to Instagram. Bebidas is in River Oaks at Westheimer … Continue reading
I’m at that age, y’all. That age where I go to a lot of weddings. I’ve already been to several, and I have two super special ones coming up this year. While it’s safe to say I’m quite far from any altar, I’ve planned a few bachelorettes and have searched “wedding venues in Houston” a … Continue reading
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
September slipped right past us, so to make up for it, we are doubling down. Basically, Anastasia and I both have been traveling a lot lately (proof). But, we wanted to keep you in the loop on what’s happening locally. Whether it’s a new spot, or just new to us, here are the 10 things … Continue reading
So, if you’re like me, you probably forgot Houston even had a Hard Rock Cafe. No offense to Hard Rock, but it feels so touristy to me that I never go! My mistake. Can’t miss American cuisine, large drinks and a good playlist, especially when you’re dining next to ZZ Top….. memorabilia. I went … Continue reading
Starbucks rolled out its Blonde roast coffee who knows how long ago… a couple years? But the latest to its menu are these two Blonde babes: The Iced Blonde Sparkling Americano and The Iced Blonde Doubleshot. Pause. What is blonde coffee? Great question. Coffee beans, like most natural things, start out green… until you roast them (hence: … Continue reading
Nope. Literally that’s what I thought when I decided to do the “NYC in 24 hours” thing. IMPOSSIBLE. I lived there for two months for a summer program at NYU, and there are STILL things I wish I did. I think I’ll give you options, for an either-or experience. Alas, here I go. I’ll ATTEMPT … Continue reading
