Barcelona felt instantly different from Madrid. Like a whole different country (which it basically is, Catalonia). And some described the difference in a very Texas way: Madrid is Dallas, and Barcelona is Austin. I HATE this description bc I love Madrid and would not compare it to Dallas, ew. Just kidding. But, I still … 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
This past weekend, I had the ultimate Sunday Funday: TWO BRUNCHES. I believe it’s what the young people call heaven. Just like all good things, it took preparation. My strategy was as follows: Get hungry. Starve even! Pick casual spots (maybe with an a la carte menu). Skip the cocktails (pricy and saves calories). Keep … Continue reading
There are very few areas in Houston where you can spend an entire day in. I mean, park the car and walk around and be entertained for, like, 10 hours. Maybe you could do that in the Galleria area, but that would be a LOT of shopping and eating. Downtown too, but that would be … Continue reading
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
If you’re just going to Max’s Wine Dive for brunch or Mac & Cheese, you’t making a mistake. Well, like, those are great calls, but hi, dinner is a meal you need to try with Max’s. And, since it’s officially spring, Max’s Wine Dive on Fairview is rolling out it’s spring menu. Here are my favorites: … Continue reading
Houston’s brunch game continues to be strong. Seriously, show me a new trendy restaurant that DOESN’T have a brunch menu (or plans to roll one out). Brunching is all the rage, and we’re thankful for that, since it provides us ENDLESS restaurants to try each week. Proof. Even though it seems like everyone spends their Sundays … Continue reading
How’s the new year’s resolutions going, huh? We’re entering the second month of 2016, which was like Narnia to you as a kid. Seriously, where does the time go?! Well, our resolutions involved mind and body, but we also care for our tastes buds. Some to-dos for you might be some of our favorites. Ben … Continue reading
Midtown isn’t necessarily known for food, unless you’re talking about hitting the Kimchi fries food truck outside of PubFiction after a night Howling at the Moon. But, I actually visit Midtown more now for food than Vodka Sodas. Enter: Izakaya, which claims to be Houston’s only Japanese gastropub, and honestly I haven’t seen anything else … Continue reading
Peli Peli might be the Galleria’s best kept secret (there’s actually two locations, but the other is, like, far). Have you heard of it? If not, don’t feel bad. It looks like a tiny lil shop or something on the first floor near Saks and Forever 21. But actually it’s a pretty big, kinda upscale … Continue reading
