The coolest thing just opened in the HOU, guys. It’s only the 5th location in the WORLD of the UK-based Rooftop Cinema Club, so there’s a lot you might not know about how this thing works, but here I am to tell ya. It’s in Uptown I think the plan for this fun rooftop movie … Continue reading

Where to Drink Now: Fall
The temperature dropped 20 degrees and we felt it. We popped right up like gophers and hauled out our boots, sweaters and scarves. We headed to Starbucks: cinnamon, nutmeg, PUMPKIN EVERYTHING. It’s fall (for now) in Houston, and that means one thing to me: Perfect, sweat-free patio weather for alcohol consumption. (OK, it means more … Continue reading
Bosscat’s Boozy Brunch is Boss
Ever since I had my first bite at Bosscat, I’ve been craving its brunch menu. But, as you might have noticed, we haven’t brunched in a while. I know. I’m so sorry. Let it be known that I am the most upset about this. Oh how I’ve missed mimosas and runny eggs. But the brunch … Continue reading
PALOMA: The Nail Salon Houston’s Been Waiting For
PALOMA 11700 Post Oak Blvd. Suite 2-150 For a while there, I was a big participant in the “Treat Yo’Self” revolution. Once I made a steady income, getting mani-pedis was a monthly must. It was a Saturday Girls’ Day thing or literally a my-hands-look-awful-SOS need. Although I’ve pretty recently cut back (I’ve probably gotten 3ish … Continue reading

Simple restaurant. Yet, very true. The deets: Fountain View Cafe is definitely a no frills breakfast and lunch place. You … Continue reading
Lumbersexual Brunch @ North Italia
New favorite brunch place: North Italia. The food is divine. And cheap. And homemade. And delicious. All of the stars are awarded to North Italia. I ordered the Strozzapreti (without the chicken). I normally get something breakfast-y at brunch, but I cannot turn down homemade pasta. OMG YUM. It was a rich, filling dish with a … Continue reading
Houston Restaurant Week: Crab Adventures at Ouisie’s Brunch
Ah yes, the glorious time of the year that is Houston Restaurant Weeks where you get to try all sorts of fun restaurants that you normally wouldn’t because of the prix fixe menus. For those of you who took Spanish as second language in high school, prix fixe (prounounced “prefix”) means that there are a … Continue reading
#BrunchKlub Has a Bite of Bite @ Latin Bites
Mmmm culture. Love it in food. Get it at Latin Bites. Self-described as a Peruvian restaurant, the cuisine at Latin Bites ventures all over South America with contemporary takes on classic dishes and transforms them into a tapas-esque entrees. Small plates. For those of us who aren’t entirely familiar with all of the typical dishes in the … Continue reading
I’m OK with Chocolate and Wine
I love networking. Maybe this is my life, as formed by #jschool (journalism, for the non-journos), but it feels crucial to existence. All sorts of things come from networking: Story ideas, connections to great companies/potential job prospects, and, TG, friends! Gotta love it. So, when I heard of one of these “networking events” through my … Continue reading
