Do you have a bottle of wine at home that’s just a tad too nice to enjoy on your couch while watching reality TV show reruns in your PJs? Yes? Well then do that bottle of wine some justice and bring it on over to Café Pita. Nothing says I’m classy and cultured like enjoying some … 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
Ah yes, ’tis the season to get tipsy and look at the best Christmas lights in Houston. Even though we’ll likely have an unseasonably warm December this year (like usual), there’s really no one stopping you from spiking that hot chocolate and indulging in that mulled wine while perusing through some of the finest (read: extravagant) … Continue reading
Is Houston going to rain on your parade this weekend? Don’t let it ruin your Sunday Fundays and Girls Night Outs.Let’s talk plan Bs for when the heavens open up… again. 1. The Galleria. Pros: Underground parking—leave those umbrellas at home, tons and tons of food, ice skating, hair cuts, and duh shopping. Cons: … Continue reading
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).

For those of you who took Spanish as second language in high school, prix fixe (prounounced “prefix”) means that there are a … Continue reading
Dish Society. So basically, Dish Society should be on every Houstonian’s bucket list. It’s hip and cute and has that whole farm to table thing going for them. I went there for dinner a few months ago and it changed the way I thought about mac and cheese–cauliflower and Brussels sprouts baked on top–yes please. Still … Continue reading
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
The Brunch Klub and I tried to be all hip and cool and chic and whatever and try out the new texmex restaurant Añejo located in Uptown Park. The restaurant itself opened in late March and we were there on April 12 for its first day of brunch. Now, if you have never been to … Continue reading
Located in the fancy-smancy Blvd Place just north of the Galleria, True Food Kitchen is a vegetarian haven. The entire restaurant is based on this “anti-inflammatory pyramid” and the research and work of Dr. Andrew Weil–aka he recommends to eat less meat. So shocker, the menu is super vegetarian friendly and thus I’m in love … Continue reading
