It has come to my attention that the people of Houston do not know about a magical thing called Nogsmas. It has also come to my attention that some of the people of Houston do not like eggnog. However, I am choosing to ignore the people who are a part of that second realization and … Continue reading
And here we are Houston in the busiest social month of the year! If you’re like me, your calendar is packed with work events, social functions, reunions with old friends, holiday parties, and tacky sweater occasions. If you’re also like me, you might find yourself hosting one or two extravaganzas as well. One thing that … Continue reading
I’m definitely a salty over sweet kinda person. I’d much rather eat fries than brownies aaaall day. I’m a big fan of the crunchy shoe string fries at Max’s Wine Dive, the crazy mountain of Vietnamese fries at Boheme, the cheese fries (hold the bacon) at Doc’s Motorworks and of course any greasy, messy, late-night … Continue reading
Looking for a new spot to run in Houston? I’m excited to announce that all that messy construction that has taken the Yale and I-10 intersection out of commission for the past year is wrapping up and the new Bayou Greenways trail along White Oak Bayou is nearly finished! By my standards — do I … Continue reading

Their … Continue reading

With the tagline “the most fun you can have on a bike,” the indoor cycling studio on 19th Street is filled with black lights, bumping music, and plenty of sweat inducing moves. I went to … Continue reading
White Linen Night in the Heights is a massive street fair in the historic part of The Heights neighborhood in Houston. WLN is patterned off a New Orleans festival hosted in the French Quarter every year when people wear their best whites to enjoy the summer and view local art. P.S. We’ll definitely be out … Continue reading
Ah Shade. A much needed asset to the crazy Houston heat. An adorable Heights cousin to Canopy and Woodbar. One of my first brunches in Houston. One of my first *real* mimosas–blood orange juice is a total game changer. And one delightful addition to the Houston restaurant scene. I rarely repeat brunch spots. Especially on Sundays with … Continue reading
I love brunch and I love a good deal. Ruggles Green in the Heights gives you both. Filling meals, surprisingly quiet patio nestled at the corner of 11th and Studewood, quick service, no need to tip or split checks because you order at the counter, plenty of healthy and not-so-healthy options. What’s not to love? After … Continue reading
