This past week, I was pretty excited to check the fabulous and new ALICE blue off my foodie bucket list. Located in the Heights on 19th Street, this new restaurant is in the former Shade space and opened earlier this summer. From the outside, the designers changed up a few colors here and there, but it looks … Continue reading
The Rice Box is a shiny, sleek glowing jewel of a restaurant. This food truck-turned-restaurant is a modern af addition to the antique shops of 19th Street and Victorian architecture in the Heights.

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!

Houston is a magical … Continue reading
