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 have this weird obsession with 19th Street in the Heights. Despite being just a few miles from Downtown Houston, the Heights are such an oasis for me from the bustling big city. I love the huge overgrown trees, running trails that wind through bungalows dating back to the turn of the century, and the … Continue reading

At the moment, chairs and couches don’t make sense right now because my body is aching in some interesting ways. I consider myself a pretty fit person — I teach yoga, I survived a month of Pure … 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.

The brunch menu … Continue reading
