Y’all. I have found my new love. My new taco love. My new taco love can be found at an adorable little joint called Velvet Taco. It’s a super hipster and quirky place with exposed ceiling and neon accents and saws turned into art pieces decorating the walls. Located on Washington Ave, it’s (kinda) walking … Continue reading

There is a place in Midtown that is particularly whimsical. There are no sports bars or frat boys in sight. Instead there are fairy lights, outdoor patios, thrift shops, boutiques, and live music playing nightly. Nestled in this unique block of Houston culture that hugs Main Street at the Ensemble/HCC Metro Rail stop, one finds Sparrow Bar … Continue reading
I’m a health nut. I swim, I run, I teach yoga. I’ve been a strict vegetarian for over nine years. 80% of the food I purchase is fruits and veggies (the other 20% is pasta and wine-no judgment).

I’ve been driving down Holcombe Boulevard in the West U area pretty often since I’ve moved to Houston, and I have to be honest: I’ve always wondered about that restaurant with the giant cow outline built into the roof…c’mon, I know you know what I’m talking about! Last week, I finally got to go check it … Continue reading
