Driving down Washington Ave. the other week, I noticed some new signage on one of the strip centers near Shepherd. It appeared that a new spot called Kitchen 713 was due to open, and after a quick check on Instagram (obvi the most reliable source of information on this), confirmed that I had a new … Continue reading
On Monday, I walked into Max’s Wine Dive on Washington, and I realized this ain’t no ordinary wine dinner that I was used to. The entire restaurant was booming with all the staff in costume and Mardi Gras beads everywhere. This wasn’t Max’s Wine Dive — this was New Orleans. (Ahem, the Take Me Back … Continue reading
J. Black’s Feel Good Kitchen and Lounge is the place to be on a Sunday afternoon. I’m not going to lie, I was a little hesitant to try out this place initially because it looked kind of sports bar-y from the outside and I expected them to have sticky gross bar stool booths and a subpar … Continue reading
It is so refreshing to go to a really good yoga class. One where you mesh so well with the other students, the teacher gets you, the music is on point, and your body transitions from pose to pose flawlessly. I’ve been doing yoga in Houston for a while, and because of where I lived I tended … Continue reading
It was two of my friends’ birthdays (twins, btw) and our friends group was in crunch time: T-1 week before their big 2-5. We had to go big or go home.

It’s cozy with wood paneling, a friendly bar, plenty of benches for seating and with the … Continue reading
Y’all. I think I have found the best breakfast tacos in Houston. Bold statement. I know. But I stand by it. Laredo Taqueria on Washington Ave. has the best tacos ever. You know you’re about to eat some dang good food when you see the line is literally out the door and wrapping around the … Continue reading
While preparing for the Houston Margarita Festival this weekend, you might as well start the week off right with a celebratory marg for surviving Halloween and/or another day of work. The place to go? W Grill. Also fondly referred to as “the drive-thru margarita place.” Located on the corner of Durham and Washington, W Grill is a … Continue reading
Last weekend, #BrunchKlub headed out to Urban Eats for some delightful brunch treats. Located on Washington Ave, Urban Eats is a real treat on the Houston brunch scene. It just opened up last year (check out Natalie’s review on it for dinner), so if you head over now you can still be considered a trend … Continue reading
This past weekend post brunch, the crew and I decided to walk off the massive amounts of carbs, eggs, and mimosas that we had just consumed and spent the rest of the afternoon outdoors at the Cigna Sunday Streets on Washington Ave. Cigna Sunday Streets is an initiative by “Go Healthy Houston” for people to get physically … Continue reading
