Doshi House Cafe: More Than Your Typical Coffee House

December 11, 2014 by

Doshi House Cafe serves an array of coffee, teas, and vegetarian bites. Regulars at this Houston coffee shop know that it uses only locally roasted Greenway beans and makes its own flavoring syrups in house. Stop by for a quick cup of joe to go, or sit down to savor a foamy cappuccino or cup of hot green tea.

Regulars praise the strong, globally inspired food menu, too, and recommend you pick up some lunch at Doshi House Cafe next time you've got a few minutes to spare. Try the curried vegetable panini, served with muenster on thick-sliced bread, or enjoy a fragrant bowl of coconut Thai soup that comes swimming with rice and greens. The Creole red beans and rice is a house favorite, with its hearty base and spicy broth spooned over the top. Everything at Doshi House is 100 percent vegetarian, too, so you can feel good about getting your RDA of veggies.

I Heart Boba: Taste Boba Tea in Houston

November 13, 2014 by

Boba enthusiasts know that with more than 100 flavor combinations, I Heart Boba offers more variety than many other bubble tea places in northwest Houston. Traditionalists might choose to order a black tea or mocha coffee with boba, but there are plenty of ways to try something more fun, too. Try combining traditional boba pearls with a milky, fruity tea flavor, like strawberry, cantaloupe, or blueberry. Or mix baby boba with one of the unique smoothie-style teas, featuring unusual flavors like avocado, red bean, and taro. If you want to try something other than traditional tapioca pearls, you can substitute a variety of chewy fruit jellies (like mango or green apple) or even egg pudding mixed into your drink.

The shop's atmosphere is modern and dynamic, with dance music and large flat screen televisions, while employees are reportedly friendly and quick to fill your order.

Battlefield Houston: A Tricked-Out Laser Tag Arena

October 9, 2014 by

Don't let its name fool you: Battlefield Houston is actually a place for fun to be had. Proudly billing itself as the largest indoor laser tag center in the country, players have sensors on their heads (no vests) and are tasked with completing specific tactical missions—with the ultimate goal of crushing the opponent, of course!

Unlike your typical course, players encounter ramps, stairs, and other challenges that make the hour-long play both thrilling and exhilarating. The center offers a number of party packages, welcomes walk-ins for open play, and it has a mobile armory, as well. The really adventurous can choose to attend a "lock-in" and spend the night and following morning engaging in a number of planned mini games.

Reservations are recommended at Battlefield Houston, and they can be made online.

Super H Mart: Find Your Favorite Korean Cuisine Staples

September 15, 2014 by

Super H Mart is a popular Korean grocery store serving northwestern Houston. If it's your first time to Super H Mart, be sure to walk around the entire market and familiarize yourself with the large and varied stock.

Here, you'll find an enormous selection of kimchi, half an aisle of different noodle varieties, and everything from roasted seaweed to wild squid. In fact, Super H's seafood department is a particular favorite among market regulars, as it has a large selection of fish so fresh that many of them are still swimming around in tanks until the minute you buy them. Don't forget the wide selection of boxed and packaged foods, either. Pick up some udon or ramen, or purchase a bag of Korean pancake mix to make for your breakfast.

If you have time to sit down, you can get a hot meal in the market's on-site food court, or if you're in a rush, just pick up some Korean staples to prepare at home.

Studio Movie Grill: Dinner and a Movie in Houston

July 29, 2014 by

Smoked ribs and coconut shrimp might not sound like your typical movie theater fare, but they're both on the menu at Studio Movie Grill in Houston. The cinema is part of a chain that combines a time-tested date night itinerary: dinner and a movie. Before you even head to the theater, it's best to reserve your seats online so they'll be waiting for you when you arrive, but you can also reserve them at the box office. Once you get to Studio Movie Grill, grab a drink and appetizer at the bar before your film—the showings are a blend of first-run and indie films.

You should take your seat, which is outfitted with a personal-sized table, about 20 minutes before the film begins so that you can order a meal from your server. The menu evokes a classic American grill, offering plentiful burgers, grilled chicken sandwiches, and pasta and meat entrees. Order as often as you want throughout the movie—your server will come right to you at the press of a button. Enjoy the movie's dramatic arc with a bowl of ice cream and coffee, and then wait for your bill—it'll come to you before the closing credits so that you can settle up before heading back home to 2411 Washington!
