It'd be easy to walk right by Last Concert Cafe. The eatery is nothing more than a simple stucco structure with a red door. There's no sign out front for guidance, and you'll have to knock to be let in as the door is always locked. But if you're serious about Mexican food, a meal […]
A glossy wooden bar, glimmering chandeliers, and chic circular leather booths culminate in a very specific vibe at Beny's Restaurant; a 1920s-era lounge where people come to enjoy a good cocktail and good conversation. That old school vibe translates well to present day, which is why Benjy's is such a popular spot to grab a […]
Salmon belly with ikura. Eel with ginger and orange. Spicy scallop and avocado. These are just a few of the inventive combinations featured on Uchi's sushi and sashimi menu. Although they pair vastly different flavors, each seafood creation has one thing in common: it showcases some of the freshest seafood on the market in Houston. […]
Instead of sending a "thinking of you" text or a thank you card, Cookies by Design allows its customers to get a bit more creative. Its "florists" swap out flowers for cookies, arranging bouquets of sweets instead of blooms. The cookie bouquets arrive right at the doorstep of your special recipient, whether they live a […]
While many stick to the treadmill or elliptical when they go to the gym, figuring that the point of exercise is just to burn calories, recent workout trends have begun to emphasize the importance of strength training. Although it may not torch as many calories as an hour on the elliptical, strength training at the […]
Outdoor concerts. Movies screened in the fresh air. Food and cultural festivals. They're all on the agenda at Discovery Green during the summer season. Located just a stone's throw away from 3800 Main, this Houston park really comes to life June through August. But with such beautiful weather throughout the year in Texas, there's rarely […]
As you might be able to surmise just from the spelling of its name, The Breakfast Klub does things a little bit differently. It starts with eliminating the letter "c" from its menu (hence the koffee and katfish), and carries over into kustomer service. Founder Marcus Davis knows a thing or two about that thanks […]
If you have a hands-on learner at home—and at a certain age, what child isn't?—then play a visit to the Children's Museum of Houston. As its name indicates, the museum is geared specifically toward pint-sized learners. That means every colorful exhibit invites kids to touch, not like a stuffy history museum. Make the short drive […]
Their very name seems to indicate that "throw pillows" are more of an afterthought than a conscious design decision—you just throw them on the couch, right? Maybe if you're not concerned with the overall aesthetic of your 3800 Main apartment. If you do care about your home's style, however, then throw pillows require a bit […]
Rain or shine, the Houston Zoo is always open. Even when raindrops start to pitter and patter on your roof, the indoor animal houses offer safe haven for you and your family. Ogle the colorful, winged critters inside the Tropical Bird House or check out the many sea turtles, octopus, and jellyfish at the Kipp […]
