Babin’s Seafood House: New Orleans Style Seafood in Texas

February 26, 2013 by

The Gulf of Mexico provides a vast amount of delicious seafood to Texas, so it’s not surprising that in recent years a number of high-quality restaurants have opened up to capitalize on that. Babin’s Seafood House was founded to bring classic New Orleans-style seafood to hungry Texans, and they accomplish their mission with remarkable zeal. At the Woodlands location, regulars go crazy for the oysters shucked to order, zesty crawfish, and more. Although nothing is ever going to beat the experience of walking into a real New Orleans restaurant, the staff at Babin’s does their best to try, with great hospitality easing you into your meal. Babin’s is a fine choice if you’ve grown out of Red Lobster and you’re looking for something with a bit more local flavor.

Rudy’s BBQ: Real Texas Barbecue

February 12, 2013 by

When you’re looking for slow-cooked barbecue goodness, you’ve got to come to Rudy’s BBQ! Spring residents are lucky to have a Rudy’s location in their town, because it means that some of the best barbecue around is right at your doorstep to eat in or take out. If you come in and you’re not sure what to order, you can get a sample! The brisket, pork, sausage, chicken, and turkey is all slow cooked to perfection. Meat can be bought separately by the half-pound, perfect for families, or get a sandwich. Try the classic “sause” or the “sissy sause,” both excellent. And you can't beat great sides like creamed corn, cole slaw, or the smoked potato. The desserts are also not to be missed. "Sauses" are available at the country store, and you can also order online!

Old Town Spring: Explore a Town Filled With History

February 5, 2013 by

There’s a lot of history disappearing every day, as developers get rid of the past to accommodate the future. Thankfully, there are still individuals who care about preserving the historic places of America for future generations. Old Town Spring is one such project, and it’s heartening to see how it’s become a social hum for Spring residents. A quaint 19th-century town located near the railroad yards, Spring’s Victorian-style houses have been carefully preserved and changed into retail establishments selling antiques, art, and more—but this is no shopping mall. Instead, it’s a fascinating historic experience that will captivate adults and kids alike. Old Town Spring is open year-round, but for the best value, visit during one of the many events they host, including the Texas Crawfish & Music Festival or Springfest, a yearly celebration of wine and art. Old Town Spring is a fascinating place to while away the hours exploring and learning about America’s past.

Caffe Diem: Seize The Coffee

January 29, 2013 by

For many, coffee is the make or break start of every day, and everyone has his or her favorite blend of coffee and style of drink. Caffe Diem, an independent coffee shop founded by two best friends in the Houston suburbs, has become one of the best places to stop in for that essential cup of java—from freshly brewed to a caffe latte—on the way to work. But this is more than just a Starbucks; the owners work hard to give you more reason to come by, with live music at night; a children’s story hour to give stay at home moms and dads a break for a bit; open mic nights; and more. At night, after coffee hour ends, they serve beer and wine as well. If you’re hungry, Caffe Diem has a number of sweet and savory treats on the menu, including a wide range of freshly made Panini sandwiches that will fill you up quick.

Sip and Savor at Crescent Moon Wine Bar

January 22, 2013 by

If you’re tired of wine bars being small, dark spaces where you can barely fit an after-work party, Crescent Moon will make your day. The newest wine bar to open up in the Woodlands, it’s an expansive, lushly decorated hotspot that expertly blends the upscale and the casual. Enjoy over 300 different wines, presented by a staff that is both informed about their qualities and trained to tell you about them in non-jargony ways. Don’t be fooled by how it looks from the street—like many Texas establishments, Crescent Moon is located within a strip mall shopping center. Once you get inside, you’ll realize that this is the real deal. The full kitchen offers a wide variety of food to pair with your wine, from quality cheese plates to homemade pizza. The bar also hosts many events, from live music (even opera) to Sunday brunch and wine tastings.
