Official Houston thread that isn't on the Texas Board

That's ridiculous

 

They’re definitely cancelling it. 100’s of injuries and 8 deaths. 11 people went into cardiac arrest including a 10 yr old from the trauma. They had to set up a field hospital and are declaring it a tragedy.

I’m just now seeing this. There’s video of medics trying to revive two kids right beside each other. People on top of the ambulance carts while they are trying to bring unconscious people to the med tents. Wow. Fuck that.

 

There’s no way they let them have a day 2. It’s that limited entry bs.

 

This line to get into Tame Impala is all the way out to the highway. Fuck.

 

J Prince kidnapped Kanye and took his add to the Rothko haha

 

Tame Impala is amazing. At Ravens Tower

 

Can confirm. Was an awesome show

 

Should have bought me a beer

 

Going to see Chvrches tonight. I’m tired from last night. What am I doing.

 

Tame Impala and Chvrches? What is this 2011?

 

My beards better but I’m fatter and can’t pull of that outfit. I’m at Ravens Tower drinking. I love 2011.

 

There’s like no one here

 

You are at a chvrches concert in 2021

 

Haha right you are. I figured with them being on the lawn they sold a lot of tickets. They have a new album out etc.

 

This opening act is good

 

Who is it?

 

Donna Missal. She covered Green Plastic Trees. Solid show.


Chvrches is killing it btw. Bless 2011.

 

Love that place

 

The amount of cool stuff opening like .2 miles away from my townhouse is insane

I would live in that Restoration Hardware

 

Feels like that area, montrose and museum district are getting nice new restaurants every day.

 

Bought my townhouse from my landlord at an 8% discount and our mortgage rate is 2.5%

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to justify selling this place

 

What's opened up in the museum district? I've always felt like that area sucks as far as food options go

 

I’m not sure but the waste land between 59 and the museums is finally starting to get developed. It will be p sweet in a decade

 

La colombe d'or; there's a fancy fusion korean BBQ place opening up over there; Gatsbys; some other place next to Gatsby's. I guess in a very technical sense that is "Montrose" but I kind of blend that part of Montrose and the museum district into one as the neighborhoods are similar.

 

I have been wanting to try gatsbys

Allison cook did a write up and it sounded interested

but then I just keep going back to papas and v&a

 

I've heard mixed things. I am biased because I absolutely love that area - it's my favorite "spot" in all of Houston.

 

Gotchya. Yeah I've always considered north of 59 to be Montrose or midtown. Other than the menil, I don't really associate that area with museums. But I have had someone ask to meet in the museum district and they were talking about around the Menil so you aren't alone in that mindset.

 

Speaking of which - I went to Hotel ZaZa for an event about a month ago. I had a nice time in their bar. I need to go there more often.

 

Agree I really like their bar.

 

Great new restaurant at the MFA too

 

Two out of these three freaks won because no one turns out for local elections.

 

Hello friends. Need a couple dinner recs for the 2nd week in January. Staying at the Marriott Marquis so preferably within 10 minute Uber from there. Title game Monday (good food w TVs) and Wednesday. Going to Ninfas on Tuesday for a group dinner.

 

Xochi is on the 1st floor. Definitely eat there.

 

Craig Biggio's restaurant is also in Marquis. Bunch of tvs. Food is good for a bar type place.

Might be better options in the area though

 

Pitch 25 is another good spot to watch games and has good food. Definitely more of a bar than a dinner spot.

 

That lazy river is a treat but it’s probably going to be cold.

 

1,500 people from all over the world. If it’s heated I’m sure there will be some takers.

 

Oh and El Tiempo > Ninfas

 

And Candente may be better than both

 

Dona Maria is a good spot for breakfast tacos

 

Bravery Chef Hall is not too far away. Blind Goat and a bunch of other good options there.

 

Pit Room and Pinketons are two good BBQ spots within a 10 min uber, but wouldn't recommend waiting until dinner

 

Huynh is a chill vietnamese place within walking distance. No tvs

 

Love that place.

 

Walking distance:

Pizza: Vinny’s
Drinks and charred brussel spouts and that kinda shit (but great music and atmosphere): Mrs: Carousel
Coffee and tacos: toutesuite or brothers
Vietnamese: Hyunh

Driving:

Xin Chao for fried chicken
Candente for texmex w bbq
Craft beers for the room: D&Q
Italian: hi end: da marco, more normal: Coppa
Hot chicken: Micos

 

Born and raised Californian who now lives in possibly one of the worst cities in the entire country for Mexican food. I will be eating as much as possible.

 

Nancy's Hustle and Tiny Champions are two more good dinner spots. No tvs
