from Houston Chronicle - With three strong chefs in the kitchen and a creative blend of Southern fare with the barbecue arts, Southern Goods from day one has felt and tasted like home.
When the steel-gridded windows of this new-age Heights icehouse are flipped out to admit the mild Gulf Coast winter air, Houstonians belly up to the bar and fill the covered terrace picnic tables all the way out to the gravel-floored back yard. There, a lurid carnival pig mask leers, while a big black smoker sulks, belching woodsmoke.
Think of Southern Goods as a modern species of diner, where the hungry can converge to grab a burger or an ad-hoc plate lunch, a salad or a grilled cheese sandwich, even a more substantial meal. Or think of it as a pub with a serious tap wall that happens to serve interesting food. Or as a place to hang while a local band livens up the back yard. It's elusive to define, yet it seems immediately familiar.

Southern Goods
632 W 19th Stfrom Houston Chronicle - With three strong chefs in the kitchen and a creative blend of Southern fare with the barbecue arts, Southern Goods from day one has felt and tasted like home.
When the steel-gridded windows of this new-age Heights icehouse are flipped out to admit the mild Gulf Coast winter air, Houstonians belly up to the bar and fill the covered terrace picnic tables all the way out to the gravel-floored back yard. There, a lurid carnival pig mask leers, while a big black smoker sulks, belching woodsmoke.
Think of Southern Goods as a modern species of diner, where the hungry can converge to grab a burger or an ad-hoc plate lunch, a salad or a grilled cheese sandwich, even a more substantial meal. Or think of it as a pub with a serious tap wall that happens to serve interesting food. Or as a place to hang while a local band livens up the back yard. It's elusive to define, yet it seems immediately familiar.
damn good Tex Mex for a chain! Local Tex-Mex chain Los Cucos expanded to the Heights with a new concept, a signature cafe. In addition to familiar dishes, Los Cucos will offer chef-inspired entrees derived from Mexico.

from Houston Press - The winner of our 2009 Best of Houston® award for Best Atmosphere, sandwich shop Carter & Cooley has been serving excellent BLTs, Reubens and warm honey ham and brie sandwiches for more than 20 years. The Simon Lewis building in which it's housed was erected in 1921 as Ward's Drugs and has been lovingly restored by owner Neil Sackheim. Eat your corned beef on dark Bentwood chairs under a pressed tin ceiling and enjoy the sense of being lost a few decades back in the Heights' history.

from Houston Press - A small, unassuming, family-run restaurant in the Heights, El Gallo de Jalisco is one of the few joints left in the area that's remained ungentrified. It's still cash-only, and very limited English is spoken inside, but you'll also find wonderfully authentic tacos, tortas and perhaps one of the finest chicken mole plates in town. The salsas aren't at all spicy, but they taste great with a cold glass of jamaica.

Walking into Retropolis the first time can be overwhelming. The store is packed to the gills with clothes, jewelry, hats and shoes that have somehow survived long enough from the '30s, '40s, '50s and on to end up in this gem of a place in the Heights. It's basically a vintage mini-mall with different vendors offering up their finds. We still get giddy seeing all the racks of clothes just waiting to be pawed through in search of a '40s-era rayon swing dress, a polka-dot bikini from the '60s or the perfect 1920s red velvet dressing gown. You can wade in and dig through the entire stock if you're so inclined, or — once you've learned your way around — you can just head straight for the booths that specialize in the eras of clothes you're after. You get what you pay for, so prices will go up based on the condition and rarity of the items, but they aren't astronomical, and you can score some amazing finds with a little luck and good timing.

August Antiques is a unique family business in the Historic Houston Heights offering many unusual finds from the New England states as well as upstate and western New York.
We started in 1993 with just one room of what now fills the entire first floor of a 1920’s residential/commercial style red brick building which we believe to have been built as a grocery store. Within a year, we needed more room and expanded to the 1910’s corner building which was once Heights Gulf Service station.
Originally, we started selling primitives and Victorian furniture from early New England estates. Now, our inventory is very diverse, including: Victorian, Mission, Empire, and primitive furniture, old and rare books, religious statuary and artifacts, period lighting, art pottery, vintage radios, fans from the 1910’s-1950’s, mid-century modern furnishings and way cool lamps, architectural salvage, etc.
There is always something to interest almost anybody. When you come in remember that all of our lighting is ready to hang, our radios all work, and our fans are rewired and ready to use. We also restore and rewire fixtures, radios, and fans. Please stop in and see what new finds we have just brought in from our buying trip.

6200 Hermann Park DrBecause it's the Zoo!
My favorite way to see a movie... sitting in your own pod, fully automatic fully reclining seats into almost a bed, food, wine, drinks all delivered at the push of a button... very pricy but what an experience! You may never want to go to a normal theater again.
