Best Restaurants in Houston

Houston, Texas has so much to offer- including amazing local restaurants! In this post, I'll share three of my favorite spots with you. 

Best Brunch: Weights + Measures

Weights + Measures is hands-down my favorite restaurant in Houston. Every time I'm in the city, it's a must-visit. This local spot is a restaurant, bar, and bakery all in one! It's the cutest place for brunch and almost never has a wait of over 15 minutes.

Menu items I recommend trying are:

  • Roasted Pork Papusa (with salsa and pickled cabbage slaw)
  • Brioche French Toast + Fried Chicken 
  • Chicken BLT (with avocado and jalapeno aioli on fresh ciabatta)
  • Meat Lovers Pizza (topped with pepperoni, sausage, purple onion, basil, and mozzarella)

Best Late-Night: The Burger Joint

The Burger Joint features- you guessed it- burgers and fries! This all-American classic has three locations in Montrose, Baybrook, and Houston Heights. The Montrose location is open until midnight Sunday through Thursday and until 4 AM Fridays and Saturdays. It's the perfect place to stop after a concert or night out.

Menu items I recommend trying are:
  • BBQ Burger (topped with lettuce, tomato, caramelized onions, bacon, onion rings, cheddar, and BBQ sauce)
  • Classic Burger (topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and mayo- sub mayo for garlic aioli and onions for caramelized onions)
  • Onion Rings
  • Queso Fries
  • Mac and Cheese

Best Fried Pickles: FM Kitchen & Bar

FM Kitchen & Bar is a relaxed gastropub with a dog-friendly patio area. This is a great place to stop for a filling lunch or brunch in the city! They offer a diverse menu and cocktail list. 

Menu items I recommend trying are:

  • Fried Pickles
  • The Cooper Burger (topped with queso, tomato, and shhh sauce on brioche)
  • FM Club Sandwich (roasted chicken, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and pesto aioli on Texas toast)
  • FM Taco (bacon, egg, tater tots, cheese, and refried beans)

New Year’s in Amsterdam: European Road Trip with EF Ultimate Break Trip Review

Happy Friday everyone! Ever heard of EF Ultimate Break? If you haven’t, it’s a group travel company for young adults aged 18-35. The company offers just over 100 different trips across six continents, so chances are that they have an itinerary fit for you.  This past winter break, I took a leap of faith and traveled solo with EF Ultimate Break across Europe for 17 days. The itinerary included London, Amsterdam, Paris, Lucerne/Swiss Alps, Venice, Florence, and Rome plus lunch stops at Lake Como and Orvieto.

DIY Wall Art: Vinyl Wall

Looking for something to fill your wall other than a boring photo collection? Use your favorite vinyl records and music-related memorabilia to create a stand-out area in your home.  To create my vinyl wall, I purchased these vinyl record frames from Michael's for six of my favorite records. (A three-pack costs $25.) I also framed a vintage Woodstock Time magazine using this frame from Target  for $8.  Lay out your framed records/items on the floor to choose your ideal layout. Start at the top corner, measuring evenly as you mount. I used simple frame hooks and haven't had any issues with my wall.  And just like that, there you have it! The best part is that you can always add more frames or switch the framed records as your music tastes change or new albums come out. Happy Monday!
