The Heights Restaurant And Bar Scene - More Coming
SilverJK replied to Freelander's topic in The Heights
I went to Big Mamou the other day as well, it was okay. I had the half grilled shrimp po-boy and cup of gumbo. Poboy was decent, gumbo had good flavor but was more like a jambalaya as it wasn't really a soup (more thick than gumbo should be). We also had the fried green tomatoes... not bad. Wife had the oyster poboy and it was good. Service was excellent. Everyone was extremely friendly. That being said, there isn't room in this town for mediocre food, they need to step it up a bit. Also... tried Vietnam yesterday and it was pretty good. We had some Tres Leches from El Bolillo at work the other day... it was excellent. I will be going there this weekend to try other items. -
Party in the plaza... If you want to party in the plaza, mark March 21st on your calendar. There is going to be a Brazilian festival in the plaza that day. link for more info www.houstonbrazilianfest.org

Ive worked downtown for a bit over two years now, and i love the tunnels. I'm baffled how anyone could not like them, in the summer i can take a quick hike to the Park shops to grab some dumplings at Doozo and i'm not a sweaty mess nor have i been struck by a car when i get back... awesome. I don't think the retail in the tunnels really takes away from the street level either, because there would just be more stuff closed on the street level at night. I want stuff on the street level that will be open late.

When i go to TOPZ it costs like $8! I think i get the 2nd size burger. I always go to the one on travis though. It IS a great foodcourt, not by design but because of the vendors. Doozo is freaking crack, that line is ALWAYS crazy long but it moves fast enough to prevent long wait times. Potbelly and Drubi are also really good. Can't say i like Otto's, but the other three i mentioned are fantastic... especially doozo. mmmmmmm

awesome. I see those every day and have thought heavily about it. I work just accross the rail. I agree that once the dollar store shuts down, the bums that just sit around will probably shift away a few streets, but the ones begging for change will still be around because that is where the handouts are. (unless new businesses push them out). On a sidenote, i've seen the redbull truck, and the mentos car as well as other groups there on your corner giving stuff away on many occasions. yay for guerilla marketing!

hrm... maybe try going again??? I saw a guy shredding out there the other day. Wasn't shaun white riding out there when it opened? I mean, your not going to see a 900 or a darkslide or anything like that, but there is some solid skating going down there.

I work at 1000 main st and every single day i am asked approx. 4 times for cash on my walk to and from the bus stop to work. The same guy everyday "can you help me out??" on mckinney and travis. I look them in the eyes and say i don't carry cash. 99% of the time they look away and say god bless you as they walk off to the next person. I have been verbally accosted 3 or 4 times in the 2 years i've been working downtown. There are always homeless people infront of my building next to the fountains on main.

if there is no risk in doing a sport... then whats the point?

Basketball claims the knees of many a people. I managed to tear a bunch of tendons and ligaments in my ankle due to a basketball injury. I found my old Zero board in the attic, maybe i should brush up my skills and hit this place up!

but could you really get a citition for public intoxication, if you were in the club? Regardless of whether or not the club was open legally/illegally. I mean, you could state that a cab was picking you up, and dropping you off at your house. Club isn't public, cab isn't public, your house isn't public, but I guess you would be outside for a minutes or so in transit... I know if i was in club drunk, and it got raided and i was arrested for public intoxication... i'd be getting in touch with my lawyer. Of course i don't associate with drug dealin after hours types...

I'm still baffled at the public intoxication charges for patrons of a club... I'm thinking the city, yet again wasted a bunch of taxpayers money to botch a job that they are just going to get sued over, and nothing will probably stick to the ones that truly are guilty. The club should definitely be in trouble for operating after hours though.

i went and looked at one of the small studios here and let me tell you, you can't live in it. At like 500 or 600 sq. ft. or whatever it was, they managed to waste about 100 sq. ft of it. It was a 2 story unit, but basically you open the door, and then you have a stairway to the room, and there is a little room around the stairway. This sucks because the main part of the apartment has low ceilings, while the foyer/stairway has super high ceilings. To bad it isn't the other way around.
