barracuda Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 It's the Pita version of Subway. I had one in Seattle and it was pretty good. It doesn't compare to some family-run shops (Shawarma King on Hillcroft is my favorite), but it's still good. It'd be great if they built one of these close by in Midtown.

danhole Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Lupe Tortilla has great puffy tacos. I just found out they have puffy tacos. I have always just had the fajitas. Good huh? I am going to have to get them next time, and take home some fajitas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stolitx Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 The Pita Pit on the corner of Fountainview and Westheimer (5887 Westheimer) is no more, it never even opened. They just got the sign up. The landlord put the suite up for lease.BTW, visit their website, have you seen a more ridiculous mascot? I understanding the whole "take your product and add human features" to make a mascot, but this pita face borders on creepy. The one in the Greenway Plaza food court closed. I didn't care for it much personally. I found everything I tried to be incredibly salty. I'm still surprised they closed. It seemed fairly popular.

mumbles Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 One problem I see with this is its going to put the cyclists and joggers in conflict. There has been a nice truce in Memorial Park with the joggers on the dirt trail on the North side of Memorial and the cyclists on the paved trail on the South side, and on Picnic Circle. I had always thought this was largely because jogging on dirt is more low-impact for a jogger than paving, and because paving is better for a bicycle.Dirt is much better for bicycles! Where is the challenge in riding a bike on smooth pavement? That is just plain boring. If I couldn't ride my bike on dirt trails, I wouldn't ride it at all.

crunchtastic Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I really wish they'd get the Bayou City Arts Festival out of Memorial Park. It's a terrible location for such a big event. There's no parking and only two ways into and out of the park.The park location sucks for this event. A woman I work with is on the board of a number of arts groups including the festival. According to her, they are trying to have both the spring and fall events downtown but it's .... complicated. My partner and I have friends who fly in to show at the festivals, and everyone we talk with, visitors, artists, patrons, dislike the Memorial Park venue. I think it's just a matter of time.

KinkaidAlum Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 or, THE DISCOVERY GREEN.Ample parking and I am sure the downtown restaurants, the Pavilions, and even the hotels would love to have the spillover business.I am not kidding you when I tell you that it took me 37 minutes to run around the park but almost one full hour to get out of the park when I was finished jogging. The traffic was terrible. I feel sorry for anyone who had a golf or tennis game lined up as I saw one guy carrying his clubs from the corner of the park near the railroad tracks!Memorial Park is a terrible venue for this festival. That said, it was nice to see so many people walking and enjoying the day (people were walking from Wescott, from the West Loop, from all over the park, etc...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, it was nice to see so many people walking and enjoying the day (people were walking from Wescott, from the West Loop, from all over the park, etc...)I attended the BCAF last weekend and thought the park was a PERFECT place for it. I have been to the one in Downtown twice - it's ok but very urban feeling. I loved having all the booths essentially in a big circle so you didn't even have to plan a path through the event. The art seemed to be even more highlighted when it was surrounded by trees instead of being towered over by downtown skyrises.Attendees shouldn't have been trying to park at Memorial since there were free shuttles from off-site locations. We parked at the NW mall and hopped on a bus right to the ticket booth. It was simple and fast. no driving around for a far-away spot that was taking away from other non-BCAF-park-patrons' parking options. just my 2 cents.

KatieDidIt Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Cool thanks for the info. Memorial park is long due for an upgrade. I saw a jogger almost get killed by a stray hubcap the other day. They need to put a nice fence up against memorial.Jeez, I just got back from San Fransico and if you think Memorial is bad, you should see Highway One, The PCH. One false move and you're dead. No gaurd rails, no shoulder....just a loooooooong way down. A flying "hub cap" (do they exist anymore?) is nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original Timmy Chan's Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I ate at that Pita Pit on Westheimer and Fountainview once...I thought it was pretty miserable, especially for the price they charged. There are many, many more options around that part of town for better food at a better price. It seemed to be an Anglicized version of shawarma...kinda like eating a burrito from McDonald's.
