Don't let Bruce and Shelia sell you on some tale about Aussie's inventing the flat white. I went with Wikipedia, which states that flat whites were available in OZ about 20 years before NZ. Doesn't matter to me. I listen to both 2GB and RNZ, and watch Heritage Rescue, which seems to have moved to MāoriTV for the latest season. (I used to sport an RNZI t-shirt when I was in college. Got stopped by a Maori guy in New York because of it.) Is there a Kiwi equivalent of Bruce and Sheila? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatline Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Big blow to the 'hood. Sounds like she will be opening more of a retail storefront nearby. . . https://www.houstonchronicle.com/food-culture/restaurants-bars/article/Sonoma-in-the-Heights-wine-bar-to-close-June-26-17133472.php Sonoma in the Heights, the wine bar at 801 Studewood, will close on June 26 after 10 years of operation in the Heights neighborhood. Owner Farrah Cauley, who built three Sonoma Wine Bar concepts in Houston and Katy, said she was unable to continue her lease at the Heights location. Sonoma’s other locations at 2720 Richmond and 9920 Gaston Road in Katy are unaffected by this decision and will remain open. “This was not the outcome I had hoped for after several months of negotiations with the landlord, but I had to make this extremely tough and sad decision based on what my business can afford,” she said of Sonoma in the Heights. . . .

s3mh Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Sonoma could not come to terms with its landlord and lost its lease on Studewood. But the Height's loss is the GOOF's gain. Sonoma is moving to the Stomping Grounds development (which is finally seeing some momentum in building out restaurant tenants). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s3mh Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 New grab and go concept from the chef who used to run Azzarelli's (more accurately the reincarnation of his grandfather's restaurant by the same name). It is what is going in the new building at 4606 N. Main St., one door north of Tampico. Sign went up recently and looks like they will be opening soon. Not sure whether there will be dine in there will be. Website only talks about grab and go. Nice looking building, though. https://www.triolaskitchen.com/ 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply Coffie has finally opened. Looks like they just have some pastries plus coffee service. Haven't been yet. They are in their soft opening right now and seem like they are getting mobbed (which is good). This business wins the never say die award for being able to hang on through everything to finally get their business open. Strangely, it may have been fate that they were not able to open in 2018-19 as they would have been crushed by the pandemic. And now, there are probably an additional 5,000 residents in the Heights compared to 2018 due to all the multifamily construction. https://www.instagram.com/SimplyCoffie/?fbclid=IwAR0JR1SqmfFKL9VzeXODCZW2xMfzJvIwuJe3oel29AscXvUZiwcS3vG-QE0 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntheKnowHouston Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Grace (aka Grace Pizza & Shakes) is expanding to the Heights area. It's local pizza restaurant from the team behind Italian restaurant Grazia. There is a location in Alvin and another in Pearland. I don't know where Grace will be located exactly. It's possible the latest location may be located in the Washington Corridor or Garden Oaks / Oak Forest areas (since some refer to those neighborhoods as the Heights). https://gracepizzaandshakes.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
