I'm on the 19th floor and because the upper and lower units must have their AC on freezing, I have no a/c on!<br />Yes you would probably know many of the restaurants that I did over the years....over 70 in Houston alone! Shade is wonderful and the owner is a friend. I LOVE the Heights, among other places in Houston. <br />Houstonians eat out the most! I swear....I haven't been anyplace that hasn't been packed - no matter the price point. With over 14,000 food establishments, there is certainly something for everyone. I used dto say designing restaurants was like being in the funeral business, I would never run out of business....and I didn't!

And May 9th is the longest I've ever held on.<br />Would I recognize any restaurants that had your Babs designer stamp on them? <br />Who eats out the MOST?<br />A Houstonian or an ExPat in SMA? Atleast we don't insult the industry by blogging about the cheapest places to eat.<br />Oh, and Coming Back Full Circle to your post about Green Leafy Houston,may I be so bold as to suggest SHADE in the heights for Sunday Brunch or any night. Their food has charmed me. Also, the waiter Darin, but that's another story. <br />DanaJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-53105835320011269682009-05-09T18:00:00.000-05:002009-05-09T18:00:00.000-05:00Go, we didn't eat in the restaurant as we were at ...Go, we didn't eat in the restaurant as we were at Tony Mandola's - but I can't imagine any place that Robert Del Grande owns wouldn't be wonderful....and as for no A/C - God bless you! I have nearly frozen to death in every establishment I've been in in the last two weeks, restaurants especially. I'be got my winter pjs with me and have had to wear them at the homes I've been staying at... <br />Yes, Felipe, Houston is shining! Discovery Green is directly in front of the Convention Center. WAAAAAAAAAAAy Cool. Oh, and the House of Blues is here now - hope to drop in, if possible.<br />Yes, I have always loved Houston, I don't care what anyone says - if I could afford it, me too.Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-48991887198525185332009-05-09T15:41:00.000-05:002009-05-09T15:41:00.000-05:00My old home town has changed a lot in recent years...My old home town has changed a lot in recent years, all for the better.

Have passed by, never stopped in. We'll go have some grub there and promenade, and see what happens.<br />This update just in from East Houston...it's May 9th and I haven't turned the AC on at home, yet. I've got trees and 2 porches, and I'm holding out til it kills me. DanaJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
