[Editor’s Note: Houston is a huge, incredibly varied city, and there is so much to see and hear. Almost too much! Luckily, our good friends at Stay Diverse can often be seen out and about, highlighting some of the places we love and places we’ve yet to see. So while you’re stopping by MyHoustonLife to […]
Ohhh, Baby!! Ruggles Cafe and Bakery
December 16, 2011 by 1 Comment
Disclaimer: Drugs have not actually been found (or tested) in any of their food. If you go around town you’ll find Ruggles Grill (very fancy), Ruggles Green (very organic) and Ruggles Café and Bakery. I will focus of their Café and Bakery since, well, I’m partial to its location in Rice Village, and because it’s […]
MMM…Cupcake!
November 30, 2011 by 1 Comment
I was fully aware of this cupcake craze for a couple of years but I never felt like driving across town to more well known cupcake bakeries such as Crave Cupcakes or Sprinkles for the 4 bites it takes me to devour one of their cupcakes.

Amy’s Ice Creams is Houston’s best bet for satisifying that late-night sweets craving.

At Amy’s you can choose from the “Great […]
Like to have a cup of coffee sometime?

There are few things in this world so distinctly hipster as the coffeeshop. Those venti, half-and-half-double-caffeine-soy-lattes are as ubiquitous as the burger joint nowadays, giving everyone a great place to go when there isn’t really anywhere to go. Want to get friends together? Find a shop halfway between all of you. Need to ask someone out? […]
