Heights - one of the most eccentric areas of Houston. A mix of antique & modern, history & warmth, never ending charm. This area has everything and is in the Heart of Houston. Close to everything & seemingly in its own world in more ways than one. You really don't have to leave the Heights b/c you can find it all hhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifere, and if you want to support LOCAL then this is the place to go. Mom & pop shops & restaurants, there is never a dull moment. The Heights is ever changing and welcomes some new hot spots that are a MUST!!
BB's Cafe on 6th & Studewood (www.bbscafe.com ) is the newest cajun eatery in the Heights. This is their 4th location with plans of expanding even more. My favorite items on the menu are: Tex-Cajun Virgin fries, the name doesn't roll off the tongue at all but being a french fry connoisseur this is amazing. Its french fries topped w/ queso, gravy & succulent roast beef, its an appetizer but its very filling & a great way to start the meal. Not a fry lover? Try the Chalmette Macaroni - jalapeno cheesy macaroni topped with gravy & roast beef. Another concoction your taste buds have never experienced!! Of course gumbo is never a bad choice, especially not from here, its tasty, filling & made w/ a dark rue for a richer taste. There are 3 sizes to choose from, I can't ever seem to order anything other than Medium. You can never go wrong either w/ several choices of po' boy's for lunch or a combo of soup & sandwich. I am not a big fan of chicken but if its fried or drenched in gravy I am down! The Tuesday Special - is pecan crusted chicken w/ pepper cream sauce served w/ salad & chalmette macaroni - to die for! The chicken is cooked perfectly so its juicy yet crunchy w/ the pecan crust & the cream sauce is just mouth watering. This place is not only delicious, its priced well, good quality & service is always great.
Carter & Cooley Co. on historic & legendary 19th Street brings you a blast from the past. Walk into a 1921 built restored drug store in the Heights main street. This street takes you back & there are a ton of cute shops & places to eat thathttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif are super cute & great for people watching. Come down on Heights 1st Saturday to do a free walking/tram tour to see what's new. Known for their sandwiches, choose from tons of options & my favorites are: Italian & Meatloaf. The Italian has my favorite ingredients, the best Italian deli meats & sauces on fresh bread and home made meatloaf is juicy & very filling. Their menu changes so be sure to try something new each time. Prices are low, service is fast. For more information visit their website - www.carterandcooley.com
