A couple weeks back The Loop Scoop was asked by Click2Houston to write a blog post for them about first dates. At that time Paul admitted that he was bad at first dates and dates in general, but that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t know a thing or two of what he should do when it comes to the nerve-racking first meeting. And that doesn’t change the fact that Houston’s Best didn’t ask the rest of us. So we’ve added a few more options.
The weekend is here once again… And, Once again, you don’t have plans. That’s ok, it happens to the best of us. In fact, we haven’t quite made up our minds. Sure, I will be headed to the Slaid Cleaves show tonight, but what will the rest of our staff do? Only you can decide. In fact, you should view The Procrastinator’s Plan as a sort of “Choose Their Adventure.” You have the power to send Aaron to some place other than Petrol Station. Stephan will listen to your requests to take a photo safari in the warehouse district. I even think that Paul would honor your suggestion of dressing up in a chicken suit and cruising Market Square on Sunday afternoon… Not that he’s into that sort of thing. Of course you could always help out Danielle, Nikki, Richard, Emily, and Afrodet. Your wish is their command (maybe).
Ah, we finally come to the end of our Bestus Prospectus series with our Restaurants of the Year. It’s been a fun ride, and we hope that you enjoyed it as much as we did. We have an eclectic group below for your pleasure. There are even a couple that we managed to write experiences about before this list (which is something that we hope to turn into a trend). So, without any more of these words that we tend to love so much, here are our ten best (plus one, but who’s counting?).
In 6 Words: Nostalgic, Shakes, Sliders, Gherkin, Bebop, Oldies
It seems that everyone is willing to pay the price for nostalgia these days. With remakes of favorite childhood cartoons coming to the big screen in live-action and computer generated form, fashion continually trying to tap into style from ages long gone and music seemingly evolving (or devolving) into simpler harmonies; the past is all around us. Even the logo for The Loop Scoop touches on the calculated finesse of art deco. One of the emodiments of the reversion in Houston is just north of the intersection of Westheimer and Montrose. Little Biggs takes us back to a time of bebop and the juke-box riddled diner replete with sliders, shakes and black-and-white checkered tile.
