I'm always trying new stuff whether its a new store, restaurant, service, book, vacation spot, website etc and I like to write/rave on it. I'm also random and go on random rants about things that i think are funny, annoying, or that excite me. Welcome to my collection of random thoughts :)

June Reviews

June Reviews

This month i didnt get to go try as many places as i hoped until the end of the month but I still got some in there.  July looks like a month full of adventure and surprises so hopefully my list of reviews will be great!

Sugarcane ( formerly Corkscrew)
 
 A co-worker of mine had her birthday here.  SugarCane is in the old corkscrew on Washington Avenue and its known for its natural and organic products.  You order a drink with juice in and they juice it in the back for you fresh to order.  I had one of their mojitos and it was awesome.  My friends were drinking salty dogs and loved the fresh squeezed juice.  The inside had dim lighting ( as most bars) fun music and a real chill atmosphere.  I'd totally go again!

Reign lounge ( Washington Ave)
 After I left Sugarcane I went with a friend to Reign lounge to see his friends.  The bar was playing awesome music ( booty music i like to dance too lol) and i really liked the materials and design of the downstairs bar/lounge area.  We went upstairs and I didnt get to realy look at anything because we went straight to the patio on the roof.  I love how most of the bars on Washington have roof patios now.  I enjoyed the lounge couches but it was so muggy that night.  If there had been fans or a breeze it would have been perfect.  The crowd wasnt really for me though.  I stuck out as the token white girl.  lol

Luigi's (midtown)
 I wrote about this in my blog from last weekend as well as Pole la Teaz, Discovery Green Music the
The Menil collection 


Christian's Tailgate (midtown)
After the museum we used Urban Spoon on the Iphone to help us make a decision on where to eat in midtown.  Christian's tailgate popped up.  I had seen it and heard of it as some of my friends go have drinks there after work, but apparently they have hamburgers and stuff too.  I ordered a burger with avocado and we sat on the patio and watched the cook grill it on the grill outside.  Super chill place.  I was laughing at the people getting wasted at 5pm on a Sunday night.  I'm either old or they either 1) dont have normal jobs 2) have a drinking problem.....

Dry Creek (Heights)
last night i ate here and one of the nicest nights ever.  The rain was supposed to come through so it was nice and breezey.  we sat outside under the cover, had the whole place to ourselves and drank these drinks called Cafe Cudads.  It's a vietnamese coffee sweetened with condensed milk.  Omg so good.  i also ordered their black pepper shrimp salad that had shrimp (obviously... and the best shrimp i have ever tasted btw), mango, avocado, feta, onions, tomatoes and i ordered this serrano pepper dressing on the side. Food was pheNOMenal.  NOM NOM NOM.  I can't wait to go back.  Go check it out!
