"Counter service comes to life at Lola, which suddenly finds itself at the center of The Heights revolution. The modern diner, which even boasts vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free offerings, serves breakfast classics til 9 pm every day. Lola favorite Challah French toast makes quite the impression with fresh strawberries, as does the home skillet with either chicken fried chicken or chicken fried steak with three eggs any style and your choice of seasoned house potatoes —phenomenal — parmesan grits or corned beef hash."

"You’ll be hard pressed to find a native Houstonian who hasn’t had a delicious breakfast from Avalon Diner at one point or another, whether in River Oaks, Stafford, Kirkwood and beyond. Famous since 1938, Avalon draws super long lines, so be prepared to wait. Get ready for all the tasty traditional dishes, done right: corned beef hash and eggs, migas, eggs sandwiches."

"Go to this Houston institution for its eggs, sausage and pancakes, challah french toast and old-fashioned milk shakes and malts. Avalon Diner, which once operated along with Avalon Pharmacy, has been serving up true greasy spoon fare in River Oaks since 1938.

"After soaking in fine art, try out Bistro Menil, the space’s eatery. Main entrees include crisp duck confit, shrimp zucchini pasta and seared tuna. A variety of pizzas and galettes are also on hand."

"Located steps away from the Menil Collection, the art museum that houses the impressive and valuable private art of John and Dominique de Menil, this bistro is a laid-back place to..."

"This 24/7 staple is making major moves with a new location opening on Shepherd this spring, making it even easier for you to satisfy your late-night cravings. Much like House of Pies, the dessert may just be the main reason for your trek — in this case, the towering, signature New York-style cheesecakes. But you can’t really leave without a hefty bowl of matzoh ball soup."

"What night owls say:"Late night, early morning, or lunch, you can't go wrong with this hot spot. The food is very good. The menu has a lot of options. Just because it's 2am don't expect to just walk right in and be seated, this is a popular spot, but the wait is never long." – Ernest P."

"This Museum District cafeteria knows how to bring the flavor - ooh wee. Let's just take a moment to admire the smothered turkey wings. Something so simple elevated by showering the dish with their special gravy, which puts a smile on your face after each bite."

"Originally a pharmacy in the historic Heights neighborhood, Yale Street Grill is the oldest restaurant north of downtown. Abel and Mildred Dupuis, both pharmacists, founded the business in 1923. Early on they installed a soda fountain and began selling sandwiches and breakfast for those who came to pick up their prescriptions."

"MontroseFrom the outside, this unmarked dive bar looks like an ordinary house. And from the inside, it looks like a punk rock hovel from an episode of Hoarders decided to throw a really awesome rager. Track down the totally inconspicuous purple house off Grant and Fairview and enter at your own risk (which is absolutely zero risk, but it sounds cool)."

"Arguably Houston’s finest dive bar, Lola’s keeps it real one hundred percent of the time. Pick a selection of tunes from the well-curated jukebox, and enjoy drinks that are as cheap as they are potent."

Other shows let visitors take a microscopic journey through the body or groove to Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" through lights and music."
