New to Houston! Wanted to say Hi & Find out some info.

Maybe this one time you can make an exception.....forget about the Hispanic part. Originally Posted by lisa.lisa0302

Lynn's??? Heh, you 1920's oil and gas types need to get out more... Originally Posted by Wakeup

I have. Go for the wine...don't stay for the food...

Howdy and welcome to Houston. For a nice change of pace on this thread, I will try to stick to the question you actually posed.

Houston is great in so many ways if you can get past the traffic, humidity, bugs and lack of topographical variety. But the quality and diversity of the restaurants are at the top of the list here. This is such an internationally diverse city, perhaps now as diverse as New York City or Chicago. Just about every variant of Latin America is represented: authentic Mexican, Central American, Caribbean, Brazilian, Colombian, Peruvian, Argentinian. Chinese, Thai, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese. Indian, Pakistani, Morrocan, Lebanese, Iraqi. Italian, Spanish, Greek, Polish, German, Russian. There are even English pubs (if you can call that food).

Add to that the confluence of three indigenous foods here (Tex-Mex, Texas barbecue and Cajun) and you should have no problem finding great new places every night for a year.

Geographically, Westheimer from the Galleria to the west is a dividing line between a United Nations of food options to the south and more traditional white bread options to the north. Trendier neighborhoods inside the loop have longer-standing Houston traditions mixed with newer startups with a lot of quality.

A few suggestions (just my $0.02):

Best brisket in town: Luling City Market on Richmond just inside 610.
Best Mexican: Teotihuacan on Airline just north of downtown.
Best boiled crawfish: Ragin Cajun on Richmond just west of Weslayan.
Best paella: Rioja, Kirkwood at Westheimer.
Best steak: Lynn's, Dairy Ashford just south of I-10.
Best Eastern European: Polonia, Blalock between Long Point and Hammerly.
Best after-hours comfort food: House of Pies, upper Kirby district.
Best risotto: Sorrento Ristorante, Westheimer near Montrose.

Buen provecho! I hope you don't have to eat alone too much.

Problem with Rioja is that the service sucks. I gave up trying to eat there, the problem wasn't small portions, it was zero portions after 45 mins.

Now, back to topic, this thread is epic, we have the two biggest losers on eccie confirming what we always suspected. WolfsPiss talks about biological incompatibilities between races (tell that to my children, they must have been conceived by miracle), and Wakeup continues his caucasian fetish.

Maybe they are two sides of the same coin. Reviews about food, and can't get laid in a spa?

As for me, a Londoner (greatest city in the world)

a) i like going to houston from london, great food/women, but it gets a bit hot in July/August. Check out hot bodies jogging in memorial Park.

b) London has just elected a Muslim mayor, tolerant and inclusive. Tell that to all the haters.

c) as others have said, there is a very useful sticky about the topic.

Service is average at Rioja but I have experienced much worse elsewhere like in Midtown,,,Why is everyone keep calling me "Wolf?",,,I don't know where they are getting that from?,,,Races can intermingle if they want but generally it does not work out FOR SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE NON-RACISTS because the laws of attraction does apply when around people of a different racial background,,,They aren't attracted to them,,,BTW, London is a wretched city,,,Dreary living comes to mind when I think of London. Only a Londoner could find no fault with Houston.

WolfsPiss, keep digging.

When looking at pictures 2, 7, and 19 of her showcase she looks more European (you're familiar with the look, aren't you?), as opposed to native Indian of the Americas, which would indicate she is "Caucasian" as that term has been used over the decades to differentiate between races ... and the skin color is simply a result of the ancestry from the Southern European countries ... and since she is apparently a citizen of the United States she is not "Mexican" ... as a result the designation of "Hispanic" has more to do with the first language of her ancestors.

You seemingly complaining about "Mexican hookers" here in Texas reminds me of Russians bitching about all the "German Hookers" in East Germany ... "back in the day"! Originally Posted by LexusLover

After reviewing the P411 account, and most particularly the #1 photo that is "unflattering" to say the least, I have some reservations as to my assessment based on her Eccie photos posted here, but do not withdraw my general comments regarding the inaccurate usage of terms related to "race" that are traditionally reserved for nationality and ethnicity, particularly by those who determine "race" on skin color. It IS unfortunate that a person arriving in town is greeted with offensive remarks. The Houston metro area was better than that after Katrina, I thought.

Edit: Brace yourselves for the non-stop lame memes flow and idiotic posts to start...

Just when you think people can't get any more stupid....along come two (WU and WolfPiss) who dig new depths.

Now, should WU allow himself to fuck a blond Spanish European lady? I think we ought to know.

I did think TCM couldn't get any more stupid, but I was wrong. Maybe he is trying to win a challenge or a bet?
