Good Selection

1. Spec's Liquor…

Neighborhood: Midtown

GOOD GOD!  I'm not an alcoholic, but if i was, this is where you would find me on the daily.   I heard somewhere that they have every beer that is legal to sell in Texas. The wine selection...

2. Central Market

Neighborhood: Highland Village

selection is good, and they even have an on site sommelier. But the prices, like the rest of central market are a little on hefty side.   I have to make a note about the cheese selection. It's quite...

4. Swirll

Neighborhood: River Oaks

Sigh.  I really tried NOT to like this frozen yogurt craze.  Not because I don't like partaking in trends and crazes, but it just didn't seem like a good value.  I mean, it's frozen yogurt!  And I...
