Ah, Nielsen's Deli - home of Houston's most luscious, and best ever homemade chicken salad and one very mean deviled egg.

This lunchtime jewel is located on Richmond Avenue, just inside Loop 610, near the Galleria. It's convenient from downtown too, peeps! Open 7 days a week, from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. you gotta make a stop for some chicken salad, even if you buy a pint to go (it's fantastic slathered on a good grainy cracker). As we intimated, the deviled eggs are amazing, Houstonist Mama would be proud of them, for sure. The egg salad is wonderful too!

Westheimer Road is a long, thriving, paved snake of potholed infrastructure. It guides you into town from the Grand Parkway through Beltway 8 and Loop 610 until it brings you all the way into a cozy, little enclave of town we lovingly refer to as The Montrose. Not really the heart of Houston, because that would probably be the Medical Center, but more like the liver or one of the kidneys of Houston as...
