Houstonist doesn't get it. What's with all the hype surrounding Arcodoro? Why is this place getting such rave reviews from foodies we usually respect? Are we missing something here? Perhaps Houstonist readers can shed some light on our very dark Arcodoro experience. Houston's recent annual Restaurant Week was a great opportunity to sample a three course dinner from a variety of notable restaurants. After careful scrutiny, we chose Arcodoro, a restaurant we've heard a lot...

Did you hear that Alamo Drafthouse's Rolling Road Show is featuring The Big Lebowski at Copperfield Bowling Center? No? "Well, okay, you're not privy to all the new shit, so uh, you know, but that's what you [read Houstonist] for." The Coen Brothers' follow up to Fargo, The Big Lebowski is the story of mistaken identity involving a slacker and a millionaire. Jeff Bridges stars as bowling slacker Jeffrey Lebowski (but everyone calls him...
Chicagoist is gearing up for this weekend's annual Air & Water Show along the lakefront. In what's becoming an annual tradition around there, staff member Todd McClamroch even got to fly with one of the participants. Chicagoist's decidedly opinionated readership was also appalled that one of their staffers found a popular local brewpub to be a great place to bring a kid. They also think that an unlikely activist for immigration rights should just take...
Missed Connections activity was all over the place this week. The grammatical debate from last week raged on amid newer posts, likely spoofs, stirring the pot. Chicks welcomed the freaky deaky and showed off their crotchular regions, or frotch as grandma says. Health clubbers didn't miss many connections, but there were still a lot of M4M misses. Luby's? Mmm. Ewww! One lady offered her advice to dudes seeking dudes - impromptu package checks. Grocery...
Here is a bizarre news story that makes the Blue Elephant cry…
Yep, you read that correctly. Sunday morning an inflatable blue elephant visited Bridge Community church in Galveston. The elephant is part of National Porn Sunday campaign which is trying to beat out battle the multibillion dollar Porn industry. All bad puns aside, the 25ft inflatable blue elephant is a symbol of the “elephant in the pew,” said J.R. Mahon, pastor of XXXChurch.com, which spearheads the National Porn Sunday movement. Although their website name seems...
LAist is experimenting with blogging dates from J-Date, but finds the best men are found offline. Some date vicariously online and that is one reason why porn is big -- really freaking big -- so they ask if they should cover XXX since the heart of it lays in the city's San Fernando Valley. A writer grapples with her food porn photography obsession, another gets censored on Flickr, one gets scooped by the LA...
The nicer the weather gets, the busier we get across the Ist-A-Verse. But we like being busy. Here's a peek at what we've been up to since last week! Chicagoist had an interview with Audrey Niffenegger, whose popular book, The Time Traveler's Wife, was based in their fine city. They also had a heated discussion about Rush Limbaugh's controversial Barack Obama parody, talked about whether Uncle Julio's Hacienda is a good place to get...
Need to know just a little bit about something? Ask a dilettante. The former global AIDS coordinator had to resign from his position this week because it came to light that he hired “escorts.” How do people in power expect any of us to take them seriously when it seems like every week another “leader” is outed for not practicing what they preach? Since when do people in power think they get to live beyond...
Knock it off, morons. Listing a Missed Connection doesn't improve your karma, make your lottery numbers come up nor does it make the hottie from Accounts Payable dig your chili. However, driving a Volkswagen may get you noticed. Ah, fahrvergnügen. The hottie cop just may pull you over if you're lucky.
College students--and now everyone else--look people up on Facebook. Fourteen year olds with too much time on their hands do it on Myspace. And even if you have neither of these particular habits, readers, you know you do it. Good news: you're not alone.
Yeah, yeah. Sure, sure. It's spring and Astros fever is catching around town. But, football season is almost here five months away, and the draft is looming on the horizon. The Texans are making moves in the Free Agent market to gain talent and have a better idea their needs from the draft. Former Greenbay Packers running back, Ahman Green, will join the the backfield after signing on Sunday. Now the Texans are entertaining...
Good morning, Houston! So how about this weather, huh? It kinda puts us in the mood for some news — but honestly, most anything does. We're strange like that. So let's get right to it ... >> Modesty writ large: State Rep. Charlie Howard of Sugar Land has filed a bill in Austin seeking to keep explicit content off billboards, a move he said is meant to protect kids from seeing dirty stuff —...
Houstonist has never been a substitute teacher, but we're pretty sure it could be a boring job at times. From what we can remember, the regular teacher would often leave the substitute some kind of busy-work assignment for the students, so all the sub would have to do is set the kids to work on whatever it was — writing a paper on sexual diffidence in Victorian literature, for example, or making turkeys from the outline of their hands — and then he or she could enjoy a cup of hot coffee or the next chapter of the new Danielle Steel book. Or, you know, they could also use a school computer to look at Internet porn like one HISD sub did last week.
Houstonist prides itself on...well...actually, we're not sure pride's the right word, but we sure do waste a ton of time on the internet--even on weekends when we could be out enjoying the newly-saved park. Or buying some tasty pizza with the pesos we found on our floor
An HISD bus driver is being hailed as a hero after she kept a gunman from boarding a bus carrying the Madison High School girls' basketball teams on Wednesday — by chunking her radio microphone at him. Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do, right?
OK, guys — we're sure this won't interest you one bit, but there's a porn convention in Houston this weekend. What? All right, all right, we'll go ahead and tell you about it because we know you're dedicated to keeping up with local events. The convention is Lone Star Pornutopia, which began Wednesday and runs through Saturday. It's a scaled-down version of an event held every January in Las Vegas (which includes the AVN Awards),...
Some estimates say that up to 20,000 children appear in pornographic images on the internet every day, on one or more of the over 100,000 child pornography sites. Though obviously legislation makes child porn illegal, policing the internet is hard (especially with the advent of technologies that can "de-age" legal actors to look like children). A current petition aims to draw attention to this horrific industry by lighting a million (online) candles by December 2006....
For the past year or so, we’ve been hearing about the sagging housing market around the nation – home sales falling, prices are falling, the sky is falling. Once gain, Houston bucks that trend.
What a crazy place this Internet is. A few weeks ago, we talked about how the Houston Airport System's website sent people to a porn site for a while, and now a local car dealership is suing a company they claim co-opted its online presence for porn.
Two children drowned in unrelated incidents in Richmond on Sunday, bringing the number of kids who have drowned in the area this year to 16, compared with 20 in all of 2005 The investigator looking into problems at the HPD crime lab said he'll need $1.5 million ot finish his work, a price the city may not pay A high-speed police chase ended early this morning with a crash on the East Freeway at the...
So if you happened to visit the Houston Airport System's website yesterday, you would have been in for a surprise: For a few hours, visitors to the airport site were mysteriously redirected to an adult website.
If you have a car thatt goes boom, you might want to cross Freeport off your vacation agenda: Freeportt police can now arrest drivers who crank the bass. It's part of a new city ordinance that makes it illegal for music to be "felt" outside a vehicle — a little beyond a state law that prohibits playing music louder than 85 decibels (about the level of heavy street traffic or a vacuum at close range)....
LAist is flashing a sad peace out to their editor Carolyn Kellogg with one hand and bumping knuckles with their new head typist L.A. blogger king Tony Pierce with the other. Where do ist editors go when they hang up the 'editorial we'? They take on MySpace, apparently. At least Ben Brown does. Austinist reminds of the just rewards of less savory careers this week and then they witness the Arctic Monkeys and We Are...
The internet is full of ads for ways to reclaim one's virginity. From creams to prayers to motivational speakers promoting abstinence, the industry of secondary virginity is booming, but no "cure" has reinduced actual physical virginity. Until now, of course. San Antonio surgeon Dr. Troy Hailparn has built up a practice in reconstructive vaginal surgery, the Houston Press reports this week. According to the article she's treated wives who want their husbands to re-deflower them...
A large grass fire is burning near Rosharon, but there's no word yet on whether structures are in danger Charles Victor Thompson didn't get the handcuff key that helped him escape from jail from inside, authorities say FEMA will give a $1.5 million grant to help repair the Lake Conroe Dam, which was damaged during Hurricane Rita Police are looking for a man in a U-Haul truck who is suspected of stabbing his former roommate...
From Houstonist's "Maybe It's Time to Find a New Place to Live" file: A Houston woman became suspicious when she would come home to find lights on that she knew she'd turned off when she left her apartment. So she set up a cleverly disguised camera, and what she found was rather disgusting.
