Every now and then, Houstonist gets a little nostalgic for the plastic trays sliding on metal bars along steaming heaps of cafeteria food. No surprises, no hard-to-pronounce names, no fancy ingredients, what-you-see-is-what-you-get comfort food. Discreetly tucked away in West U, Cleburne Cafeteria (3606 Bissonnet) proclaims they serve the "Best Food in the World." Well, that's a bit of a bold statement. "Best Cafeteria Food" might be a little more believable. "Best Cafeteria Food in Houston"...
If you're hiking, consider charging up your iPod, as Seattlest finds out that a man lost during a hike was found by the glow of his iPod. That cleverness seems to be devoid in cops who were using police cruiser instant messaging clients - although we imagine IMs "so are you nakie" to be included in cop shows, just for realism. If only the cops were busting the Hummer-driving jerk who made a poor...
Let's face it: If you're not cooking on Thanksgiving Day, there's not a whole lot to do (except, of course, when you're eating). Enter Thanksgiving TV, your best buddy for Turkey Day — and an essential part of your post-meal nap in your favorite recliner. Start Thanksgiving Day with three parades: the H-E-B Holiday Parade from downtown Houston, the Macy's parade from New York and the WLS Thanksgiving Day Parade from Chicago. The main...
I was wondering if you could do a round up of restaurants that will be open on Thanksgiving for we few freaks who will not be spending time with friends and/or family. You would know this better than a recent transplant like my(sorry)self. Hey, just because you're not able to spend time with friends and family on Thanksgiving doesn't make you a freak — it's what you do while you're away from your loved...
Looking for a way to promote yourself all over Houston? You might consider becoming the sponsor of Houston's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Washington Mutual announced Wednesday it's pulling out as the parade's sponsor, leaving the Houston Festival Foundation Inc., which produces the parade, to find another corporate buddy.
Yellville, Arkansas hosts a “Turkey Trot Festival” each year. Up until 1989, it included dropping turkeys out of a low-flying plane. It inspired the sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati to write the script for the popular 1978 Thanksgiving episode where Les Nessman reported live while turkeys were being dropped from a helicopter onto the streets of Ohio (“As God as my witness, I thought turkey’s could fly,” said Station Manager Arthur Carlson, played by Gordon Jump)....
Don't forget on Turkey Day morning that the 56th Annual Washington Mutual Thanksgiving Day Parade will be rolling through downtown Houston. We at Houstonist love a good parade and, though ours may not be the biggest, we're one of the few parades in the country that can be enjoyed while wearing a t-shirt (the National Weather Service is calling for a temperature in the upper 70s in the afternoon. It should be in lower 60s when the parade starts with maybe a few clouds).
