Just so you know, Houstonist has never had the urge to live in a luxury high-rise. Sure, we might keep a weekend place for those times we jet up to New York, but in general, we prefer a home that's closer to the ground. But we know some people think it would be great to have a deluxe apartment in the sky, and with that in mind, we bring you this 22nd-floor unit at...

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...

Surely you've heard of the national spinach scare caused by some apparently tainted greens from California that have made more than a hundred people sick with E. coli and killed one elderly woman. But this weekend, KHOU reported on a new local twist in the story: A truck driver was arrested in Fort Bend County for allegedly dumping a load of spinach and pre-packaged salad greens in the San Bernard River. Whereas this would usually...

If it's in season, Houstonist will find a culinary use for it — even mundane mint comes in handy for mojitos and juleps, and it adds a lot to fresh vegetables, free-range chicken and lamb. But where can you go to find organic produce in Houston? We have some ideas: In addition to the tried, true and terribly fabulous Whole Foods Market and Central Market, there are several area farmer's markets to explore. We particularly...

We were floored to read a KHOU report about a small, but growing, sect of Americans who actually choose not to eat meat — and some of them are right here in Houston. "Vegetarians here?" we sputtered into our mid-afternoon cured meat snack plate. "The hell you say!" But it seems to be true: In a story headlined "Gone veggie: Trend to stop eating meat hits Houston," Channel 11 reports that almost 3 percent of...

So we're coming to this late, but it's still worth a mention: If you know of a locally produced food product that you think everyone else should get exposed to, tell Whole Foods Market and you could end up with an extra $100. It's part of WFM's Go Local program, which was announced last month, and here's how it works: If you find a local product Whole Foods doesn't carry, e-mail go.local@wholefoods.com with the poduct...

If the Mixed Media Music Series at the MFAH a couple of weeks ago didn't quench your thirst for getting your groove on in the Museum Disrict, take heart: You have another chance tonight, and every Friday through Aug. 25, at the Houston Museum of Natural Science's Mixers, Elixirs & IMAX series.

Even though the traffic will be so thick we're sure we'll never get to go there, Houstonist was excited to learn this morning that a super-sized Whole Foods Market flagship store is coming to Uptown. Whole Foods announced it will build an 80,000-square-foot store in the unfortunately named BLVD Place (which, the Chronicle tells us, is pronounced "Boulevard Place" — so, uh, why not just name it that?), a 21-acre mixed-use development at the corner...
