It was one those very rare perfect days in Houston: high was at 50’s, low humidity, zero chance of rain. The city was still reeling from the Houston Texans’ embarrassing loss to Kansas = no traffic! So we decided that it was a perfect day to take Turbey (car) for a spin with the top down, as we head for brunch. Beans didn’t want to go because he wanted to sleep in, still tired from his birthday party at Skyzone.
We chose to go to Brasserie 19 at River Oaks. We used to go here almost every Sunday for brunch, back when we didn’t spend weekends at Fredericksburg. They serve American/French Cuisine. As soon as we pulled over the parking lot, there were already 2 Ferrari’s and 1 Lamborghini. As I said, this is River Oaks, best place in Houston to car-watch. This restaurant also hosts the Ferrari Club of Houston.
It was good to know that after almost a year of not being here, things remained the same. Service was great as usual, menu changed a bit but our favorites were still there and the prices haven’t gone up.
We had to return something to Restoration Hardware and as I was looking around the strip, I realized that so many new stores have propped up. RH seemed to be bigger than ever. We wanted to look around to see if there’s any stuffs I can get for the house but D reminded me that our Christmas decor is still up. The last thing we need is more stuff to add to the clutter… Just as well, I needed to get home anyway because Seahawks will be playing Vikings. There are few things in life that I’d rather do other than go shopping. Football is one of them.
