If you’re a fan of Brasil, the ppl who own it also run a bookstore right next door – Domy. It’s full of design books, comics, zines, locally published and self-published work, art….. its basically like an incredibly well curated coffee table. There’s also one in Austin.

On another note, don’t miss Smith’s Opticians in Midtown for an AMAZING selection of frames. It’s completely disorganized but cheap as hell and full of thousands of vintagey frames back to the 30’s through the present that you’d never find anywhere else. Worth digging into.

For Tini from Argentina:
Absinthe Brasserie is a great little place on Richmond Ave. at Greeley St. in Montrose. A Buenos Aires family owns and operates it. So you can eat and/or drink with a lovely family who will make you feel at home.

For everyone:
A new restaurant opened in the Heights, named Lola. It’s on Yale at 11th St. Delicious! It’s news because the Heights is somewhat lacking in the number of restaurants you’d expect to find in a neighborhood so close to downtown. Also, a great little fun boutique named Hello Lucky on Studewood at 10th St. opened recently. I read about it in a local magazine article titled, “That’s Soooo Houston.” It’s a cute read. Check it out. See the link

Oh, for Tini from Argentina:
Absinthe Brasserie on Richmond Ave. at Greeley St. in Montrose is owned and operated by a lovely Argentine family from Buenos Aires, the Racines. Check it out. And they serve food until 2am.

There is a fun Houston design themed article from Houston House & Home magazine titled, “That’s Soooo Houston.” That quintessential Houston look is revealed from a diverse group of well known Houstonians. It’s a very telling article.
