Missed Connections: The Sentimental-Slash-Twee in Houston
It's always sunny in Houston -- except in the winter, when it's occasionally flash flooded. But locals prefer its steamy environs, and you might, too, if you met one of them in these sweet spots:
House of Pies -- What's better than a piecentric restaurant? A 24-hour piecentric restaurant! If you're not a fan of baked goodies, you can also get food here -- but you won't able to resist pulling a Kyle-McLachlan-in-"Twin Peaks" and ordering a slice of rhubarb, cherry or apple with some damn fine coffee. It's the cute cop's answer to Dunkin' Donuts. 6142 Westheimer Rd.
The Lobby Lounge at the Four Seasons Hotel -- Bring your "executive friends" to this couch-stuffed corner featuring "around the world tapas." (Mmm, tapas.) While the World Series is still going on, you can even use the pretext of "watching the ballgame" to watch the watchers. 1300 Lamar St.
Pub Fiction -- Despite its pun-tastic name, we would totally take our male friends there for $6 pitchers till 8 pm and perhaps a friendly game of pool. 2303 Smith St.
