Most Missed: Houston

In a car-crazed city like H-town, it's no wonder most missed connections listings have phrases like "You were at the light" or "We got pulled over together." Step out of the vehicle, put your hands behind your head and find your cough syrup-swilling other half at these places instead:

Barnaby's
604 Fairview St.
-- This local chain with four locations around Houston has a place for all your comfort-food needs, but 604 Fairview in the heart of the artsy, gay-friendly Montrose neighborhood is the original -- the perfect place to tuck into some meatloaf or some smoked chicken tostadas. And anyone looks good next to those cartoon steaks (above)!

Catbirds Lounge
1336 Westheimer Rd.
-- Any bar with its own MySpace account is definitely ready to mingle. If you don't have plans for Sunday's Academy Awards yet, why not drop by for some $2 Miller Lite pints? We're sure Oscar nominee Helen Mirren would want you to drink in her honor.

Houston Galleria
5085 Westheimer Rd., Ste. 4850
-- We know what you're thinking: the last time you met someone at the mall, you were still listening to Milli Vanilli. But the massive Galleria is a great place to see a lot of people, quickly -- like a busy bar without that haze of alcohol. Catch her eye in line to go ice skating, or offer to buy him some Jelly Bellys at Dylan's Candy Bar.

If you're ever traveling through Houston on business, plan ahead and book a limo or sedan service with ECSNationwide.com. That's my recommendation.
