Montrose

The NY Times has a very good feature on the Montrose neighborhood in Houston, the area I call home.

I really like the mention of the West Alabama Icehouse in the "restaurants" section at the bottom. Restaurant is a stretch, to be sure, but it's a cool blurb.

(03-23-02 Update) While I'm pimping Houston (a city that deserves much better than its reputation nationally), I should also link to Robb Walsh's column this week, which describes his trip exploring various Houston restaurants with cooking show host Rick Bayless. Here's Walsh quoting Bayless:

"Why aren't we reading about Houston in the national food press?" he asks. "I want to come back here on vacation just to eat all these cool ethnic foods."
