I am enjoying the Google Toolbar and Side Wiki. I was previously very "anti-toolbar"! But, now I see several useful benefits.

Love Crave Cupcakes!
We recently went here for the third time. We have never been disappointed. The cupcakes are awesome and are really fresh.
With the traffic levels they get, I would guess the cupcakes never make it to maybe an hour old.
Chocolate cake with chocolate icings is always my favorite. We have also had some incredible lemon ones too. I'm glad to see they are opening a West U location this summer.
This is a must try dessert experience!
Enjoyed it!
My wife and I recently were in the Uptown area of Houston and were looking for a place to eat. I use Yelp a lot to find places...I just drive to a location and turn on Yelp on my iPhone. It is a great tool.
So, we read the review of Ciao Bello and decided to check it out.
It's in a strip mall but once you enter the dark solid wood entry doors, you are entering a chic and fashionably upscale interior. The bar are is really attractive ad all the dining area is behind the bar. There is a patio dining area too.
Service was beyond what I was expecting. We had no less than 5 people attending to us when we sat down. A different person helped my wife and myself with our chair and our napkin!
Everything lived up to our immediate impression. Food was excellent and service remained excellent. Yelp had a 2 star rated price...it's not. Its' more like 3 stars. Dinner entrees starting in the mid teens and into the high $20 range. We spent about $80 without getting dessert...just dinner and a glass of wine each.
The food and experience is worth it though. Check it out.

Berripop in Humble
There is one of these that opened recently on 1960 in Humble. Going to definitely get out to this soon. I do miss the Kingwood TCBY that closed in 2008 but, they were kind of boring compared to Twist and now (Berripop from what I hear).
in reference to: Berripop Frozen Yogurt - Google Maps (view on Google Sidewiki)Twist is Awesome
We try to get out to Twist once a week. You can self serve and they charge by the ounce.
There is usually 6-8 different flavors and you can swirl some together or just mix from any of them. My favorite is the tart with chocolate or the tart with raspberry. There are about a dozen topping to choose from too! Enjoy!
Great Family of Restaurants
Our favorite Pappas restaurants are the Pappas Seafood Kitchen in Humble and the Pappadeux Cajun in the Champions Forest area.
One of my favorites at Pappas Seafood Kitchen is the Shimp and Jumbo Lump Crab salad along with a bowl of seafood gumbo. Delicious.
Great place to have an office
All-Tex Exteriors has been leasing from The Anchor for about 3 years. The suites come with everything! Phone, Fax, Internet, shared conference room, kitchen and restrooms.
The offices with a lake view are really nice and offer a serene view that is still city convenient.
We highly recommend The Anchor!
