Peli Peli takes its name from the most identifiable spice in South African cuisine. The sampler, Flavors of South Africa, is a great introduction to the delicious dishes created by Peli Peli’s chefs. Luckily for those of you in the center of town, you no longer have to go to Northwest Houston for a taste of South Africa. Peli Peli opened another location in The Galleria last year, and the food is just as good.

Whether you have a flair for the dramatic and prefer your patty covered in chili, or like to keep things simple, Stanton’s City Bites has something for you. If hamburgers aren’t your preference, the sandwich selection is also more than enough to keep you satisfied.

Toaster’s is a small brunch spot across from the University of Houston-Downtown and near the start of the Heights Bike Trail.

The renovated space that Arlo’s Ballroom calls home is cozy and reminiscent of a party in college, but with a fog machine, stronger drinks, and more attractive people. You will be singing along to Celine Dion one minute, and showcasing your best dance moves under the disco ball the next.

The local music community in Houston is known for being tight-knit and supportive, and nothing exemplifies that more than the existence of The Waughford in Washington Heights.
