Placid and austere, shady and cloistered, Bunker Hill Village is ideal for starting a family. From the top-notch schools available both private and public down to the atmosphere, it’s not hard to imagine a brood that looks like you riding tricycles up and down the streets.

Pastoral charm of the area was perfect for horseback riding in the 1930’s. As the gentry sold the plots, the area retained a sort of arboreal charm and quite a bit of park area. Many smaller […]
Radical Eats markets itself as a vegan and vegetarian eatery in Houston. Conveniently located in the Montrose area, this is a draw for many local residents, but don’t be deceived by your own carnivorous desires: Radical Eats has some pretty radically excellent food.
