 There are five crucial questions a journalist must ask (and, ideally, answer) when researching and developing a story: Who, What, Where, When, and Why. These Five W's, along with a bonus "How" for further clarity, will preclude each blog post to provide proper insight into this weird, wild nomadic journey. The Five W's + H: Who: Meet the Pages: Christina (nurse with the travel thirst), Sophie (cat with a knack for licking her own butt crack) and me (writer and general delighter) What: Top 5 places to drink up Where: Houston, Texas When: March 2022 - July 2022 Why: While Christina spent the majority of her childhood living in H-Town, she never lived outside of her hometown suburbs in Spring, Texas. This trip allowed her to see more of the city she only saw sporadically growing up. As a bonus, my uncle lives close to the city, and her parents still live about an hour north. It was the perfect opportunity to be close to family and enjoy Houston in a way neither of us had experienced. + How: We reversed course and retraced our steps through 1200 miles and 19 hours of drive time. Once again, we navigated through Arizona and New Mexico, ended day one in familiar El Paso, trekked through Texas, and ended our second day with a foray in Fredericksburg. After three days on the road we finally made it to Christina's original stomping ground: Houston, Texas.

(Note: As of this writing, Covid-19—aka the plague—has infected more than 20 million people and killed at least 350,000 souls here in the United States alone. Because of the pandemic, many restaurants have closed either temporarily or for good. It's especially important to support local businesses during these tough times, and virtually all of the restaurants on this list are locally owned and operated. Also to keep with the times, all of the restaurants listed below feature outdoor eating areas and/or offer to-go ordering. Mask up, stay socially distanced and stay safe out there.)
