Not So Grand Lux Cafe
So I was going to go to the Grand Lux Cafe for dinner last night but couldn't do it. First off, the place is so big you could herd sheep in it, if it doesn't seat 400-500 I'd be surprised. Second, it looked a little trendier than I first thought, and I was alone wearing dirty pants, not a good fit. But what made me turn away were the three (three!) women that walked in the door wearing fur coats as I was approaching. I've got nothing against wearing fur, but it was 50 degrees for Christ's sake. I guess if you have a fur and live in Houston you can't be too picky about your opportunities to wear it, but still, it made me hot just looking at them.
So I walked down Westheimer (heretofore known as Gray Ghost Blvd) for about 20 minutes, didn't pass a single person walking, and found an Italian restaurant with a band playing and the such, it was ok, skimpy beer list, Sorrento's was the name I think. I watched a Mexican soap opera with the bartender and had the manocotti.
