Let's fulfill some of those New Year's Resolutions!

I don’t know about you, but one of my resolutions for the year 2o23 is to explore more of Houston. We have such a diverse city around us, and it is a shame that so often I find myself bored in my apartment instead of getting out there and trying the latest and greatest new Houston businesses! If you feel the same way, don’t worry.

We’ve created this New year, New in HOU list to showcase some exciting new businesses for you to try.  Let us know which are your favorites, because we can’t choose! ?
