IKEA

7810 Katy Fwy
Houston, TX 77024

Cory O. writes: After hearing about IKEA for years (my friends used to drive to Houston just to furnish their apartment), I finally made the plunge and checked it out. Wow. When we pulled into the parking lot, I knew it was going to be huge, but I was not prepared…

The Galleria
Neighborhood: Galleria/Uptown

5085 Westheimer Road
Houston, TX 77056

Lisa A. writes: The Galleria reminds me of how much money there is in Houston and how little there is in my checking account.

I made the mistake of parking by Neiman Marcus and walking in to the purse section. (They have purses that cost more than my car.) It took…

Memorial City Mall
Neighborhood: Memorial

303 Memorial City
Houston, TX 77024

Connie B. writes: Rather than echo the sentiments of my esteemed fellow yelpers, I'll just give you the one new reason why I like Memorial City Mall so much. Not only does the mall contain a great many diversions for the under-5 set, but there are also private rooms…

The Rothko Chapel
Neighborhood: Montrose

1409 Sul Ross St
Houston, TX 77006

Lisa A. writes: I might be an anomaly but I don't find the Rothko chapel serene or really even peaceful. The windowless, brick building houses Rotko's darkest work -- the last paintings he created before he committed suicide. Rothko worked the last six years of his…

Borders Books
Neighborhood: Upper Kirby

3025 Kirby Dr
Houston, TX 77098

High Fashion Home
Neighborhood: Midtown, Fourth Ward

3100 Travis St
Houston, TX 77006

Lisa A. writes: I stopped in High Fashion Home on a whim to see what kind of desks they might have and I ended up walking around with mouth hanging wide open for the next 30 minutes as I browsed through their amazing selection of furniture, rugs, bedding, art,…

Fry's Electronics
Neighborhood: Hidden Valley

10241 North Fwy
Houston, TX 77037

Sam V. writes: An account of my first visit to Fry's:

I step into the sliding doors and am greeted by a man holding a book. The lights are bright. Very bright indeed.

"Welcome to Fry's!" he said
"Fry's?" I asked as I quickly scoped the aisles and aisles of…

Mega Marshalls
Neighborhood: Montrose, River Oaks

1450 West Gray Street
Houston, TX 77019

Liz S. writes: I don't usually like discount stores, due to their inclinations toward masses of unattended children, surly dressing room attendants, and cram-and-stash merchandising techniques. Maybe it's the River Oaks location that makes this Mega Marshalls…

Houston Plants & Garden World

20415 Katy Fwy
Katy, TX 77450

Otto K. writes: Great selection, reasonable prices, and DELIVERY IS AVAILABLE (unlike the nurseries with the red tents).

Neighborhood: Galleria/Uptown

1131 Uptown Park Blvd
Houston, TX 77056

Moments in Time

17021 FM 529
Houston, TX 77095

Beth C. writes: This is a new scrapbook store, fully stocked with all kinds of supplies, but the best thing is they offer stuff made just for each of the local schools in their school colors. They are willing to order anything you want if you don't see it on their…

Flagship Randalls
Neighborhood: Braeswood Place

18111 Egret Bay Blvd
Houston, TX 77058

Dare Ware

9019 Westheimer Rd
Houston, TX 77063

2922 S Shepherd Dr
Houston, TX 77098

Fayza E. writes: How could I not be totally in love with a bookstore housed in an old theatre?

Despite the fact that this is, on the inside, a Barnes & Noble (I think it used to be a B. Dalton before my time as a Houstonian), this bookstore wins hands-down for…

Cindie's
Neighborhood: Montrose, Upper Kirby

3507 S Shepherd Dr
Houston, TX 77098

Fayza E. writes: Being a staple in the Houston adult store culture, I'm guessing some of you have most definitely patronized Cindie's in the past. Maybe you're a little shy to go ahead and review it, because then you might have to own up to your fetishes. And…
