I love Reiner's. I bought my fiancee's engagement ring here, and have come back for gifts and our wedding bands.

Each time I've visited Steven has greeted me by name and makes me feel welcome.

They know how to work in a budget you give them and they don't try to push you into anything.

Love this place.

They have everything. If I had my way I'd buy every toy that they have in the store that I used to have as a kid.

The staff is very friendly and helpful.

There is a subscription discount as well.

And from what the guys at the shop say they are working on getting the parking lot re-paved.

Josephine's Ristorante - CLOSED

Neighborhood: Downtown

One of my favorite places in Houston to eat.

My favorite is the spaghetti in meat sauce. Yum.

Great atmosphere, we've only had a waiter that we didn't like once, but after the meal he told us he had only been working there a few days, so that explained the service. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't prompt or what we have experienced before, but this doesn't change anything for us.

And I always finish up each mean with a cannoli. They are very good, and a little tart. I think they could use a few more chocolate chips on them.

The only downside to Josephine's is that there is no parking lot so you either have to valet it, or find street parking. The pay lot right next door charges you the price that they would charge someone parking their for the House of Blues (directly across the street) if there is an even going on there. The pay lot does have a machine that accepts cash and credit cards.

Brooklyn Pizzeria

Hands down the best pizza you will ever eat outside of New York and New Jersey, and I should know, I'm from there.

The pizzeria is operated by a family that moved down to Houston from Brooklyn and have brought everything that is New York pizza here to the Lone Star State.

The ingredients come from Piscataway, NJ so you know that this is 100% authentic "real" pizza. Not that crap that a lot of places in this city like to call pizza.

The family is incredibly nice and helpful, and their staff is the same.

During baseball season they always have the Yankees on which is a breath of fresh air for this Jersey Boy.

If you are in Humble and think you know good pizza you owe it to yourself to go to Brooklyn Pizzeria and have a slice or six.

We now live downtown but we still make the trip up to Humble for this pizza, or I pick it up whenever I am in the area and bring it home and reheat it.

If you call a pizza place and try to order a large pie and they are confused, hang up because that's not pizza. Brooklyn Pizzeria is pizza.

Great prices and great snocones.

I've been there a few times and I prefer the fruity flavors. The root beer was okay, but it tasted weird to me. I later realized it was because it wasn't carbonated like regular root beer and that was what was throwing me off.

There is a big open lot with picnic tables, perfect for families but it is close to a major road in the Heights so you'll have to keep the kids close.

Lucky Burger is one of my favorite dives for food. On the recommendation from the Houstonist website we checked this place out and have been back several times.

We get the same thing every time, burgers, dry for me, the works for my wife, and tots and crinkle fries. I love those crinkle fries, that's mainly why I go there.

It does get warm in there and the lady who works the counter is kind of odd but the food is worth it.

Went there for the second time last night and it was just as good as the first time. The food is good, fresh and cooked fast, although the service is a little slow.

Also they play the same CD on repeat. We were there to listen to it three and a half times.

Great little place, and if you go early enough you'll most likely have the place to yourselves. I'd definitely recommend this place.

Also they probably have the best cannoli in Houston.
