ON OUR RADAR
GO GREEN FOR HAPPY HOUR
Whether you skipped lunch and are experiencing a late afternoon
slump or just need to relax with friends before the commute home
from work, HS Green, located at 5092 Richmond Ave., now offers
happy hour relief Monday through Friday from 3-7pm. The wine list
at the neighborhood favorite has been expanded to include selec-
tions from major wine regions around the globe and the beer menu
now sports 14 brews, featuring locally produced favorites such as
8th Wonder and Saint Arnold. At $3 per beer and $5 for wines
by-the-glass, it’s hard to resist sampling a few. Bar bites and small
plates range from $2.50–$6 and feature nourishing snacks along
with a few guilty pleasures. Nibble on a cheese plate with three
cheeses, fruit, nuts and flatbread or the crave-worthy fried pickles and
jalapenos with jalapeno ranch dip. www.hsgreen.menu
IT’S A SNAP
Snappy Salads has opened its third Houston location at 1000 Main. 1000
Main is connected directly to the Downtown Tunnel System and located in
front of the Main Street Square MetroRail Stop. Snappy Salads has proven
that even salad-hating people will change their minds after trying their top-sell-
ing Grilled Avocado Salad with Chipotle Lime Vinaigrette. The new Riced
Cauliflower Salad and the nutrient-dense Bam Bam Salad also have allowed
Snappy Salads’ guests the opportunity to discover that healthy and nutritious
food can be satisfying. “Houstonians have been so supportive of our growth
in this market that we decided to continue our expansion here,“ said Chris
Dahlander, founder. “We’re looking forward to converting more Houstonians
into ‘Snapsters’ with our satisfying and craveable salads.” www.snappysalads.com
