The Woodlands is a sprawling forested suburb 30 minutes north of Houston. Yeah we get it. Suburbs get the rap for being boring islands of upper-class privilege without distinction, culture or diversity. You think of strip malls, chain restaurants and manicured lawns. Does the The Woodlands have these? Yes. But a huge influx of entrepreneurs and creatives are changing the landscape making it more eclectic and interesting. The Woodlands is truly a town built within the woods. It has over 160 miles of trails and greenbelts and over 111 parks. Most businesses can’t be seen directly from the street but rather peek out behind stands of trees, but if you look harder there are wonderful things to find. Some of the places we’ve included are considered to be in neighboring Spring but this is Texas and neighbors here borrow things all the time.
Hooray! Beignets!
With two serving areas surrounding a 65 item salad bar and small market, Hubbell & Hudson has created a refined yet laid back atmosphere. The food is true to its comfort food origins, modern and distinct. A true fine dining experience with a 200 wine bottle selection and a self service casual feel. Beautiful not intimidating. Don’t forget Gelato.
