This is a guide of my favorite restaurants, bars, hangouts, museums, theaters, shows andevents, and places my friends and I go to all the time. I put this together so that everyone visiting my hometown of Houston has an insider's view to what's hot and where to go.

Nic's Picks is divided into sections and catagories:

Eat & Drink    places to eat and drink, just eat at, just drink at, or get something quick around town

Nightlife   places to go for a night out; bars, clubs, hangouts, and lounges not necessarily known for their food offerings

Events   special events and performances

Shop   here you'll find the special stores you won't find other places

Explore   these are places to see while you're here; museums, galleries, sites, parks, etc.

Everything here is real and really are the spots I hit regularly when I'm home in Houston. If you would like my help in planning let me know. Feel free to contact me through the site!
