Catch of the Day

The Quick Breakdown
-Yummy seafood.

The Atmosphere
-Fish market/seafood restaurant. You walk in and see a cooler with fresh fish and shrimp. They just changed their location so it looked like there was still a little work to be done. Don't let appearances stop you from ordering.

The Food
-The 1 fish + 6 shrimp combination platter. Served with bread, hush puppies, and french fries. The seafood was fresh and well seasoned. SOO GOOD I had to come back the next day. It's been quite a while since I have enjoyed fried fish this much.

Damage done to wallet
-$5.79

Feeling in my belly afterwards
-Stuffed

Tony's New York Pizza

The Quick Breakdown
- The Best Pizza in Houston
The Atmosphere
- A friendly pizza parlor complete with a TV, air hockey table, a couple of video game machines. Feels like you are in New York. All that's missing is a couple of loud Yankees fans.

The Food
-A pepperoni pizza with a few slices cheese only(my girls like cheese only). I haven't had a pizza like this since I've been in NYC. It's almost a religious experience. I don' care what part of town you are in it's definitely worth the trip for this pizza.




-A Gino's Cherry Italian Ice. Tony has these treats shipped down from up north. One spoonful and you know exactly why. Sweet, light, and tasty without the frozen over consistency of the supermarket Italian Ices. Again like being in NYC.

What is Italian Ice?
Damage done to wallet
-Pizza $13
-Italian Ice $2
