New CITYCENTRE restaurant ReikiNa is cooking up a unique dining experience for the Memorial District. ReikiNa offers a tasting menu with a European take on Asian cuisine. Business owners Andrew Herron and Thomas Stacy hope guests visit not only for a delicious meal but also for a new and exciting experience.

"I like to call it experiential fine dining because it is more than just dinner," Stacy said. He described ReikiNa as communal and explained that this aspect of the restaurant was something he enjoyed during dinner parties he has served in the past. "Many groups I served included folks who did not know each other. These seemed to be the most interesting and stimulating dinners, as these people had to find common ground and get out of their comfort zone."

For now, ReikiNa does not have a signature dish. Instead, the team plans to make new dishes every six to eight weeks. Dishes will offer cohesive coursing. Recent dishes have included Brussels sprouts, burrata, and kimchi; octopus, pink peppercorn, yuzu, and arbequina; uni, egg pasta, guanciale, trout roe, and bottarga; and more. A recent menu had a dish with honey nut squash, sake braised peppers, coconut yuzu pudding, and fried sage and shallots. Likewise, Stacy described a dish called Lights in the Mountain from a recent menu.

"It gave the experience of camping on the Continental Divide Trail," he said. "Eel consommĂŠ poured tableside represented a mountain lake. Khombu and melted leeks represented the marsh grass. Crispy grilled trout represented the mountainside, and blacklight reactive vitamin B50 was flicked on the rim of the bowls and revealed when the lights were turned off and the black light came on. I told guests that the stars were coming out on the mountain lake."

ReikiNa is full of personal touches. For example, guests choose vinyl records to play a soundtrack for their dining experience, or they can enjoy the sounds of the piano when Stacy plays at the end of the night. Similarly, guests can expect a community feeling when everyone dines around an 11-foot table and bar top that Stacy made from reclaimed barn wood. Furthermore, there will be a 106-foot art gallery wall showcasing local artists' work.

The name is a blend of two Japanese words that together refer to snacks paired with divine energy. This is what the ReikiNa team wants to give Houston in addition to presenting something entirely new to the area. They knew the Memorial District would be the perfect place for their restaurant because it is home to potential clientele with adventurous tastes. For now, ReikiNa offers 20 seats at a time. The space is large and open, so guests can feel comfortable and safe. According to Stacy, the reduced number of seats gives the restaurant a chance to offer extra details when crafting the menu and service.

"I hope I can bring a joyful artistic experience to the area," Stacy said, discussing the rapidly growing popularity of meals as an experience. He explained that ReikiNa wants guests to ask questions and learn something new every time they visit. "Many people are growing more interested in learning about food. People are longing to have an extraordinary experience after being isolated and living so cautiously for the past year. We plan to give them this experience. With ReikiNa I hope to bring a focus to how blessed we are to be alive and to help others find peace."

Houston TranStar’s It’s Only a White Line campaign helps avert accidents when motorists and pedestrians become stuck on local freeways. Furthermore, the campaign wants to prevent tragedies and help drivers move vehicles off the road to follow Texas’s Move Over or Slow Down law.

 

“We must also educate people about the dangers of getting out of the car, changing a tire or trying to cross the freeway on foot,” said Dinah Massie, Executive Director of Houston TranStar. Reportedly, 75 percent of stranded motorists who died in Harris County over a 10-year timespan were standing by their vehicles. Moreover, the risk of injury or death in a secondary crash increases every minute that a person is not in a safe place on the road.

 

 

The It’s Only a White Line initiative advises drivers to take steps when a problem arises. First, take the closest exit, even if it breaks the tire rim. Alternatively, pull as far off the road as possible. When you’re stranded, remain in the vehicle. Stay buckled up, turn on hazard lights, call for help and move your seat as far back as possible. In the Tow and Go service area, use TranStar’s free mobile app to call for a no-cost tow. The Tow and Go quick clearance program provides no-cost towing up to one mile for vehicles that break down from mechanical issues.

 

“We have representatives from incident management, law enforcement, transportation, medical research, hospital trauma and auto insurance who are providing incredible insight and guidance for preventing freeway deaths,” said Massie. TranStar recruited a cross-section of experts with a distinct relevance to this issue to serve on an It’s Only a White Line Leadership Council.

 

The campaign features helpful information in both English and Spanish. For example, check out these two graphics from the campaign.

 

 

 

It’s Only a White Line wants to clear up misconceptions about freeway accidents as well. For example, motorists sometimes think moving out of harm’s way after a crash will cause them to lose insurance coverage, but this is false.

 

“Your insurance carrier is first and foremost concerned with your safety,” said David Wuthrich, Executive Director of the Independent Insurance Agents of Houston and member of the It’s Only a White Line Leadership Council. “In the past, documenting a crash for insurance meant waiting for law enforcement at the scene, but getting out of danger is the first step. Taking pictures of the crash from within the safety of your vehicle, including photos of the other vehicle’s license plate, is the next important step. But getting off the freeway is the name of the game.”

Spring has arrived! It’s time to bury your coat in the back of the closet and bring out those beautiful spring dresses and golf shorts. Spring brings a breath of fresh air as we do away with the drab and bring out the sparkling, bright hues that make us smile once more. Let’s refresh our wardrobes with the latest styles and colors of the season. Michael Kors has brought out jewel-toned purses and clutches, the perfect accessories to complement any outfit. Coach has developed its Tabby purse into a soft pillowy version that comes in bright hues that work well as a swap out for the black winter season classic.

Anything Bling Boutique has these styles in the prettiest hues and patterns around. Pop in and check out their entire spring collection. Spring is also a chance to bring out your white pants or jeans. Pair them with a pastel or bright color top to make an outfit for any occasion. For example, check out the latest fun spring outfits at Marlo Miller Boutique.

Take out your shades and hit the District’s restaurant patios. Try the oyster platters at The Rouxpour, paired with a lemon drop martini or a Bloody Mary. What a delightful way to spend an afternoon. In the mood for pasta? Head on over to Maggiano’s Little Italy and try their shrimp Cacio e Pepe with delicious, made-from-scratch lemon parmesan sauce. Feel like a flight? No, not at the airport. We mean at State Fare, where you can get brunch and choose from beer flights and mimosa flights. Stop into Kirby Ice House Memorial or Torchy’s Tacos for a relaxing afternoon. Similarly, check out the cool vibes at the Tasting Room.

Give a warm welcome to the Memorial District's newest restaurant, KP's Kitchen, an elegant bistro that serves American fare for Houston's food lovers. This impressive eatery uses fresh, local ingredients and offers counter and table service.

KP's Kitchen is in a prime spot between the Village Cobbler and Orange Theory Fitness, across from Beautique Salon. Conceptualizing the business, KP thought about European bistros where guests were like family and owners engaged in the process.

Owner Kerry "KP" Pauly gained experience at other popular Houston establishments before beginning the restaurant. The Memorial District was a perfect fit for Pauly's venture because his family lives in the area, and his children attend Memorial Middle School. Pauly created KP's Kitchen to give Houston families a place to gather and make memories over delectable meals.

"I wanted to create an upscale environment people could visit after tennis or after a wedding—a place where all are welcome," Pauly said.

Signature dishes include highlights like KP's Bistro Burger and KP's Crab Cakes. The chicken is of the highest quality and always tender, and the filet mignon is certified Angus beef. For dessert, try the double chocolate chip cookies. Furthermore, while KP's Kitchen obtains its beer-and-wine license, the restaurant is BYOB with a reasonable corkage fee per table.

"Wherever possible, we try to support local businesses, such as Thirdborn Ginger Beer," Pauly said. "Also, local artists often supply our art, including calligraphy from a high school student at Memorial High School." Speaking of supporting local business, the KP's Kitchen menu includes Gulf Red Snapper with tomato-brown butter, a meal with seafood from local fishmonger Blue Horizon.

In addition to providing the Memorial District with fantastic dishes, the restaurant strives to give back to the community through local school spirit nights and raising awareness of important causes and organizations, such as Books for Kids.

"I always wanted to own a restaurant that could give back to the community," Pauly said, "And I wanted to create the perfect, approachable bistro here in the Memorial District."

Launching a restaurant always involves a focus on health and safety, and nowadays, the bar has been raised. Fortunately, KP's Kitchen knows how to help guests enjoy a delicious meal in a safe, upscale restaurant experience.

"We hope to create a culture where safety and sanitation are top priorities along with gratitude," Pauly said. "We want guests to know we are available for all their dining, take-out, and catering needs, and we are thankful they chose our space to celebrate their life moments. We are excited to become the Memorial District's neighborhood bistro and can hardly wait to meet everyone!"

The Memorial District’s newest hotel, Holiday Inn Express, just opened its doors and is already a success. Conveniently located at 10500 Katy Freeway, it has 123 rooms and approximately 2,000 square feet of meeting and pre function space. Amenities include a pool, outside patio with TVs, and a coffee bar.

Alif Maredia, president and owner of PA Hospitality, chose this location based upon its proximity to the Memorial District and all that it has to offer. “We want to be here in this location, and we wanted to go above and beyond with a strong upper mid-scale hotel,” said Maredia. “We have invested in additional luxurious amenities that go above and beyond the standards of Holiday Inn Express to stay on brand with the other premium hotels in the Memorial District.” “Our hotel includes luxury bedding, higher end furnishings, vibrant lighting around the building, and a larger pool area with ambient lighting and a covered patio.”

With quality meeting space, free parking, and internet, the hotel will meet the demands of business travel and accommodate visitors to the area. Business travelers enjoy the hotel surroundings of the many upscale restaurants, shopping, team building activities, and places to socialize after a busy day with clients.

It is already a popular venue for guests attending tournaments at the nearby Baseball USA facility. With reasonable room rates and upscale amenities, the new Holiday Inn Express is a great addition to the Memorial District.

 

February is Heart Health Awareness Month. This year, there are more considerations than usual around heart health. According to cardiologist Razvan Dadu, MD, at Memorial Hermann Medical Group Comprehensive Heart Care, COVID-19 affects cardiovascular health. Dadu indicates in an article for Memorial Hermann that people should pay attention to heart health, especially after age 50 and in the pandemic. He outlines concerns, such as weight, nutrition and fitness, blood pressure, and habits.
"Increased body weight increases the risk of hypertension, or high blood pressure, and diabetes," Dadu says, reminding readers of the benefits of a healthy diet and regular fitness routine to balance body weight. He recommends 30 minutes of moderate aerobic activity a day, which can mean different things. "Brisk walking, swimming, or mowing the lawn involve aerobic exercise, which has been shown to help maintain, and even improve, your heart health."
The benefits of moderate activity include the reduction of blood pressure and cholesterol levels. When these points go unchecked, they lead to larger issues like atherosclerosis. On the other hand, when people eat well and work out, they increase their lifespan and enjoy each day more. Not smoking helps, too.
"Having a cardiologist who knows your health and family history can help you manage these risk factors and intervene before cardiovascular disease becomes severe," Dadu says. Unfortunately, some heart patients who worry about contracting COVID-19 at a health clinic or hospital have stopped visiting cardiologists during the pandemic. Dadu urges people to put their worries aside and seek medical care for heart health. Hospitals like Memorial Hermann here in the Memorial District take every precaution to reduce coronavirus spread, so it is important to keep appointments and continue focusing on heart health.
"The best thing to do is to avoid contracting COVID-19," Dadu said about keeping your heart healthy and strong during the pandemic. Some of his broader recommendations for health and safety in February and during but also pandemic may sound familiar. He encourages people to follow guidelines from the CDC and other health officials, wear a face mask in public, keep a distance of at least 6 feet from others, and wash their hands frequently and thoroughly. Then, report new symptoms to healthcare providers. "That's the best way to protect your heart."
Valentine’s day is right around the corner, and the Memorial District is here to help you get ready for the day of love.
