Nary a day goes by that my co-worker and I wonder what is to be had for lunch! With the Shops at Houston Center a few footsteps away, it usually receives enormous gratitude for its proximity, and sometimes we venture into the tunnels.
Ohhhh those tunnels that reach 7 miles in all that require a day of stepping into the map to figure out where to go…I have yet to master them. They do provide a nice respite from the hot, summer sun and when a new eatery arrives, you can hear the faint applause of downtown workers ready to try something new. Here’s a helpful map should you want to try to venture down below: http://www.houstondowntown.com/Home/GeneralInfo/GettingAround/Maps/AboveBelow/ [PDF]
Chicken breast pita, chocolate chip cookie, Miss Vicki's jalapeno chips & a Diet Coke = $8.95
Here’s What’s For Lunch (let us know what you are having for lunch downtown to Heather[at]downtownhouston.org and we’ll post them.) Just a simple camera phone shot will do. Nothing gross please : ) This is about promoting eating!
Pita Pit employees infectious energy and enthusiasm combined with upbeat music pumping through the speakers made us even more excited about What's For Lunch!
Today we stepped out for The Pita Pit! It opened last Wednesday and I have been hearing raves about this place from my co-worker as she used to eat there when she lived in Austin. People were standing outside the storefront (and by outside, I still mean inside the tunnel!) rubbing their fingers on their chin just pondering how many combinations you can make with a pita. This place has tons! And the staff is eager and happy to help you. Plus the Spice Girls “Wannabe” playing in the background made me want to bop as I ordered.
Also, we are on a quest for the best chocolate chip cookie — so — stay tuned!! If you know of the best chocolate chip cookie place downtown, e-mail melissa[at]downtownhouston.org.
We will alternate What’s For Lunch and Wind Down Downtown each week so we keep everything in moderation….including our stomachs and livers! : )
