Best Movie Theaters in Houston

My personal favorite movie theater in Houston is Edwards in the Galleria. They are more expensive than most but they have big screens, nicest chairs and offer a wide array of nosh especially my favorite drink: frozen ICEE Coke flavor. My second favorite theater and the best deal in Houston is AMC Colony 24 in Sugarland. Movies before 12 PM are just $6 and they even serve beer & liquor if that interests you. Interested in eating a meal with your movie then check out the Alamo Drafthouse. My 2 other favorites are AMC Lowes Fountain 18. The seats are not bad a bit small but they serve the ICEE cokes.The other is AMC Studio 30  which has a large array of movies and also offers $6 before 12 pm. You can always check online for special deals like a free drink or free soda as these add up your costs. Also if you are a frequent movie goer, it always pays to join a club like stubs for AMC or Regal Club which is free.


What is your favorite theater?

Best Hair Salons in Houston

Looking for a great hair stylist can be a real chore. A few bad placed snips and you might end up hiding your head in a cap for a real long time. A great salon in the Greenway/upper Kirby area that is very well reviewed is SOK Salon on Kirby. This salon also offers some before and after photos as well. If your looking for a salon in the Montrose section of Houston, may I suggest another well received salon in Houston: Cut Loose.

Try a highly rated salon such as David Etc, located in the Heights. They even have a price list on their website.  I hope you find this listing helpful. Do you have a favorite Salon?

Cheapest Dentist in Houston

Dentistry can get pretty expensive.From braces to deep cleaning to crowns. Dental work is not cheap even with insurance! The question becomes: where can I get quality dentistry at a price I can afford? I have dental insurance and have gone to a few dentists and after getting the bill my teeth were not the only thing that was hurting. Someone mentioned going to the Dental School in Houston but I didn't feel like being some dentists guinea pig. I spoke to a neighbor who was in the UT Health School of Dentistry and he explained that the professors were around to check all the work and they would have 30 + yrs experience. I decided to give it a try and my wallet thanked me. You should expect things to take a bit longer as paperwork needs to be filled out and their work needs to be looked over. It is time well spent in my opinion as even after most insurance your cost will be 40-60% less. If you are having some major dentistry work you could be saving thousands of dollars. To apply as a patient you need to fill out a form and they should contact you to schedule a x-ray for an evaluation.

Best Window Treatment Company in Houston

Looking for blinds or shades for your home? Sure you can go to Lowes or Home Depot or your local shop.The truth is, in Houston the best place to go for blinds is online at Blinds.com. Although located in Houston, they are not a store but an online retailer. Therefore shipping time should be about 1-2 days till you get what you want. They even offer free samples! Their prices are more competitive than the big stores and their customer service is simply fabulous. They even have a guarantee that your blinds will fit (aka sure-fit guarantee). This is one website you must checkout. If you have not seen their latest youtube video commercials you must check them out: click here

Best Bike Shops in Houston

Which bike shop is best for you may depend on your needs and expectations. If you are a more serious cyclist or would like to become one, then Daniel Boone Cycles may very well be the place for you. These bikes are certainly not going to be cheap but their staff should be quite knowledgeable and they offer great services.

Looking for something less expensive? Planetary Cycles may be the place for you. They are a smaller store so if  a few people come in at once, be prepared to wait. 

If you are the outdoorsy type who loves cycling then REI is the place for you. This is one of the better reviewed stores I've seen and people seem to really love their return policy and service. They do have sales
and a membership that can get you a 10% back but it's not cheap. 

Another well reviewed bike store that offers fairly competitive pricing is West End Cycles. They offer a nice selection from entry level to higher end bikes.

If you have a favorite bike store in Houston, let us know about it.
