Best Places In Houston

For most Houston residents when asked "where are the best kosher bagels in Houston"? The answer is almost always the same: NY Bagels . Looking for great cream cheese without paying a fortune? Check out Randalls assortment of cream cheeses from Lucerne. They are top quality, a fraction of the cost of the bagel stores and come in great flavors! They even come in small one use sizes as pictured.

The best pizza sauce is without question is Don Pepino . It has a new pop top can for easy opening. The crush tomatoes and seasonings make it a perfect sauce for pizza that can't be beat. The only place I have found it in Houston is Kroger  in the Kosher aisle.

City Search has listed the best Gyms in Houston .

Kroger has a full service kosher Bakery, Deli and Fish (Sushi) department. Randalls has all of this as well but sells other items hot such as burgers for only $4. HEB sells packaged meats and packaged bakery goods. Belden's has a kosher meat department but no kosher fish department. Best Fish Department:  Kroger  . Although Randalls has a nice Fish dept. you seem to  find a greater assortment of kosher fish at Kroger (at least I have). Best Meat Department:  Randalls : Cuts are better than  Kroger  and although Belden's might have even better ones they are  more expensive.
