Chowing in Houston

We had an amazing weekend getaway last month to Houston- saw a free performance of CATS at Miller Outdoor Theater, went to a free electronic music festival at Discovery Green Park, and attended Japan Fest, which was a free Japanese festival at Hermann Park.  Oh, and did I mention everything was free? :-)

Didn't go too crazy with the eating out- went to a few cute places around the areas we were sightseeing.  CoCo's crepes was a must-visit for me because of my love for crepes.  They had all kinds of both savory & sweet crepes... and delicious fruit smoothies.
Mmmm... spinach and ricotta crepe with a sun dried tomato sauce, and a strawberry mango smoothie.
Must leave room for a dessert crepe!  I was so stuffed but managed to enjoy this anyway.  Nutella & strawberries inside and a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
How can you not stop at a place called TART cafe?? 
Chicken pesto tart with a side salad.  
Mushroom tart with a side salad.. both great.  Perfect meal after walking around all morning.
Only had room for mini dessert tarts.  Coconut & margarita.  The margarita one was better.
