I'm a long-time Houstonian who's been away for 7 years and is finally coming back for a visit!

Looking for new interesting or unique places to go. I like anything with a gimmick.

Old favorites include the Bookstop that was once a movie theater (closed years ago), Hobbit Cafe, 59 Diner, Treebeards, Phoenicia Market, the Angelika Theatre 😢.

I'm especially looking for:

- a good Tex-Mex rec (my old fave didn't survive 2020)
- unique bookstores
- anything else weird or special! Surprise me 😃

Traveling out to Montana/Idaho/Wyoming early September. First time out west / big sky country. Any recs for activities/food/breweries are much appreciated. Have a rough itinerary that includes a couple different local activities/the national parks.
Thank you!!

Going to Charlioftsville next weekend, any wineries, restaurants, breweries, hiking etc...to do there during COVID. Appreciate your insight!!!!
