"Nearly everyone at the candle-lit bar at 13 Celsius is on a date. Because, in addition to having a stellar list and more by-the-glass options than other spots, 13 has a romantic energy. The place looks like it opened in 1935 and never changed. The paint is peeling off the walls, the ceiling is covered in patina, and baked brie and duck rillette go extremely well with a glass of zweigelt or chenin blanc—especially if you had to fight Houston traffic beforehand." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene, julie takahashi
