The 11 Spots To Make Friends And Meet New People - Houston - The Infatuation

"This Pakistani restaurant often gets so busy that you’ll be asked to share a table with future friends—a perfect opportunity to break out the magic tricks or stand-up bits you’ve been practicing. You can also talk about the food, like masala-rubbed crispy fried chicken with tangy mustard, or that Anthony Bourdain ate here once. The owner often makes dinner here an experience—like a dinner theater MC—squeezing in folks at random tables and encouraging cross-table sharing. Himalaya’s a party and you can BYOB, yet another way to get someone new to like you." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
