"After a night at the ballet, cruising around museums, or making awkward small talk with coworkers at whatever convention brings you to Houston, decompress at the candle-lit wine bar 13 Celsius. Apart from a stellar wine list and more by-the-glass options than other spots, 13 has a romantic charm. Partly because, unlike Houston’s general penchant for tearing down and rebuilding everything, this place looks like it opened in 1935 and never changed. Snacking on baked brie and duck rillette with a glass of Zweigelt or Chenin Blanc just feels better here, especially if you have to fight Houston traffic." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
