East Nashville Is the Hottest Neighborhood In the Hot-Chicken City | Bon Appétit

"The running joke for the past decade is that thousands of barns gave their lives to supply the amount of reclaimed barnwood decorating the city’s institutions. So it was with a healthy amount of skepticism that I approachedPelican & Pig, a Southern-ish restaurant with, yes, a bar wrapped in wood. I should have been more trusting since (a) those are new pine boards and (b) it’s from Nick and Audra Guidry, the husband-and-wife duo behind the excellentSlow Hand Coffee + Bakeshopnext door. Here they give Southern staples a twist, smoking short ribs and layering them with a Sichuan-spiked soubise and making pillowy gnocchi out of biscuit dough to slide under braised rabbit." - BySTEVE CAVENDISH

This black owned bookstore is quite charming. Despite its size, the space is utilized very effectively. I found a book from a beloved series for my son, and the staff was both friendly and accommodating. The women working that day were warm and hospitable. Supporting black owned businesses like this bookstore is important, not only for the representation and visibility of black voices in literature, but also for the sense of community and connection that they provide. I will definitely be returning to this bookstore in the future, and I encourage others to do the same.

I walked into the store and the woman behind the counter was on the phone BUT she acknowledged and welcomed me . The energy of the store was just ON. It is a small space, but I felt really comfortable. I wanted to stay and just browse the titles, I did not have the time. I found the books I was looking for and I had additional questions. As I walked to the counter I must have had THAT look. She put the call on hold (very rare these days) and helped me. I will definitely be back. I really liked this place.

I definitely had an incredible experience here tonight! This is the cutest little black owned bookstore with incredible books by Black Arthur's from all over the world. Please go support this store. I can't believe I didn't know it was here

I discovered this gem of a bookstore when the Penguin Banned Books Wagon stopped there on their tour. The bookstore is in an amazing location with a nice area in the back to sit with your book after you purchase it. The store has a great selection of all genres from adults to YA to children’s books. I also love the various reading related paraphernalia - bookmarks, pins and candles. I will definitely return to patronize a local business.

It's one of my favorite places in Houston. This quaint bookstore us a slice of heaven, offering hard to find treasures and big releases, respectively. The staff is super helpful, and they have the best events in their patio garden. If you are a lover of books, treat yourself to a stop at Kindred Stories

Beautiful and cozy bookstore! It’s clean, organized and has a lot of variety! Also, I cannot forget that it’s Black owned. We love to see it! All the staff was dressed so cute and their hair was popping! I felt so welcomed and comfortable! I definitely will be back!

I was recommended one of my now favorite books at Kindred Stories. This bookstore is a vision brought to life by its lovely owners and staff. The aesthetic reminds me of a comforting cabin; it’s an escape within the City where you can get lost in a forest of books which are curated to showcase BIPOC authors from around the world and, especially, across Texas. An incredible space to get lost in for a few hours - and a must visit for all book lovers.

Such an authentic and cute find on a rainy day!!! Came from out of town for a family event and wanted to go to a bookstore for s pick me up. I didn’t know it was Black owned! The staff and selection was amazing. Wish I had one in my area! I wouldn’t mind making another drive just to come back and support!
