As the year winds down and Houston’s downtown pulses with holiday energy, The Met continues to serve as a hub for wellness, productivity, and connection. General Manager Thomas Westbrook sat down with us to share what members can look forward to during the final months of the year, and how the club is shaping its vision for 2026.
Looking for a neighborhood spot that feels instantly familiar? R&R CraftHouse Grill in Cypress, Texas is the kind of place that hits the mark. It blends American comfort food with a Cajun pulse. Even better, the vibe is relaxed and welcoming from the moment you walk in.
There are so many options with Burger Vibe. With their La Vita Coffee Shop, they have breakfast sandwiches, burritos, and La Vita Bites. You have your choices of an Espresso or a Coffee, Cold & Frappe, and Iced or Hot Tea. I tried a Mango Smoothie for the road, made with an all natural mango puree containing who knows how many of the delicious stoned fruit. Brain Freeze!!! I nursed it all the way back home. You can’t go wrong with the Burger Vibe. I’d even advise it for coffee after dinner and a show. Bon Appétit!!!
