I don’t know about y’all but this weekend couldn’t come any sooner. Ready to kick my feet up, relax, and check out some these events this labor day weekend.
Without further ado, let’s get into it with our first business spotlight!
Michael’s Coookie Jar: Houston Texas Bakery
🍪 Houston’s beloved local cookie bakery
 |  |  |
Founded by professional pastry chef Michael Savino 16 years ago, it remains Houston’s beloved local cookie shop! If you work in downtown in the tunnels or around the Upper Kirby area, pop in and try their cookies! Their Red Velvet is my personal favorite! Not too sweet but rich in flavor. 10/10 would recommend

Tacos Laguna Food Truck
🌮 $1 Street Tacos, 7 locations across Houston, open daily 7pm-3am
 |  |  |
Man, I’ve been going to this food truck since high school. Since then, they’ve opened 7 different locations with the same blue truck. I always get 8 tacos and a side of beans. They have a lot of other good menu items too. They also have a location in Montrose if y’all want a snack after the clurbs. They’re usually cash only but recently started taking Zelle at some locations.
That’s all folks, thanks for reading!
