Men in the East tend to let girls do all the work, lazily expecting females to start relationships…read moreand make all the moves. Whereas men in the West-chase women and make all the first moves. Which way is better? You decide.

Westchase is a pretty wonderful district of Houston, food wise, and there are so many great treats and gems and foods over here, and a lot of wonderful Middle Eastern stuff as well as Latin stuff and Asian stuff, including plenty of Vietnamese options since it's very close to Alief, as well as lots of Japanese options because for some reason it's a distinctly Japanese-flavoured part of Houston.
Much of the time, the people of Westchase are not the friendliest, including some Westchase-and-nearby Yelpers that send me hate mail and write hate reviews, and the traffic is not the best at the best of times, although the police don't seem to "police" the traffic so for people that like to speed, it's a relaxing area to drive in (except for the awful texting drivers smashing into you at any given time), but it's still easily a five-star neighbourhood by any stretch of the imagination, largely because of the food and the proximity to Chinatown and Vietnamesetown.
