The Rainbow Cake is a colorful, five-layer cake encased in a smooth buttercream icing. The cake is 10-inches round and 12-inches high. Oh my!

Velvet Taco

Velvet Taco's LGBTQ+ brunch burger

The taco group is tasting the rainbow for Pride 2024 — literally. The rainbow Pride Brunch Burger dish blends the best of both worlds (tacos and burgers, of course) to craft a unique “LGBTQ+” blend of lemon chile aioli, green onion, bacon, tater tots, queso blanco, medium egg and candied pepitas all on a rainbow waffle tortilla. A portion of proceeds from each sold will be donated to Lambda Legal, the oldest and largest legal organization in the U.S. dedicated to protecting the civil rights of the LGBTQ+ community.

Via 313

This new-to-Houston, authentic Detroit-style pizza concept is introducing three limited-time items: the Bacon Chicken Caesar Salad Pizza, PB&J Sticks, and a reimagined Smoked Grog Drink cocktail. One dollar from each special item ordered benefits Pride Houston 365, a nonprofit that has been working to support the LGBT+ community for more than 40 years and is home to the Official Houston Pride Parade and Festival. Available now through June 3.

THIS SUMMER, LEBRINA Jackson, owner of Escape Spa in Cypress, is taking her wisdom and joie de wellness to the jungle. Far beyond the walls of her beautiful spa, she’s aiming to create a quiet space for people to work on their personal growth in a community-centric atmosphere. She shares what participants will get out of the trip and why it’s important to take time for self-care in 2025.

Why is it important for people to “retreat”? Life can feel like a non-stop marathon, and sometimes we forget to just... breathe. Retreating offers a chance to step off the treadmill for a bit and hit the reset button. It's about giving your body and mind some much-needed TLC, allowing for genuine relaxation and rejuvenation. Beyond the personal perks, retreats often create a cool sense of community, connecting you with others on a similar path. By carving out space for self-reflection, you can recharge and return to your daily life with a clearer head and a bit more pep in your step.
