1. Yelp, White and BLU - Yelp Elite Squad Event @ Blu
The March Elite Event at Blu was outstanding. From the beautifully arranged indoor/outdoor space to the food to the drinks to the music it was a fun, relaxed evening. After checking in we looked around and decided to grab a couch outdoors, the…More »
2. Yelp Elite Squad Event @ Philippe Restaurant + Lounge
What can I say? Get a group of rather fine looking Yelpers + Phillipe Restaurant = a spectacular time! Thank you Farrah for organizing this fun event & to Phillipe R/L for opening their doors and treating us like royalty.
The staff at PRL were…More »
3. Yelp's Flock Party @ the Houston Zoo
What a wonderful time we had with such an eclectic crowd of Flock members & Yelpers! Thanks to Farrah, Yelp staffers & the Houston Zoo for putting together such a lively, fun & delicious event. We got there right at 7:30 for the Elite early entry and…More »
4. Black Out Hunger Elite Event @ BlackFinn American Grille
Houston, TX 77002
Category:
Local Flavor
Neighbourhoods: Fourth Ward, Midtown, Downtown
Dressed head to toe in black with some canned goods clenched in my hands, I headed over to BlackFinn American Grille for the November Elite Event and a much needed mid-week break. BlackFinn was easy to find even though Map(stupid)Quest said they were…More »
5. Yelp Elite Squad Event @ Yelapa Playa Mexicana
Thanks Farrah for organizing such a great Elite Event! AND big thanks to Yelapa Playa Mexicana for opening their doors and being such a gracious host. As Sonia T. stated, the staff got overwhelmed when they replenished the food table. Kind of…More »

Category:
Local Flavor
Neighbourhoods: The Heights, Washington Corridor
After hearing the May Elite event's theme was Mad Men, I knew exactly what I was going to wear. A dress my mother made in the early 60's. While digging through her closet my mother found a couple of hats and gloves. Yes!
Everyone looked glamorous &…More »
7. Yelp Elite Squad Event @ Flora And Muse
What can I say? Once again Farrah put together a really fun, hoppin' event at Flora and Muse. Located in my neighborhood, nothing could keep me away from this event.
Parking at Citi Centre is a bear but luckily we are familiar with the nature of the…More »
8. Yelp Houston's Holiday Hoedown @ Winter Street Studios
Once again Farrah organized a truly spectacular event!
Houston's Holiday Hoedown will be the talk of Yelp for years to come. The food was amazing: Branch Water Tavern's Fried Oysters, Calliope's Gumbo, Chelsea Grill's Sweet Potato Wontons & Danton's…More »
9. Yelp Elite Squad Event @ The Oak Room
It hurts writing this review. Not because I had a crappy time but because I had an insanely great time at the Yelp Prom. My body aches from my spastic moves on the dance floor and my feet are killing me from the mile high shoes I wore.
Mucho thanks…More »
10. Yelp Elite Squad Event @ Glitter Karaoke
What do you get when you mix a bunch of Yelpers with cupcakes, popcorn, vodka & karaoke? A dizzy mix of fun, fun, FUN!
Thanks to Glitter Karaoke for allowing us to croon, warble, belt, screech and sing our hearts out! Even though I didn't hit the…More »
11. Yelp Elite Squad Event @ Strip House Steak House
What can I say? The greatest CM ever, planned yet another awesome Elite Event at the Strip House. There was plenty to do at this fine event: getting smoky eyes, sexy lips & retro-hairstyles from Studio 31, cool tattoos from The Original Henna…More »
12. Yelp Elite Squad Event at Big Star Bar
As Holly S. so aptly put it: tacky & Christmas go hand in hand and with Yelpers involved it was taken to a whole new level, plane, planet.
Thanks to Big Star Bar for hosting, BB's for the tasty food, Saavy & Lone Star for the elixirs and finally…More »
13. Yelp Presents EaDo Palooza
Once again Farrah (et al) has proven that she can organize one heck of a par-tay! Kudos to you Farrah, your hard word shined and the event was a huge success.
The venue for the EaDo Palooza was held at the Francisco Studios, a warehouse located in a…More »
14. Yelp Elite Squad Event @ Aurora Picture Show
Once again the elite event was HOT due to Houston's over the top temps in addition to the totally hot Yelpers that showed up en masse. We arrived promptly at 6pm but weren't the first to arrive. The fabulous Eva K. was there with Stephen (who is also…More »
15. Yelp Elite Squad Smashburger Sneak Preview
Curious on how they came up with such a unique, silly name I asked the manager (which he gave us a very animated explanation, you had to be there). The name of this place comes from how they "smash" the patties on the grill when they cook 'em. I…More »
16. Yelp Elite Squad Event @ Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar
Thank you Farrah for a most bond-tastic time!
The private room at Fleming's was packed to the gills with gorgeous Elites and their dates. It was fun visiting with familiar faces and getting to know others. Fleming's went all out on the food and the…More »
