Harwin shopping: Houston s best kept secret
KTRK
We re talking about Harwin Drive near Hillcroft Street in Southwest Houston. Wow. You have to have all day to really take your time and look through everything. It s a lot. It is overwhelming, laughed Michelle and Jasmine Rios.
The area is famous for its wholesale shopping.
Many store owners buy items in bulk, and then sell them to stores around the country, as well as to individual customers. We ve been hiding. We don t do much marketing or advertising or promotion. We re mainly by word of mouth, explained Sam Kim, the owner of Bella Jewelry. We can get stuff for so cheap. The prices are unbeatable. They re unbeatable.
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) ICNA Relief, a Muslim-based non-profit organization, has been giving back to the Houston community since 2005. Their work includes big projects like food drives, medical assistance, transitional housing, and more, but their mission is relatively simple. If you look the logo for our organization, it says Muslims for Humanity, said ICNA Relief Houston s Seemi Bukhari. This is the backbone of our religion.
As a result, ICNA Relief has provided their services to a vast array of Houstonians, but much of their work has centered around the city s refugee population. That changed when the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020.

When the Bagel Shop Bakery opened its original location on Hillcroft Street it was one of the first bagel shops in Houston.
The second location for longtime Houston favorite Bagel Shop Bakery, the to-go counterpart of New York Deli and Coffee Shop, is now open today at 5422 Bellaire Blvd. And that s just the beginning. The plan is to open a second location of the sit-down New York Deli and Coffee Shopâwith a 300-seat capacity and a full barânext door as early as spring 2021.Â
It s another step in modernization for the longtime Houston bagel maker whose original location remains on Hillcroft Street in Meyerland. Michael Saghian, who took over management of both New York Deli and Bagel Shop Bakery nearly two years ago, says the new location will give him the opportunity to experiment and stretch the boundaries of the brand.
