What it is: A wedding video company
Why it's cool: Instead of having cameramen at your wedding, Wedit will send you cameras so that you can have your guests record the events. Then you send the cameras back and they edit it into a continuous video that you can share. At $499, this is probably the most affordable wedding videographer service out there.

15 E. Kirby

What it is: A French-American bistro, club, and wine bar
Why it's cool: When serial entrepreneur Torya Blanchard started this business venture she avoided creating just another French restaurant.
Instead it's a restaurant-cum-wine bar-cum-club with French-inspired cuisine and hot DJs spinning tunes at night. With posters of Luis Buñuel movies and a black, white, and red decor, the restaurant is clearly inspired by New Wave French cinema.
