If you would like a place to go to the Park, go on some cool paddle boats, feed some squirrels, and explore some museums please enjoy yourself at Herman Park!
If you want to come and lounge and have a picnic come to Menil Park! There is also a free museum! Very close by is Alabama Ice House with outdoor seating and the BEST Taco truck in town right next to it! If you want to have the Texas feel, take a stroll to this location!
Want to enjoy a hipster part of town and go to grab some delicious coffee at the first place we met? Come on by Agora Cafe for a nice quaint and quiet place to sip some coffee (or maybe wine) at this cute coffee shop! Also within walking distance if you want food you can go to Cafe Brasil (cute outside inside place to eat some delicious and unique food) and you can also walk along Westheimer and go thrift store shopping!
Want to enjoy a little shopping and strolling in and out of a few local art studios and boutiques? Stop in at a few cafes for an espresso at Boomtown Coffee or a glass of wine at the rooftop Harold's. Try a famous Torchy's Taco (we can't live without them) and ask them about their secret menu. 19th street won't disappoint. You'll be sure to see some funky things and leave with a full belly.
Want the best Instagram worthy views of the Houston skyline? Come rent a bike at Buffalo Bayou and explore the trails under and around downtown Houston. You'll see beautiful views all along the looping trail and can even bring a blanket and snacks to rest in between for a picnic! Bike rentals are easy and affordable for a few hours. You'll love this option. Also a recommendation for any avid runners!
Discovery green is one of the best attractions in downtown Houston. You can visit here for lots of various weekend pop up events.

This event can also be your home base for walking and exploring downtown Houston.
