Things To Do

Our favorite restaurant in Houston, we go here almost every week! Get the spicy fried chicken!
Ramen Tatsu-ya
We went here on our first date. Make sure to bring plenty of napkins! (Princess used an entire stack on our first date)
Post Houston
With a constantly-changing food hall, art installations, live music, and a rooftop garden overlooking the Houston skyline, you can do it all at POST!
Memorial Park
One of our favorite parks to run in. It's Oso-approved!
The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
Located in the heart of the Houston Museum District, this is just one of many locations to get lost in while you're here!
The Galleria
Shop til you drop at Houston's premier mall!
Truth Barbecue
Michelin-recommended BBQ restaurant, Connor’s favorite in Houston!
Pinkerton's Barbecue
Try here for award-winning Texas BBQ with plenty of rustic decor!
The Pit Room
Princess’ favorite BBQ restaurant in Houston and Connor’s favorite trivia night locale! Get the 3 meat platter with the brisket as one of the meats. Side dishes you should try are the elote fully loaded and mac n cheese.
Star Snow Ice & Teriyaki
Our go-to hole in the wall restaurant for all of our trips to Chinatown! Try the crispy teriyaki chicken on rice and fried squid.
Kasra Persian Grill
Voted best hummus in Houston! Our favorite place for Mediterranean food.
Jollibee
Making sure to include the essentials on our list!
Aga's Restaurant & Catering
Hands-down the best Indian food in Houston, with a crowd lining up every day of the week (Don’t worry, it moves really quick!). Get the grilled goat chops!
Betelgeuse Betelgeuse
Some of the best (and most interesting) pizza and drinks in Houston. Great spot for happy hour!
Kim Tài
Our favorite hole-in-the-wall spot for Vietnamese food! Try their eggrolls and bo luc lac (sautéed beef on a bed of rice)
Huynh Restaurant
One of our favorite spots for Vietnamese food, right next to EaDo and Downtown Houston!
Liuyishou
Hotpot fans rejoice, Liuyishou is one of the best!
Siphon Coffee
One of the only places in Houston to serve siphon-made coffee!
Kona Reserve Coffee at Greenway Plaza
Our go-to coffee spot before our Costco runs! Great when followed up with a kolache from the Kolache Factory next door.
Fix Coffeebar
Connor’s favorite coffee in Houston. Try the Honey Lavender Latte!
Luce Coffee Roasters - Washington
Get the pandan latte!
Un Caffe
One of Princess’ favorite spots to study and get a cup of coffee! If you’re in the mood for something sweet, try an Einspanner!
Hui Lau Shan
The best mango desserts in town! They also have locations in the Heights and the Galleria mall. Get the "mango chewy ball"
Long Coffee
One of Princess’ favorite spots for boba. Princess always orders the Royal Artichoke Boba Tea and Connor gets the Cafe Sua Da (Vietnamese Coffee).
Nu Cafe Ice Cream & Boba
A delicious and long-time Houston favorite for shaved ice cream, you can customize your meal with whatever toppings you would like!
Chongqing Chicken Pot
Another great recommendation for hot pot, they use a unique method from Chongquing China where you have the main dish first as a dry pot, then use the remaining broth as base for your hot pot.
Claw Mania Kingdom
A great way to burn some time (and more than a few dollars!)
Linda's Tropical Fruits
Get the #17 — a refreshing medley of tropical fruit chunks with a creamy coconut base. It’s the perfect tropical drink! The fresh sugarcane juice is also a must-try.
Gerald D. Hines Waterwall Park
A classic Houston tourist stop! One of the best ways to let everyone on Instagram know that you’re in Houston right now.
Hermann Park
Our go-to running spot located next door to Houston’s world-class museum district! Ride the train around the park and visit the Houston Zoo while you’re there.
