Things To Do
The Menil Collection
1533 Sul Ross Street, Houston, TX 77006
One of our favorite picnic spots when the weather's good! Come see the largest collection of Rene Margritte in the United States (for free).
West Alabama Ice House
1919 West Alabama Street, Houston, TX 77098
A Houston classic, it's been around for almost a hundred years. Beer, wine, and a basketball hoop. Tacos Tierra Caliente in the parking lot next door is cheap and delicious.
The Toasted Coconut
1617 Richmond Avenue, Houston, TX 77006
One of our go-to spots, great cocktails (we love the blood & sandals) and fun bites. Insane orchid budget.
La Sicilia italian Bakery & Cafe
515 Westheimer Road, Houston, TX 77006
Delicious Italian bakery - you can't lose.
SweetCup
3939 Montrose Boulevard, Houston, TX 77006
Walking distance from La Colombe D'or, it serves classic and fun flavors.
Spaghetti Western Italian Cafe
1608 Shepherd Drive, Houston, TX 77007
We had our first date here! The food and service are both mediocre. If you do go, DON'T get the tombstone chicken.
Echoes
900 Richmond Avenue, Houston, TX 77006
A fun Montrose bar with a Greek kitchen. The car wash downstairs hosts dj sets on weekend evenings.
For all the days along the way
