Things To Do
Dining & NightLife
From Tex-Mex and world-class BBQ to hookah lounges and Middle Eastern cuisine, Houston has it all. Favorites include Maderas, Truth BBQ, Pasha Hookah Lounge, and Sante for a great lounge experience. Try Reza’s, Rumi’s, and Tolo Kabob House for Persian and Afghan flavors. Enjoy Lebanese breakfast at We’re Dough and indulge in Lebanese sweets at Suzie’s Pastry Shoppe. For upscale dining and nightlife, explore Montrose, River Oaks, and The Heights neighborhoods.
Shopping
The Galleria and Memorial City Mall offer upscale retail while Rice Village, River Oaks District, and The Heights highlight unique local boutiques.
Family Fun
Kids will have a blast at the Houston Zoo and the whole family can enjoy walking or kayaking along the scenic trails at Buffalo Bayou Park while taking in beautiful skyline views. Space Center Houston features interactive NASA exhibits and real spacecraft. And of course, no Texas trip is complete without a stop at Buc-ee’s—our favorite one is in Katy.
