A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
There are two things that often surprise visitors coming to Houston for the first time: the city’s diversity and its cuisine. More than a quarter of all Houstonians were born in other countries, and nowhere is that more obvious than in Houston’s food scene. While many know it as the Tex-Mex capital of the South (better luck next time, Austin), locals are partial to a wide range of multicultural dishes. If you’re visiting Houston, these are the 10 best foods to try.
Although Houston, the nation’s fourth largest city, has plenty to see and do inside the city itself, sometimes it is nice to “take a drive” and visit some of the sites in the outlying area. Luckily for Houston area tourists and residents alike, there are a great many attractions within a short drive of the Bayou City. Here are a handful of ideas for those wishing to spend a day experiencing something outside the confines of Texas’ largest city.
Houston is an incredibly diverse city. That diversity is highlighted in the various festivals and events held in Houston. From hot sauce to parrots, Houston has a festival to celebrate virtually anything imaginable.
In a city renowned for its Tex-Mex cuisine, delightful burritos are always nearby in Houston. With perfectly seasoned meats, beans, fresh veggies, and cheese wrapped in a soft tortilla, burritos are a staple for locals and visitors alike. If you’re searching for the best burritos, consider these standout locations.
Part & Parcel is a premier destination for happy hour. This vibrant patio bar is nestled in The Whitehall hotel, right at the core of downtown, and quickly gained popularity among local office workers.
Houston has plenty of day spas. How do you tell which spas are the best? These are my picks for the best day spas in Houston, ranging from super-luxe resort spas to more affordable neighborhood places and medical spas.
