Buffalo Bayou Park offers a beautiful green space in the middle of the U.S.’s 4th largest city. With 160 acres, it offers walk/run/bike trails, a dog park, and kayak rentals. It is one of my favorite ways to find a little nature in the city!

We love this neighborhood bar even though it isn’t in our neighborhood! It’s worth the drive. Great drinks and a solid, though small, food selection.

For high-end consignments this is a fantastic shop! Money raised goes to Charity Guild of Catholic Women. Yes, it’s pricier than other shops, but the quality is bar-none!

There are 2-3 blocks on Westheimer where thrift and vintage stores reign! Space City Vintage is another great option!
