FOOD

The Original Ninfa's

29° 45.234' N 95° 20.567' W

Where fajitas were born. The tortillas are made fresh constantly. Don’t skip the green sauce.

The Breakfast Klub

29° 44.567' N 95° 22.345' W

Wings and waffles that live up to the hype. The line wraps around the block, but the vibe in line is half the fun.

CULTURE

The Menil Collection

29° 44.234' N 95° 23.890' W

A world-class art museum that’s free and intimate. The Surrealist collection is mind-bending. The surrounding park is lovely.

Rothko Chapel

29° 44.123' N 95° 23.789' W

Dark, quiet, and meditative. Fourteen black paintings by Mark Rothko. A place to sit and just be.

ISKCON of Houston

29° 49.068' N 95° 25.416' W

A stunning Vedic temple with intricate architecture and peaceful gardens. The Sunday Love Feast is famous, and Govinda’s restaurant serves excellent vegetarian food.

QUIRKY

Orange Show

29° 43.456' N 95° 18.234' W

A folk art environment built single-handedly by a postman. It’s a maze of mosaics, gears, and whimsy.

Space Center Houston

29° 33.109' N 95° 05.894' W

The official visitor center for NASA. See the Saturn V rocket, touch a moon rock, and walk inside the shuttle carrier aircraft. A must for space nerds.

HIDDEN

Buffalo Bayou Cistern

29° 45.678' N 95° 22.567' W

An underground drinking water reservoir from the 1920s. The acoustics are wild… a single clap echoes for 17 seconds.

NATURE

Smither Park

29° 43.345' N 95° 18.123' W

An urban park covered in mosaic art made from recycled materials. It’s vibrant, creative, and constantly evolving.
