I love spicy food! Spicy girl is my go to when I am craving Szechwan tingling peppercorns like in their “3 favor chicken”. The roast duck is fantastic for those who want something a little milder.

Drinks & Nightlife

Axelrad is fantastic on a beautiful day or evening. It has a large crushed granite patio with outdoor tables and even hammocks to enjoy the weather. You can order pizza from nextdoor Luigi's or enjoy the rotating food trucks. Craft beer and cocktails are also available. Very relaxing but upscale environment.

Everyone loves the zoo!! It is barely a mile from the Air BNB. You can take the “red line” and go 3 stops. Also go to the lake just next door and go paddle boating or ride the miniature train.

A museum in the Montrose area of Houston that showcases the collection of Dominique Schlumberger de Menil, a longtime Houston resident. There is a large lawn surrounding the museum that locals live to hang out and relax or picnic. They also have a cafe across the street with outdoor tables.

Shopping

The Rice Village is a short 3 and 1/2 mile Uber ride away from the Air BNB. It has a LOT of quality restaurants and shops both chains and specialty. It makes for a nice day as the area is quite walkable and the ambiance is usually laid back!☀️
