Houston, Texas Travel Guide in a Weekend

Until this year, Houston had only been a place I had stopped through while flying to other destinations.  But now I’ve already been there 3 times this year!  And let me tell you, there is so much to do.  Whether you only have a short day or 2 like I did or an entire week, I’m rounding up the best things to do in Houston TX!

The Best Things to Do in Houston TX

• Where to eat in Houston TX:  
  For breakfast, try The Breakfast Klub.  You can’t pass up their chicken and waffles!  If you still didn’t get your chicken fix at breakfast, try out Lee’s Fried Chicken & Donuts for lunch.  And for dinner try Goode Company for seafood, Hugo’s for Mexican food and B&B Butchers for a great steak.  And for a sweet little treat, try the red velvet cupcakes at Crave Cupcakes.
• What to do in Houston TX: 
  If you’ve never been, you have to at least go to the Space Center once.  And make sure you go by Discovery Green on a nice afternoon.  They have restaurants, art and live music there.
• Where to shop in Houston TX:
  For home décor, visit Biscuit.  They also have the cutest little painted wall outside too!  = )  For clothing, visit the Elaine Turner in Houston.  I love her shoe and bag collection the most, and noting compares to getting to see them and try them all on in person.  And  À Bientôt is a must.  They have such a great selection of unique jewelry, bags and accessories.

• Where to stay in Houston TX:
  Four Seasons.  This gorgeous hotel is located in Houston near tons of great restaurants within walking distance.  My room was on the pool level and walked straight out to a patio, the pool and hot tub.  The lobby was a modern mixture of chic and masculine.  And in the lobby was their lobby bar and restaurant, Bayou & Bottle.  They made me a signature cocktail when I arrived and it was so yummy!  Everything from the drinks to the food to the hotel room and the staff at the hotel was amazing.  I will definitely be visiting Houston again soon, and next time I’ll make sure that I have more time!
