Carless and in Houston for the Final Four? Here's how to get around to the best places to visit during this long weekend.
Listen, we don't want to overwhelm you. There is a LOT to do in the fourth largest city in America, but you will only be here a few days, so we're going to take it easy on you. So, we have restricted our list to only things you can access via walking, biking or the METRORail system. The rail is what you'll likely use to get back and forth from NRG Park to downtown — there is NOTHING to do around NRG that is worth doing, sadly — but you can also Uber or Lyft.
But with a short trip in an out of H-Town and plenty of activities related to the Final Four, we'll try to be specific. Have fun!Stroll through Hermann Park on your way to one of only a handful of conservation zoos in the country. It's beautiful, expansive and all the money goes to wildlife. If you are feeling like something fun , hop on the Hermann mini train and ride around the park. It's pretty great.
For decades, Houston's bayou waterways were mostly a shameful example of how not to treat public places. They were straightened and concreted and were generally an ugly eyesore. Much of that has changed in the last 20 years including the opening of the absolutely stunning Buffalo Bayou Park. Running from downtown north over two miles on both sides of the water. It includes performance areas, dog parks, kayak rentals, a restaurant and even a cistern that was unearthed during the build.
We know they are hated but lots of people, but they are the defending champs and they do play in one of the most beautiful ballparks in America. It just so happens to be home opening weekend for the Astros, a perfect time for a game and a dog.Get there: Red Line to Main Street Square - walk to Green Line and take to Bastrop Stop - walk one block northwest to St. Emanuel then left for three blocks
Look, we know there are TONS of dining options in Houston. And, yes, we realize that many people might first think barbecue or Tex Mex. We don't dispute those claims and there are good reasons to try those while you are here. But, one that is often overlooked is Vietnamese. Houston has a large Vietnamese population and some of the best restaurants around.
