Next, drive a few minutes down University Boulevard.<br />
and visit Rice Village and Rice University. This is<br />
a lovely area to do a little afternoon shopping and has<br />
excellent places to eat. Houston is a diverse city; therefore,<br />
it includes an endless array of cuisines.. My two favorite<br />
restaurants in this area are Goode Seafood Company<br />
and The Raven Grill. Due to Houston’s close proximity<br />
to the Gulf of Mexico, fresh seafood is always available, and<br />
Goode Seafood Company has is the best. I suggest ordering<br />
the bacon- wrapped shrimp for an appetizer and swordfish<br />
for the main course. It is a lot of food, but I promise you<br />
the misery of being overly stuffed is worth it. If seafood isn’t<br />
your favorite food, The Raven Grill is the place for you. They<br />
are known for cooking most of their food on a wood fired<br />
grill and have plenty of options such as chicken and steak<br />
for the non-seafood lovers.<br />
As the night approaches, Houston’s nightlife is just as<br />
promising as it is during the day. Sporting events are always<br />
happening over the weekend, so if you are a sports fan, look<br />
for tickets to go see the Texans, the Astros, the Rockets<br />
or the Dynamos play. If you really want to immerse<br />
yourself in Texas culture, go see the Dynamos, Houston’s<br />
Major League Soccer team. If you are are more interesting in<br />
live music than sports, head to Midtown and have yourself a<br />
Texas Margarita. If you visit during rodeo season, typically<br />
between February and March, I recommend visiting the<br />
Houston Rodeo. If you get a chance to visit the rodeo, visit<br />
the NRG stadium to watch the livestock show which is<br />
followed by a concert featuring multiple country singers.<br />
This year the lineup includes country stars such as Garth<br />
Brooks and Thomas Rhett.<br />
