Hi Juan Carlos,

I think our tour companies can accomodate you with your baby. A couple that I would recommend you make contact with are Houston Global Solutions and Houston City Tours. Both are good companies but they would probably customize a tour for you so I suggest you reach out to them directly for pricing information.

Thanks!

Hi Nuris,

A few places that pop to mind: Shade in the Heights, Tiny Boxwoods, Ouisie's Table, Backstreet Cafe, The Grove and Daily Review Cafe. Some of these have great patios and gardens, others are just fun brunch-like spots.

Best,

Veronica

Hank,

It does! You can actually look at the guide (and the map) online here, or you can order a hard copy.  We also have a section on our website with a variety of maps in PDF format that you can print out. 

Let me know if you have any questions!

Anita,

There is an Amtrak route (New Orleans to Los Angeles) that stops in Houston.  We also have a new service called Megabus that travels from Houston to Galveston, Austin, Dallas, New Orleans and San Antonio. 

If you want to take your kids on a train within Houston, I'd suggest the METRORail, a 7.5 mile light rail line that stretches from downtown to Reliant Park.  Click here for a list of things to do at each stop.

If you have additional questions, let me know!

Hussain,

How old are your cousins? What do they like to do? During what hours will they be here? If you can answer those questions for me, I can better answer yours. 

Thanks!

Lilly,

Houston is a great place to see live music.  Here are a few key spots:

• Armadillo Palace (mostly country) 
• House of Blues (pretty much everything!)
• Capitol at St. Germain (a mix of local bands) 
• Fitzgerald's (mostly rock)
• Continental Club (an eclectic mix)
• McGonigel's Mucky Duck (folk, acoustic, blues)

Click here for a comprehensive list of live music spots around Houston.

Thanks!

Arei,

Have you considered becoming a member of any of the museums or becoming involved in a musical organization? Most arts and music groups around the city have memberships or groups that get together for networking events.  If you can tell me specifically what kind of art and music you like, I can give you more specific suggestions of who to contact.

Thanks!

Hi Doris,

The Houston CityPASS is great! 

I don't know of any condos or townhomes you can rent for a week, but I'd recommend you look at an extended stay hotel.  As far as area of town, I think Downtown or the Museum District is the best place to look.  You can travel between Downtown and Museum District using the Houston Light Rail system as well. 

For hotels, I recommend The Magnolia Hotel, the Lancaster, Hotel Icon or Hotel ZaZa. 

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi Khan,

If you are out at Battleship Texas there are a few other things that are very cool to do close by. Just down the street is the San Jacinto Monument & Museum, which has a great display on Texas history and offers a fantastic view of the area from atop the monument.

Also, Armand Bayou Nature Center is close by, with trails, wildlife exhibits and much more!

Hope this helps.

Hi Daniela,

I don't know of any apartments in the area that rent for a month.  But, you should look into extended stay hotels in the Heights area, which is close to La Fisheria.

I recommend Sara's Bed & Breakfast Inn, Sycamore Heights and Modern B & B. Other options include the Howard Johnson Express Inn Houston Downtown and Sleep Inn & Suites.

As far as transportation, the Metro Bus is a good option. Be sure to check out Metro's Trip Planner to schedule your rides.  You could also look into renting a car or taking a taxi.  

Hope this helps!
