Beeline to Houston’s buzzy, newly resurrected Central Business District. It’s home to pro sports teams like the Astros, Rockets and Aeros, as well as year-round resident companies in all the major performing arts. And thanks to recent efforts to develop the area’s culinary and nightlife scene, downtown enjoys a following that extends beyond the 9 to 5 hours. Catch a show or enjoy a night out at the Houston Pavilions. The four-block, mixed-use development brings fresh energy to the area with a House of Blues, Pete’s Dueling Piano Bar, Lucky Strike Lanes and nearly a dozen restaurants. While you’re in the area, swing by the 12-acre Discovery Green for live music, a farmers market, fitness classes and (in the winter) ice-skating on Kinder Lake.
