The relatively compact Downtown area of Houston includes notable districts such as the 17-block Theater District that is the epitome of sophistication and class, with the famed Houston Grand Opera, Hobby Center for Performing Arts, 130,000 sq ft Bayou Place entertainment complex, premier theater venues, and 9 professional performing arts organizations. Bayou Place is the dining and entertainment hub in the heart of the Theater District and features The Ballroom at Bayou Place, a 15,000 sq ft flex space on the 2nd floor that is a premier event venue. Revention Music Center at Bayou Place since 1997, is the venue for countless events featuring nationally acclaimed musicians and comedy acts. AMC Dine-In Houston 8 movie theater and The Blue Fish—award winning 4-star Japanese sushi restaurant (originator of the Ahi Tower), are also in Bayou Place. Fine dining, fountains, and parks are interspersed throughout the Theater District.

The 6-acre Houston Aquarium Adventure Exhibit is in the Downtown Theater District. The Aquarium’s main attraction is the 500,000 gal. aquarium exhibiting 300 species of fish and marine life from around the world. A Giant Pacific Octopus can be viewed from the sunken hull of a 17th century Spanish galleon. The Rainforest exhibit features tropical river and forest creatures. A train takes visitors through a glass tunnel for a close-up encounter with shark species as they swim above and around in this thrilling exhibit. Dining at the undersea restaurant completes the aquatic wonderworld experience.

The Historic District on the northern edge of Downtown features 19th century architecture of notable buildings and many upscale restaurants offering award-winning cuisine. The many one and two-story residential cottages and bungalows in Queen Anne, Craftsman, Colonial Revival, and other historic styles, give this district the ambience of a charming neighborhood. Visitors can experience the diverse epicurean style of Houston with a Houston Culinary Tour. Foody magazines, such as Bon Appetite, Food & Wine, and Saveur regularly feature the creations of Houston’s internationally renowned chefs and James Beard Award-winning restaurants. Taco trucks and ethnic markets are also popular. Eating out is a favorite American pastime, and people in Houston eat out more than residents of any other city!

The Museum District is the nation’s 4th largest with 18 major cultural venues—museums, galleries, cultural centers—within blocks of each other. The original building of the Museum of Fine Arts/Houston opened in 1924 and features ancient art to modern masterpieces. Additions in 1958 and 1970 were designed in the modern international style by renowned architect, Mies van der Rohe. The Rothko Chapel, commissioned by Dominique de Menil, was designed by Mark Rothko and features his famous black-hued paintings. Opened in 1971, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. Other award-winning buildings in this district are the 1968 Miller Outdoor Theater and 1997 Chapel of St Basil designed by famed architect, Philip Johnson. John & Dominique de Menil’s extensive art collection is housed in the Menil Collection Contemporary Art Museum.

Downtown Houston is also the Central Business District (CBD) Skyline District famed for its award-winning towers and skyscrapers. Allen’s Landing on Buffalo Bayou is where brothers August C. and John K. Allen stepped ashore in 1836 and founded Houston, laying claim to the area. The city of Houston began its development around Allen’s Landing and the Market Square, location of the Market Square Towers, a luxury high-rise apartment building featuring amenities such as a rooftop infinity pool, golf simulator, private movie theatre, sauna, fitness, game room and many other amenities. Barnaby’s Café and Batanga Tapas + Drinks are popular eateries in Market Square.

Some of the most notable skyscrapers of the CBD Skyline are I.M. Pei’s Hilton Houston Post Oak Hotel located just one block from the luxurious Houston Galleria upscale shopping mall. The JP Morgan Chase Bank Building (Gulf Building) is an art deco skyscraper completed in 1929. A privately funded restoration was begun in 1989 of this 430 ft 51-story building. The 714 ft, 50-floor One Shell Plaza (now 910 Louisiana) built in 1971, was the first major skyscraper in Houston. The JP Morgan Chase Tower is Houston’s tallest at 1,002 ft with 75 floors.

The 5-sided tower was designed by I.M. Pei and completed in 1982. The Pennzoil Plaza, built in 1976, is Houston’s most award-winning skyscraper for its innovative design by Philip Johnson. Wells Fargo Bank Plaza, completed in 1983, was the second tallest in Houston and Texas at the time. Renovated in 2020, the WFB Plaza connects to the skybridge and pedestrian tunnels. The 35-story Bank of America Center, completed in 1984, was one of the first examples of the postmodern architectural style designed by Philip Johnson and John Burgee. The first section is 21 stories, and the entire building is 56 stories. It features 5 pedestrian tunnel connections to Houston’s 6-mile tunnel network. Heritage Plaza, a 53-story, 696-ft tower, was completed in 1986 and was one of the last major buildings before the oil glut collapsed Texas real estate, banking, and oil industries in the mid-1980s. The tower is noted for its resemblance to the ziggurat form of a Mayan temple at the top. Fulbright Tower is a 52-story skyscraper built in 1982.

In Uptown Houston, the landmark Williams Tower is the tallest building at 901 feet. Built in 1983, it was designed by Philip Johnson and features a rotating spotlight peering into the horizon. Named “Skyscraper of the Century” in Texas Monthly’s Dec. 1999 issue. Also a landmark and listed on National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), the Art Deco Merchants and Manufacturers Building (M&M Bldg) built in 1930, was the largest building in Houston back then. It has been part of the University of Houston-Downtown since 1974. The Uptown District features other structures designed by famed architects I.M. Pei, César Pelli, and Philip Johnson. Many older (1920s) office towers have been converted into residential condos and lofts with the resurgence of urban living in the late 20th century.

The Buffalo Bayou (river) slowly meanders through Houston in Harris County, Texas. Its source is in the prairie area around Katy, TX of Metro Houston, and Fort Bend County. Buffalo Bayou flows approximately 53 miles east through the Houston Ship Channel into Galveston Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Buffalo Bayou is also fed by natural springs, surface runoff, flood control reservoirs, and tributary bayous such as White Oak Bayou, Green Bayou, and Brays Bayou. As the principal waterway of Greater Houston, it is heavily urbanized with surrounding linear parks and parks with frontage. Texas Parks and Wildlife manages a paddling trail with a canoe launch in Briarbend Park, and there are access points in other parks with frontage.

The Bayou widens as it flows eastward, after joining White Oak Bayou, and finally to the Houston Ship Channel that is part of Port Houston, one of the world’s busiest seaports. The Channel accommodates transoceanic vessels, such as tankers and container transport ships, between Houston area terminals and the Gulf of Mexico in addition to inland barge traffic. The Channel is a natural waterway that was widened and deepened by dredging the Buffalo Bayou and Galveston Bay.

Houston is the city for non-stop shopping with Houston Premium Outlets, upscale Houston Galleria featuring 375 shops—70 exclusive to Houston, 30 restaurants, 2 hotels, an ice rink, plus major department stores like Macy’s—the largest dept. store chain in the United States, and there are many fine stores, boutiques, and more in the various districts of Downtown Houston. International shoppers are reimbursed for state sales tax on every purchase with a “Tax Free Texas” 10% off Visitors Saving Pass at Macy’s, as a rebate issued for sales tax paid. Exchanges are at Houston International Airport, Houston Premium Outlets, and other malls. Have your passports and receipts ready!

Houston has a vibrant music scene, especially Blues! Aficionados of Blues history can browse record stores for collectible vinyl, such as Vinal Edge, Cactus Music, Sig’s Lagoon, and others. For live music, award-winning singer/songwriter and Houston native, Nathan Quick recommends McGonigel’s Mucky Duck, White Oak Music Hall, Continental Club, and the 8th Wonder Brewery (from visittheusa.com). Of course, this cosmopolitan city has something for everyone in its eclectic, diverse neighborhoods
