Color Factory, Seismique, POST Food Hall, MKT, Buffalo Bayou Park, Herman Park (go to Japanese Gardens), Sawyer Yards (open art studios).

For good food, go to Bellaire Chinatown and pick anything in the Dun Huang Plaza. Lots of great cuisines and great desert choices.

St Arnold’s brewery. If you like college football go have some beer and food and watch some games this Saturday!

There is amazing food everywhere. Any particular cuisine you’re interested in? Happy to share some of my favorites.

Literally anything! I’m already aware of Rosie’s Cannonball, Nancy’s Hustle, Bori, Uchi as great restaurants but open for new suggestions!

Galleria, water wall. Museum of Natural science

Head to the museum district and pick one (art museum, natural science, Houston Zoo), visit Rothko Chapel, hang out in Hermann Park (McGovern Centennial Gardens are fun and/or see if there’s any performances this weekend at the Miller Outdoor Theatre), Memorial Park, watch the bats emerge from the Waugh Dr. Bridge and visit Buffalo Bayou Park. Plus all the awesome restaurants and watering holes.

What part of town do you live in? I personally think you can find a lot of cool spots in most htown hoods.

Breweries

Check out the Buffalo Bayou Cistern for something cool and unique.

I currently make 78k at Lockheed but I’m not doing what I’d like to be doing and i felt stuck and after many conversations with my manager and no solution in sight, I started applying elsewhere. I just recently got an offer from a smaller AI company for 95k that I plan to accept. I’m happy to make the jump, I just don’t know how my manager/coworkers will react when I tell them I’m leaving.
