Used to live around that area (2014 - 2016). My recommendations are below. All are pretty close to where you are staying. 

  • Midtown for going out/bars. Dogwood was my personal fav. Quick Uber from where you are staying.
  • if you are runner i'd hit up memorial park and run a loop (3 miles). I was out of shape running 7:30 miles and passed a shit ton of people every run (huge confidence boost lol)
  • Rice's campus, not huge but I thought it was cool. If its open i'd check out their on campus bar called Valhalla. Also, Rice Village has some nice restaurants / bars, way more chill vibes compared to Midtown.
  • DO NOT GO TO GALVESTON, you're welcome
  • If you're into malls Galleria is right by you, kind of lame, but their is an ice rink hahaha
  • Pappasitos Mexican on Upper Kirby is real good
  • Whataburger for Fast food. The triple with cheese was my jam
  • Also some cool bars around the heights area. Lincoln Bar and Little Woodrows were the two I used to frequent.
  • Star Pizza was my go to if you are in the mood for Pizza
  • Torchy's is good, but honestly I thought it was overrated (also they have them outside of Houston)
