Food scene
Our favorite restaurant on the East side of Houston, hard to get in without a reservation but totally worth the wait. The Nancy's cakes, lamb tartar, gnocchi and dumplings are the best.

Ride sharing!
Personally, ride sharing is the best way to get around Houston, if you don't want to pay big bucks on a rental car. Our home is centrally located so as long as our aren't planning on taking any long trips we recommend using ride sharing apps. Houston is a definitely a driving city, although we have public transportation they aren't as accessible as other cities.
