Live Like a Local in Memorial

-

Traverse Houston One of the Most Famous Roads in Named after the famed street, Memorial Dr, which bends through the many villages just south of I-10, the Memorial area of Houston is one of the most notable communitie­s in all of Harris County. Day 1: It’s Time to Blow Off Some Steam Start your day off right by visiting Hungry’s. Cooking up a wide range of sandwiches, wraps, and breakfast dishes, this unique brunch hot spot can be found right on Memorial Dr just west of Dairy Ashford. You’ll while away your afternoon in one of the city’s best comeback stories—the Memorial City Mall, which went from dying in the late 90’s to completely renovated in the early 2000’s. Get fitted with the perfect outfit for your special occasion at Marlo Miller Boutique, then check out the model train scenes at Memorial City Station. In the ultra-chic atmosphere of Brush & Blush Blow Dry Bar, luxuriate in one of their profession­al hairstyle blowouts. Finish your afternoon at Athena Gun Club, a luxury gun range where you can be educated by trained profession­als in responsibl­e firearm safety. When you dine at Taste of Texas, you’re joining the ranks of Houstonian­s across the city who’ve indulged in this rite of passage. This steakhouse lets patrons select their own cuts of meat, and pair their filet or ribeye with the legendary salad bar. You don’t need to leave the area to find the perfect place to stay for the night. Hotel Sorella inside Citycentre Plaza truly defines opulence, and you’ll enjoy every modern amenity on your relaxing stay. Day 2: Nothing but a Good Time Wake up in Citycentre Plaza and slip downstairs to the Sweet Paris Crêperie & Café just across the street for some breakfast and caffeine. In the late morning, take the kids to Nottingham Park and play in the splash park or bring a friend for a carefree round of disc golf. If nature trails are more your forte, visit Terry Hershey Park instead for a little hiking or cycling. With the Energy Corridor based nearby, there are dozens of delicious lunch spots in the area. We recommend State Fare Kitchen & Bar where they serve up funky burgers and southern cuisine. If you’re ever in the market for an exquisite property, the realtors at Martha Turner Sotheby’s Internatio­nal Realty will guide you through the process to ensure you snag the home of your dreams. This way, you’ll be able to experience Memorial every day.
