The Menil Collection, Rothko Chapel 1533 Sul Ross St
My friends asked me to take them to my favorite spot in Houston and I took them here. Showing the Menil's private collection and also rotating exhibits, I easily fall in love with the Menil over and over again. Houston has such a large, diverse art community and I think the Menil houses the best of what Houston has to offer. The space is so beautiful and serene, I always feel so inspired after spending an afternoon here. Also, it just so happens the Menil showcases my favorite Warhol piece, Flowers, 1964.
We also walked over to the Rothko Chapel, a meditative space housing large scale Rothko paintings. The space is so eerie but calming. It is unlike any other place I've ever set foot in.
Common Bond Bakery 1706 Westheimer Road
We headed over to this recently opened spot for some much needed food.

Space 1706 Westheimer Road
We walked right next door to check out space. It features handcrafted goods and focuses on local artists. Everything in this shop is too cute and it's impossible to walk out empty handed. It's the perfect alternative for a typical souvenir shop when you want to find something that is unique to Houston or Texas.
Buffalo Bayou Bridge 3600 Memorial Dr
We made an unexpected stop at Buffalo Bayou Park. We were on our way to see the giant president heads (which are now no longer there) when my friend thought it was the perfect view of downtown. We walked along the park and took in some fresh air and skyline views.
Outdoor patio, Houston beer, tacos, and queso.

My friends were able to catch the last weekend of the Rodeo and have their share of fried food, cattle, carnival rides, country music and more.
