Houston 2025

Houston was a fun little weekend getaway that I wouldn’t mind returning to again.

We went for the Cowboy Carter Tour but also enjoyed:

The Pit Room (delicious barbecue)
Behind Closed Doors (cute speakeasy)
Houston Pride (impromptu!)
Cherry (fun dance party)
Angel Share (great food and drinks)
8^th Wonder Brewery (fun brewery with THC drinks)
Hugo’s (good brunch)

We went to the breakfast klub multiple times, but apparently never early enough to beat the long, long lines.

A mirrored unicorn sculpture suspended overhead, its mosaic surface reflecting green, red, and gold lights that scatter across the ceiling and surrounding space, creating a playful, dreamlike glow. A large painted portrait of Dolly Parton with voluminous hair and hoop earrings, wearing a denim jacket and gazing to the side, mounted above a warmly lit bar with hanging lamps and exposed brick. A tall vertical mural of vividly colored butterflies stacked in flight along the side of a high-rise building, contrasting with glass windows, concrete facades, and a cloudy urban sky. Four stylized stone statues of the Beatles standing in a line outdoors, each holding an instrument while a drummer sits at a kit, set against grass, industrial buildings, and an overcast sky. Abstract layered sculptures of seated and standing human figures arranged in a landscaped garden, with manicured hedges and a large colorful mural on a civic building visible in the background. A glowing neon sign reading YOU’RE SO COOL in bright pink and purple light, mounted on a textured brick wall and casting a soft, colorful halo around the letters.
