Guidebook for Houston
Food Scene
One of the few places in Houston that hand prepares their own syrups! I'm not that fond of their desserts, but for flavored coffee and a bagel, not much beats Three Brothers! Anytime is usually a good time because it's quite large and accommodating.

The longest trail through Houston, and, in fact, through any major city in Texas. The Buffalo Bayou trail goes from here all the way west to the outskirts of the city! A very fun place to bike and have a good run but still stay within the city.
