Cafe Brasil holds a dear place in our hearts. J'nae had her 18th bday here. They have great food and a cool atmosphere. Great for breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks and work vibes! They also have a huge front and back patio. Our close friend DJ Anarchy spins on Thursday evenings. It is surrounded by greenery and could be missed when arriving.

Cute, cozy, refreshing coffee shop in 3rd ward. All vegan food and good vibes. Lots of people come here to work or meet up. It is very rare to go and not run into someone you know. It is on the same street as Project Row House, which is a non-profit that provides space to local artist to showcase the talents and goods.

Sunshines is a local health food store that has been around for years. It is black owned and held close to out community. The wait times are pretty long. I would recommend ordering online or over the phone and going in to pick up. We love the garlic kale salad and black bean burger.

On Thursdays we go to the museums! (because they are FREE). The MFAH is one of my favorites and they just built the contemporary MFAH. It is huge and I personally can not wait to go back. I was only able to get through 1 of the 3 floors.

Enjoy the museum and the park. Lots of locals like to gather here and enjoy the sun. Have a picnic, maybe take a free yoga or meditation class, meet locals. This is definitely a hidden gem
