Whether you’re looking to take the family out to dinner or need a day away from packing, Houston, Texas has you covered. Here are some ideas on how to enjoy the city once more before you go:

Explore the food options

Known as the “Culture and Culinary Capital of Texas,” Houston is home to 10,000-plus restaurants representing more than 70 countries and American regions.
