Featured Neighborhood: Midtown
Are you the life of the party? Do you like being the friend with the great food and drink recommendations? Are you a walking Yelp review for the best bars within a five-mile radius? Then you deserve to live in a neighborhood that fits your lifestyle. Well, look no further — Midtown was made for you! This featured neighborhood is the hub of trendy AF bars, Insta-worthy brunches, and latte art so pretty, you tag your snap #nofilter. Welcome to Midtown!
Why Midtown?
You may be looking to mix it up a bit and switch HTX neighborhoods, or perhaps you aren’t even from Houston at all, and you’re sitting here wondering, “What’s so great about Midtown? Why do I keep hearing about it? Why am I talking to myself and this random blog post is quoting it verbatim?”
Well, let us tell you a little something: Midtown whispers to those who belong, no matter how far they may be. Every time you sit with friends at an okay-joint, and speak up about a great new gastropub around the corner, that’s the chic foodie in you. Every cocktail you snap for the Gram with a glitter gif, that’s the social butterfly in you. Every time you and the bestie take turn snapping pics, that’s the good friend in you.
This neighborhood is for those that never want to be too far away from a good afternoon that turns into a great night.
But in all seriousness, this neighborhood isn’t just one big club. It’s got so much more to offer. Midtown is aptly named, placing you in the center– ahem, sorry, middle– of it all. With plenty of BCycle and METROrail stations throughout, it’s a walkable community with a trendy vibe.
What to do??
BRUNCH
Where do we begin? With brunch, obviously!! One of our locators, Jessica, swears by Weights + Measures for their weekend brunch menu, which includes delicious plates such as Pan Seared Salmon Fillet, Baked Brioche French Toast, and Morning Cracked Egg Pizza. No brunch would be complete without a nice drink, so add a classic mimosa or try their “Apple a Day”!
MIDTOWN PARK
Enjoy the outdoors? Same! After enjoying a brunch with the besties, take a stroll through Midtown Park, with beautiful surroundings including an art wall, reflecting pool, garden walk, and even a playground for the kids. A great little green getaway just a short trip away!
