The style-savvy residents of the country\u2019s fourth-largest city and\u00a0third-largest county (Harris)<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0know that there\u2019s no place quite like Houston.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With more than 2.2 million residents, the city attracts visitors and transplants with a wonderful mix of\u00a0world-class arts<\/a><\/strong>, booming business,\u00a0pro sports<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0award-winning cuisine<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As the rest of the country discovers what locals have known all along, Houston is finally enjoying the recognition it deserves.\u00a0<\/span>National headlines<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>citing Houston as a must-visit appear on the regular, calling the city “the New Capital of Southern Cool” (GQ<\/strong><\/a>), and “the Houston dining scene is the most exciting it’s ever been” (Food & Wine<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n

See for yourself, here in Houston, where much of daily life happens outdoors, thanks to mild, year-round temperatures. Take time to explore the eclectic, culture-filled\u00a0neighborhoods<\/strong><\/a>, gallery spaces and\u00a0attractions<\/a><\/strong>, which offer diverse flavors that can only be found here.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Ninfa's<\/a><\/p>\n

Take the food, for example. Countless cutting-edge chefs have made a home in Houston, where diners eat out more than residents of any other city. Here, you\u2019ll find James Beard Award winners and internationally renowned chefs serving up innovative cuisine that frequently catches the attention of foodies in\u00a0<\/span>Mic.com<\/b><\/a>,\u00a0Food & Wine<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>Bon Appetit<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Venture\u00a0Downtown<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0during your stay and discover a thriving professional arts scene, with professional resident companies in\u00a0ballet<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0opera<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0symphony<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0theater<\/a><\/strong>; only four other U.S. cities can say the same. And the nearby\u00a0Museum District<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0stakes its claim as the country\u2019s fourth-largest, with 18 cultural powerhouses set within blocks of one another.<\/p>\n

\"Discovery<\/a><\/p>\n

Houston has its\u00a0own version of Central Park, too, offering nearly 1,500 acres of green space in the heart of the city.\u00a0 Just inside “the loop,”\u00a0Memorial Park<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is home to a public golf course, swimming pool, tennis courts, trails and more. Downtown,\u00a0Discovery Green<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0park is outfitted with WiFi, a farmers market, dog runs, fine dining and ice-skating during the winter\u2014just one more of the\u00a0<\/span>650-plus urban green spaces<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>filling the city.<\/p>\n

Not surprisingly, businesses also recognize the allure of Houston\u2019s offerings.\u00a0 Twenty-five companies on the Fortune 500 list call the Energy Capital of the World home. Aeronautic research is unsurpassed at NASA headquarters\u2014the facility responsible for putting the first man on the moon\u2014and Texas Medical Center remains the largest in the world with 47 highly lauded research and treatment institutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
