Guidebook for Houston
Food Scene
A Heights Neighborhood restaurant serving rustic Italian cuisine with a gulf coast perspective.
Only open for dinner. They do not accept reservations, but you can call ahead to get on the wait list. It's a 5-7 minute walk from your private room, so you can still be getting ready while you're in line. Also great for take-out.

The Rice University Campus is an oasis in downtown Houston and a favorite outdoor space for many Houstonians. Walking and running trails, thousands of mature trees, and lovely old buildings are spread over this 300-acre campus.

Stop in at the Welcome Center at Lovett Hall for more information on the latest things to see at Rice University.
