Main St, Binz

Despite what you may have heard about this street and area, it is one of the nicest, and well kept streets in Houston. There isn't a whole lot to do, but what they do have is culture and great places to eat. It is family friendly and best of all, there isn't as much noise as you would expect from a city street, especially in Houston.
I think everyone from singles, to families, both young and old, male and female will have a great time here, just looking around, getting a bite to eat, and enjoying a little bit of peace with their city experience.

The area around the Montrose Westheimer intersection is well known for being a gay neighborhood. As long as you are not homophobic this is a great place to hang out. I take my kids there alll the time and there are some great restaurants like Niko Nikos or La Mexicana (great decor and a covered patio) nearby. Montrose runs from the Mecom fountain and the museums to the Bayou. Great stuff to do and see and great people to meet if you keep an open mind.
