"First Stop in Downtown Houston"

Milam Street is one of the first streets you'll encounter in downtown Houston. Whenever I arrive, whether I take a taxi into the city, or a shuttle bus, or even the (shockingly nice) city bus from the airport, the freeway empties out here, and I always end up on Milam Street in the middle of downtown Houston.

Milam Street is in the middle of the business district, which means it's only really busy during office hours, but it's home to many of the city's biggest hotels (including my favorite (the Hyatt Regency). It doesn't have many great places on its own, but it's a fine street to know if you want to reach shopping, parks or museums on your trip.
