Rice Blvd, West University Place

There are so many great stores here...European Walking Store, House of Coffee Beans, Wolf Camera, and my favorite Fleet Feet Sports. I love to bring my kids here when we come to visit family. We can spend all day walking around to the shops and eat all in the same place. Wonderful place for families to visit.

this street is exactly what it is supposed to be all about. you can make a full day of fun right here and you dont' have to drive from one place to another. You can have breakfast, go find something to do, go shopping, have lunch, go do more shopping or go see a movie, and then have a nice dinner at one of the mid to higher priced restaurants. There is something for all ages and genders here. You have to make it a point to come to this street if you are in Houston. One of the best streets for people watching too.

Rice Boulevard is the main street into "Rice Village", and the main street that runs through it too. The Village is the neighborhood of small shops, restaurants and cafes next to Rice University, and the whole area has a young, alternative feel.

There are rasta shops on Rice, sexy alternative clothing shops, tattoo parlors, and healthy food stores.... I just love wandering around here and enjoying the street life, which is lower on car traffic and higher on cute people than most of Houston. This street would be right at home on one of the more progressive coasts, so finding it in the middle of conservative Houston is a blessing!
