"Behind the Ballpark, Into the Pretty Park"

This isn't New York City, but the Avenida de Las Americas in Houston is interesting all by itself. The street, part of the new east Downtown redevelopment, runs behind the shiny new Minute Maid ballpark, along the very fancy George R Brown Convention Center, and plumb into Houston's new downtown meeting place, the very pretty Discovery Green Park.

Discovery Green on the Avenida de Las Americas has a great little snackhouse disguised as a boathouse, wooden walkways crossing scenic little ponds, and coolest of all: remote control boats that you can drive around the miniature lakes!

This is a terrific street through an amazing park that makes a bright, refreshing Sunday afternoon for families, couples, retired people, children... everyone!
