A favorite destination for downtowners and visitors alike, the Historic District makes you want to stay awhile. Perched on the northern edge of downtown, you’ll see quaint and historic building facades lining the streets, each one more delightful than the next. With a high concentration of residential buildings, the Historic District feels like a neighborhood despite the skyscrapers just a few blocks away. At the heart is Market Square Park. Local residents love the park for its dog run, green space, live music, movie nights and authentic Greek and American café. Old collides with new just across the street, where swanky new bistros, coffee shops and small nightclubs nestle nicely next to cozy, historic bars – many of which have been quenching our collective thirst for more than 30 years. Rounding out the neighborhood is Allen’s Landing at Buffalo Bayou, Houston’s “Plymouth Rock” and home of the newly restored Sunset Coffee Building.
