"The vibrancy of Hermann Park, which celebrated its centennial in 2014, comes from the six million visitors who come every year, all entering past a giant statue of Sam Houston. You can spend an entire day here; Hermann Park is home to the Houston Zoo, situated in the middle of the 445-acre spread, the Miller Outdoor Theatre (a free performing-arts venue), a Japanese Zen garden, an 18-hole golf course, bird-watching, and the scenic McGovern Centennial Gardens. For fishing enthusiasts, there's a lake filled with bass and catfish."

Can't Go Wrong With Pancakes and Eggs: Our 8 Favorite Diners
"Despite its four area locations, the historic (since 1938!) chain manages to avoid feeling like one thanks to its electric, old-school staff, who are happy to call you by your name and even happier to tell you what to order. Standouts include the chicken-fried steak and eggs, caramel-pecan-banana challah French toast, and corned beef hash. At lunch, the juicy Drug Store Burgers are a reminder that the best examples of the form need not be dressed with foie gras, aioli or artisan greens to be satisfying."
