If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Houston is so rich with culture that I must say the first stop is food, we’re going from Ramen to Tex-Mex to the best barbecue that one can find ooh we can’t forget Houston has some of the best places for seafood definitely in crawfish season . We definitely have to show them what Houston has to offer so we’ll definitely going to heat up things up with a little pass around the city skydiving, a couple museums and then after that we’re going to go deeper into the amazing culture and art work around the city . And in the right season at the right time Galveston beach will be a hit it’s just an amazing thing to let night fall let’s go out on a night ride when a slingshot maybe or even a night in the best nightclub atmosphere Houston hands down drinks are appropriate for every occasion.
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
