Montrose 

Montrose covers approximately four square miles, bordered by Buffalo Bayou's Allen Parkway on the north, the Museum District and Highway 59 on the south, Bagby Street and the revitalized Midtown on the east and the Upper Kirby District and Shepherd Drive on the west. This snippet from a review in The New York Times captures this unique neighborhood's style and essence...

"Montrose is a pocket of eccentricity and diversity where fine restaurants, antique stores, art galleries and some of the city's top museums can be found. But so can junk shops, tattoo parlors, tarot readers and vintage clothing boutiques. Coffeehouses and sidewalk cafes, and a mishmash of architectural styles... are also key ingredients of Montrose's eclectic style." ~The New York Times, 2002

And that's exactly what you'll find here... almost everything! Delectable cuisine for every palate and pocketbook, from raspberry linzer tarts at kraftsmen bakery, to the "pastalicious" menu at Michelangelo's, Houston's first sidewalk cafe that's still a favorite among romantics; Cultural and artistic diversity, from the colorful creations of Texas Tattoo Emporium, to the inspirational art and architecture of the nearby Byzantine Fresco Chapel Museum.

Rosenkavalier is filled with remarkable antiques, including Italian and French hand-carved beds. Or you can antique shop all day long and into the night along Westheimer's famous "curve," taking a peaceful reflective intermission in the quiet, subdued splendor of nearby John and Dominique de Menil's Rothko Chapel.

Brasil and The Empire Cafe serve up their distinctive brands of urbane casual morsels and libations, while Hugo's delights the taste buds with its regional Mexican temptations. Indulge in a classic English shepherd's pie (and more) at The Black Labrador, or take comfort in the very best of modern / new American at Mark's American Cuisine, located in a small 1920s Gothic church.

Just minutes away, at the intersection of West Gray and South Shepherd, you'll encounter a mind-boggling array of fine shopping and dining haunts at the River Oaks Shopping Center. Top off your afternoon or evening here with a savory Italian meal at Birraporetti's and take in an award-winning independent or foreign film at the famed [Landmark] River Oaks Theatre.

The Montrose plays host to a sprinkling of new condominiums and larger apartment communities, with the majority of rental properties being cozy, privately-owned bungalows, complexes, duplexes, fourplexes and townhomes. Many of them are older properties that have been fully-renovated and nicely-updated, and quite luxuriously-so in a number of locations.
