Rice
Just minutes from the world-renowned Texas Medical Center is Rice University, Houston's internationally- and academically-acclaimed college founded by William Marsh Rice, with the surrounding neighborhood also inheriting the Rice family name.
Another Rice family namesake, popular Rice Village shopping center, known locally as simply 'The Village,' is an eclectic mix of retro strip centers and new mall-like structures such as the Village Arcade, which features nostalgic design touches like its vintage movie-theater sign.
G&G Model Shop, Dromgoole's Writing Supplies and Houston Numismatic Exchange are local institutions situated in the midst of contemporary venues including Starbucks, Ann Taylor, A Pea in the Pod (for expectant mothers), Gap stores, Chico's, Talbots, Urban Outfitters and American Eagle.
Serious fashionistas will adore Lot 8, featuring the designs of Houstonian Chloe Dao, a winner on Bravo's Project Runway series. Other local gems include Cookie Bouquet for a deliciously unique gift; Half-Price Books for your must-have reads; and the Village Flowery for all things lush and green.
After an intensive fashion spree, shoppers go in droves to Beautique, The Village's legendary salon / spa offering fine hair, nail and skincare services since long before spas became trendy.
At night, The Village is stage to excellent productions at Main Street Theater, as well the exciting backdrop for a variety of divine pubs and clubs for libations, including The Big Easy for blues aficionados, Kay's, a student fave, The Ginger Man, for an unmatched menu of tasty brews, and Brian O'Neill's Irish Pub for delectable pub grub as well as tongue-tickling brews.
And if you're all about savory international cuisine, you'll be in food heaven. Relish Cuban fare at El Meson, Spanish tapas at Mi Luna, Chinese favorites at Fu's Garden, Italian classics at Prego, and exceptional French cuisine at Croissant Brioche, La Madeleine and Cafe Rebelais.
The Rice area boasts a variety of excellent rental options, including condominiums, apartments, and some mid-rises and high-rises, featuring appointments that will appease even the most-discerning tastes.
