Eat.
Houston’s Bay Area has something for every foodie. For tasty Thai food, try Merlion in the heart of Seabrook, then soothe your sweet tooth with decadent dessert waffles at Seabrook Waffle Company. When in Kemah, stop by Tookie’s—a Bay Area staple with mouthwatering burgers—and T-Bone Tom’s, where you can dine like a local under the giant palapa with cold drinks, hot food, and live music. Mediterraneo Market & Café in Nassau Bay offers up Greek classics, and live music and belly dancers on the weekends. In League City, try Craft 96 and Main St. Bistro for imaginative modern twists on your favorite dishes.

For an authentically Texan experience, check out the Butler Longhorn Museum, home to the largest collection of longhorn history in the world.
A sophisticated waterfront city, Nassau Bay is also across the street from Space Center Houston—the most popular attraction in the Houston Metro region. Take a tram tour to visit Historic Mission Control, get up close to the enormous Saturn V rocket, and walk beneath a flown SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Stop by Nassau Bay Peninsula Wildlife Park, a 76acre wetland, for an easy stroll with rewarding views of Clear Lake.
