Entertainment & Activities
Katy Trail is a beautifully landscaped trail, currently running from the American Airlines Center to close to SMU. Most of the trail has a bike path and a separate walking/jogging trail. An amazing place to walk, bike, run, very dog-friendly. Katy Trail Ice House is a perfect place (complete with fans and misters) to grab a local, draft or imported beer and excellent tacos and nachos.

Brilliant views over the city, worth visiting the tower for the view alone. Cafe was good, rotates so you get 360 views. One of the highlights so far.

Food Scene
Great lunch spot. The best buffalo shrimp and cajun crab legs around. This is a nice lunch spot. Even on a hot sunny day you can relax outside on the covered patio with mist fans. Fried shrimp, boiled shrimp with potatoes and corn, oysters on the half shell, catfish...all excellent. Be sure to share a Gelato Trio for dessert. They are reasonably price.
