Memorial, a suburban neighborhood west of downtown, is booming with new restaurants, shops, and fun activities for your whole crew. Whether you want to eat some good ol’ Texas barbecue, splurge on fine dining, or enjoy local theater, this part of Houston has tons for you to explore.
🛍️ Memorial City Mall Isn’t Your Average Shopping Center
Head to Memorial City Mall, which keeps expanding and adding new stores, restaurants, and other fun events for Houstonians to enjoy. You might be expecting typical mall food, but instead get excited to try Texas-inspired dishes at nearby Haywire, delicious barbecue at The Pit Room, or South Texas-inspired plates at Credence. The Square, the mall’s outdoor community space, hosts events perfect for the whole family, including upcoming Easter pictures for pets and your kiddos. And then, shop until you drop at the over 150 stores across the mall😉
