in walking distance to the fun shops and restaurants of the Historic Heights. The
three rooms at in this large Arts and Crafts-era bungalow are all classically comfort-
able.

feels right at home among the historic houses of the Heights. Eleven airy rooms say
'boutique hotel' more than 'frilly B&B.' But the the inn still has the kind of sprawling
Southern porch that makes you want to gossip over mint juleps.
Eating
Houston's restaurant scene is smokin' hot - and we don't just mean the salsa. In fact,

New York Times
and
GQ Magazine
have both touted the city's offerings. To keep abreast of what's in and what
