East Downtown is where Houston shows off. In a single walkable neighborhood you get pro sports, craft beer, street art, and some of the city's best food. Here are ten things worth your time in EaDo.
The list
- 1. Catch an Astros game at Minute Maid Park, right on EaDo's edge.
- 2. See the Rockets (or a concert) at nearby Toyota Center.
- 3. Do a brewery crawl — EaDo is Houston's craft-beer core.
- 4. Hunt for murals — the neighborhood is an ever-changing open-air gallery.
- 5. Eat tacos from a truck, a taqueria, or both.
- 6. Grab craft cocktails at one of the local bars after dark.
- 7. Watch soccer at the nearby stadium when the season's on.
- 8. Explore Houston's diverse eats — Vietnamese, Korean, Latin American, and more.
- 9. Ride the METRORail into downtown museums and dining, car-free.
- 10. Just wander — EaDo rewards an aimless afternoon on foot.
