1. Eleanor Tinsley Park
Open to the public since the late 1990s, Eleanor Tinsley Park is a section of Buffalo Bayou Park offering breathtaking views of the Houston city skyline as well as great opportunities to have a picnic on a sunny day. Located at 18-3600 Allen Parkway, this green area sits on the banks of the Buffalo Bayou and is less than two miles northwest of the Central Business District.
If you visit Eleanor Tinsley Park on a clear day, try to stay until sunset to take some amazing pictures of the city’s skyscrapers during the golden hour. This public park is one of the most popular hangout spots among locals and regularly features temporary exhibitions, outdoor events, music festivals, and fairs.
2. Z on 23 Rooftop
Located at 1121 Walker Street in the heart of Houston’s downtown area, Z on 23 Rooftop offers not only some of the most breathtaking views of the city but also delicious American comfort food. As the largest open-air rooftop in the city, this place is open every day of the week between 3:00 pm and 12:00 pm, making it a fantastic choice for a date or a dinner with a view.
Thanks to its centric location, Z on 23 Rooftop can be easily reached on foot from most other local landmarks in the Houston city center.
