Have the time of your life as you spend the evening at Houston’s happy place, where you can gather around and enjoy all the socializing and good feels at Electric Feelgood, where the décor is a throwback to the 90s style with neon signs, geometric paintings, and signs with smiley faces. Chill under the neon lights, where the experience is what you make it. Take a selfie that is Instagram-ready with one click, or sit on the patio and order from the drink menu that offers cocktails that are just as fun as the décor with quirky ingredients and catchy names. Hungry from all the fun you're having? Order from the food menu that offers flatbreads, salads, spiced red potatoes, and much more.

Glenwood Cemetery is one of Houston's historic landmarks that accommodates some of the most delightful statues and impressive landscapes that rival those of many arboretums, making it the perfect place for a quiet refuge and peaceful meditation amid inspiring natural beauty. Glenwood also provides a place for families, visitors, and community members to gather and host events, such as educational seminars, and is a place to research and connect with history. Many prominent Texans from the days of the Republic until the present are buried here, and the names on the elaborately carved marble and granite will remind you of the rich heritage.
