[Dating] Need a good romantic walking area in Downtown

Discovery green.

 

http://www.houstonpress.com/arts/the-rest-of-the-best-houstons-top-10-romantic-spots-6376395 These selections actually are not bad.

 

Along Allen Parkway there is Buffalo Bayou Park. I'm not sure how safe that area is after dark though.

Hermann Park and the Japanese Gardens.

There are some nicer walking areas outside of downtown.

Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens in River Oaks area.

Rice Univ campus is a nice area to walk around. School is not in session now so it is even calmer and quieter.

Menil Collection, Rothko Chapel and the Byzantine Fresco Chapel are all free so you can browse around those areas at your leisure. They are pretty decent.

If you head a little bit to the West side of town Terry Hershey park is an amazing place to stroll around with lots of trees, flowers and wildlife.

 

Walk just directly south of downtown. You will end up in this place called "Third Ward". It is very romantic and safe at night.

 

I'll second the Hermann Park and Japenese Gardens suggestion. Had a buddy propose to his girl there this week.

 

along the gatebridge from IAH terminal to an aircraft destined for a place with better and more romantic summer weather. sneak to the lavratory for extra milehigh romance on the way too.

 

Bend her over on Tal's Hill in Minute Maid Park after hours when security is gone. Thank me later.

 

Take her to this place called Aga's Restaurant on West Bellfrot and 59. Most underrated DESI food.

Order the Lamb Chops and the Chicken Makhani. Really Really GOOD!

I'd say Discovery Green is always a good bet.

Watch out for the bums downtown though, they run rampant.

 

What time in the day/night are you going? Discovery Green gets kinda loud with all the kids running around especially on the weekends. So it's not the most private/quiet area to walk around and talk.

 

The good thing about discovery green at night is that they have the horse and carriage rides to make it even more romantic. The downside is that the parks not overly big, so depending on how much time you can kill walking/lounging you may need another spot. Also, the grove next door is a great spot for drinks, although I'm not sure what their hours are.

 

was going to suggest look into those horse drawn carriages. those look so damn fun. i hate them because i get caught behind them.

 

As a 17yr old, I once made "my move" walking on a golf course at night. I knew exactly where the fairway suddenly dropped down and walked her right at that spot. We slid on our butts to the bottom of the "hill." And now we're on the ground, as I'm still holder her to "break her fall" that I had planned. She was so grateful.

Piece of cake after that

HA!

But the other option is downtown bars. There are a lot of lesser known cozy bars downtown where you get a nice feel and can carry a conversation

 

forget the mugging.
wear fabric that let's you breathe. Infact, ditch the cotton and go with linen, pants or shirt but not both. It's crucial since the humidity factor will be at 70%. Also, a BOUNCE sheet in your pocket to keep the killer mosquitoes away.
