The Urban Cowboy legend was born in Houston [1] in the early 1980s, and in some parts of town, it’s never left. Visitors can get a good feel for the true (and tired) honkytonks by sampling a few of the city’s many nightlife options. Houston has a healthy blues scene, and the bars and dance clubs are reminders of the city’s cosmopolitan culture.
Speaking of culture, the performing arts in Houston are truly befitting of the nation’s fourth-largest city, particularly its internationally renowned opera and ballet companies and spectacular symphony.
