Thanks to NASA's Johnson Space Center, Houston has a pretty stellar reputation. But don't get too starry-eyed just yet. This isn't all about rockets and moon landings.

You'll find people from all walks of life, cultures, and backgrounds, making it one of the most diverse cities in the country. And let's talk food! Tex-Mex, Cajun, Vietnamese, Caribbean, you name it, Houston has it. Your taste buds will be on a never-ending vacation.
