Hi Houston, Pamela again, checking in after mentally preparing for a pool day that is simply not happening. I don’t know who approved this cold weather during Spring Break, but I have notes. So if you’re also pivoting your plans and figuring out what to do instead, you’re in the right place.

I’ve got a handful of things around the city worth keeping on your radar this week. Also, we’re kicking off a new weekly segment soon featuring Houston locals sharing their favorite spots, so get ready for some insider recs on where to eat, shop, and just genuinely enjoy all Houston has to offer.

Before we get into it, this is your last chance to win tickets to Rainbow Kitten Surprise this Sunday. Don’t sleep on this one!

FREE MUSEUM DAYS IN HOUSTON

Who doesn’t love a free moment in Houston? If you’re trying to keep things low-cost but still a little cultured, the city has you covered. From museums to galleries, there are plenty of spots offering free admission on select days. It’s the perfect excuse to romanticize your afternoon, wander through art, and pretend you’re way more put together than you actually are - all without spending a dollar.

IN THE FUTURE

LOCALS ONLY

• I know all of you doom scrollers have seen the Houston Rodeo TikToks by now - and yes, the outfits have definitely been… a moment. Apparently there’s even talk of a dress code after the sheer amount of “creativity” this year.

• Something you might not know about me - I’m a huge animal lover and I love working with Houston Humane Society. Did you know they have a Doggy Day Out program you can sign up for? You basically get to take a shelter dog out for the day, give them a little adventure, and honestly… it’s as cute as it sounds.
