Katie & Derek
Things To Do
Flora - Restaurant
Lunch on proposal day!
Better Luck Tomorrow
A regular spot for D+K and Katie + Bridesmaid Jessie for half-off cocktails before 5PM and tasty Pasta Tuesday, brunch, and bites anytime (lunch, dinner, late night).
Rudyard's
Derek's favorite place for a beverage and where Katie first perfected Rich Girl on karaoke night. With roots as a British pub, but with a slight eclectic edge, it still maintains its place as the living room of Montrose. Fun fact: Groomsman Keith's first Houston home was wonderfully within walking distance of its doors.
Buffalo Bayou Park
Walks from our place along the beautiful bayou.
Houston Arboretum & Nature Center
Beautiful for walks under the trees.
Memorial Park
Beautiful for a walk or run or picnic. Check out the Eastern Glades.
Highland Village
Fancy shopping!
Waugh Drive Bat Colony
See the bats come out at dusk, within walking distance of our house on Buffalo Bayou. Hattie loves all the bat smells.
Common Bond Bistro & Bakery - Montrose
Delicious bakery / lunch spot and original maker of the panettone treats that Derek discovered and loves.
Cafe Brasil
Nice coffee shop, serves beer and wine also. Within walking distance to fun thrift shopping and the more bohemian side of Westheimer.
Bludorn
French / American high-end special dining option. The patio and bar areas are lovely too.
Kata Robata
Best Japanese Restaurant in the city for high-end dining and fave from Derek's 39th Birthday Celebration. A good pick if you're staying an extra night.
James Turrell's "Twilight Epiphany" Skyspace
James Turrell's Skyspace at Rice University
River Oaks Garden Club Forum
The wedding venue for reference on the map.
