Yeah the food is pretty bad in Houston. People from Texas don’t see it cuz it’s all they know, and the idea is Houston is so big you can always find somewhere good. But the thing is you really have to work to find the good spots or it’s going to taste bad, or even make you sick.

That said, your point about figuring out WHERE to live is key. There are so many options in Houston. After 2 years in Houston, I’m ready to live on the outskirts for (hopefully) a better experience.

Houston can be a culture shock. Texas in a whole. It's different in every region of the state. San Antonio is nice and the hospitality is on point. Houston can be hostile depending on where you are SE and SW side. Most ppl are dry as hell or nice as hell. It's a lot to do if you are in the mix. Black people tend to deal with family and cliques for the most part. Trail riding, bike clubs, zydeco events and car clubs are big. I respect your opinion and it ain't for everybody.
@manb4warАй бұрын
You people don't seem to realize that Houston is the FOURTH largest city in the United States. New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, HOUSTON. If you're from a small city, there typically is usually ONE culture of people, so there is usually a centralized place where black people kick it and socialize. Houston is too big for that and there are literally dozens of subcultures here. The people that are into trail rides and zydeco are mostly Louisiana transplants, they have their own music, food, dance, style of dress and even language. It's hard to fall into that culture because it goes back centuries, it's big fun to watch but unless you're a charismatic person, you won't feel embraced even though they are some of the nicest and friendliest people. Then there are the true Houstonians who keep to the Wards, South and Northsides of Houston, these people tend to be more blue collar type townsy type black people. They tend to keep to themselves, they don't really travel far outside of their neighborhoods. They like simple living and prefer hole in the wall type places. Those people are oftentimes misunderstood as stand offish but in reality they are just simple people that don't want to be judged for liking the BYOB type spots. Ask a coworker or something, they tell you where all the spots are. There is a bougie crowd but you'll rarely see those people, they have their places, wine bars, etc;. Your best bet for socializing and meeting people is church, the radio stations and the internet. Listen to 90.9, 102.1, 97.9 and 93.7 those are the stations that will tell you about ALL the events happening in the city. The first two are usually for the more mature, the last two are the young hip hop crowd events. Next is the cheat code, GOOGLE MAPS, if you search on Google Maps "black owned restaruants" it will literally show you a list of all restaurants with a tag that says, "Identifies as black owned". Create a list in Google Maps are add them to the "Want To Visit" list and start visiting. That way you can read reviews, see photos and see if it's in your budget range. You won't like them all but in the process you will find spots that you'll frequent and come back to, others you may never want to go back...That's the charm of Houston, with so many options, you can literally build your own little oasis. You will meet a lot of people, people in Houston like to eat and a lot of restaurants turn into mini clubs at night. If you're here or coming soon, I recommend KISS restaurant and Phil and Dereks both are excellent places to go vibe out and tap into the scene and talk to people about places to go, both have live music on some nights and a diverse crowd of people. The fun won't come to you like it does in smaller cities, you have to look for it, I gaurantee you it's here.

I would say houston was fun up until i graduated high school but as you get older it becomes extremely boring because the only things to do are meet up at clubs and bars lol. Theres literally nothing else that people do they stay inside or go to the bar. If the bar or club scene is not for them they stay inside their home watching tv.

The restaurants I tried was delicious 😋 I live for crawfish season 😂😂 I guess it’s who you know. I met a lot of really good people. The house that I purchased would be 1.5 million or more in South Florida. The school district that my kids attended Katy ISD was one of the best. Houston is a more laid back city for families. I do understand how you felt missing the beaches and sunny weather. The traffic is horrible in Houston even with an Ez Tag.

I feel like if you don’t live near a beach or lake you will get bored easily in any major city. What else is there really to do besides shop, eat, go to lounges, and bars? You will get the same results. I live in Arizona it is nice for people who enjoy outdoors “hiking, golfing, offriding, atv wheeling, horseback riding, going to the lake for paddle boarding which is 1-2 hours out. The only thing about Arizona I don’t like is it is extremely too hot to do a majority of those outdoor activities after 10 am, so you are left to do what everyone else is complaining about drinking, going to bars etc. Building hobbies, going to networking and social events is the best way to improve your quality of life no matter where you live. I would move to Houston and fort lauderale has always been my dream place.

Not only that, but Houston is like a big country city. I couldn't imagine it has changed that much in 7 years. We always found stuff to do. The only people making videos like this seem to be women. One thing I noticed about women is stability and consistency make them bored. It's like my mom changing and rearrange the furniture in the house every 3-4 months 😂. But women now adays soon as a man brings consistency and stability she gets bored and sabotages the relationship and looks for someone else. They move somewhere, they get bored and want to move somewhere else. Women now adays don't simply know what stability is. That's why they fail at their jobs and relationships.

Last thing. Austin and Dallas are good places if you're white, but i wouldn't recommend a Black person move there. San Antonio is good if you're Mexican, but it's boring as all get up. Beaches are definitely better in Ft. Lauderdale as is the weather. Food though? Nah and I say that as a person who essentially lived in Florida for summers during my childhood. Same for night life as well. We do drive crazy as hell too lol. I think you may have just been home sick, which is completely understandable.

You're right about the food. I'm from NYC and the Caribbean food here is nasty and I live in Katy. Since I have a business in NYC and here. We have purchased land for truck parking and will probably be setting up a food truck

😂 born and raised. Pretty much agree. Houston is boring. I’m not from here. The foreigners do drive bad they run stop signs. The food is pretty good. If you know where to go. The humidity is horrible the winter is worse I always get the winter blues. Yes they stay in the house all day every day I even had to adjust to that. I’m moving back to the country. It’s always something going on in the country. It’s much safer. Enjoy your life girl.

Okay I am super late but, I wanted to tell you, I was born and raised in San Antonio (28Years & counting). Based off of everything you said, You might not like San Antonio. The culture may not be for you (I can elaborate if you want) as well as the food, The food scene here is TERRIBLE!!! and the crazy thing is I moved out for a year to live in Dallas and then came back to S.A. and realized how bad it was because there was so much good food in all of DFW and I got spoiled, so much that when I came back to San Antonio and didn't have those same options, I was so hurt. It definitely gets hotter here than in Florida. And the extreme heat (100+) can also be humid and dry depending certain factor day by day. The weather isn't as gloomy as Houston though. But it can still be uncomfortable for about 6 months. We are not on a beach but S.A. is the closest MAJOR city (4½ Hours) to the best beach in Texas which happen to be South Padre. If you're looking for South Florida quality water and sand, we don't have that but, South Padre is very beautiful for Texas and the pictures don't do it justice online, you actually have to visit. I could go further but that's just giving you an idea. I myself was thinking about either moving to back Dallas or giving Charlotte a try. I no longer have a car and I would have to attain one if I wanted to go to Charlotte where as in Dallas they have a good transportation system for people who live in inner city Dallas. Also anywhere where the light rail trains don't take you the buses will in a reasonable amount of time and, the thing that I liked about having a city with trains is they DON'T stop for traffic like buses so it makes getting places faster and smooth. But yeah, I could go on, I just wanted to give you an idea. If you're looking for Black culture and diversity at the same time then, San Antonio most definitely won't be for you nor will Dallas even though Dallas has a good amount of black people; way more then S.A., it won't be a Houston or an Atlanta AT ALL, especially San Antonio (S.A.) This city is built on Mexican culture. It's a predominantly Latino/Hispanic city, which there's nothing wrong with it but, it's not for everybody including myself who isn't of any Latin origin/background. I've been used to this all my life and I want different in a city with potentially less hotter weather too. But anyways live your life to the fullest, and if you or anybody who sees this comment has any questions about San Antonio, I can fill you in.
