    Discovery Green

    1500 McKinney St. Downtown/ Midtown

    713-400-7336

    , , , , , , ,
    A vast prairie of little-used parking lots downtown was replaced by Discovery Green, a dozen or so acres of green space, bocce courts, lakes, water parks, performance spaces and restaurants. Sure, the name of the place is meh and they got a little sponsor-happy, but when you take in a concert or visit a farmers market at Discovery Green, you really feel like Houston is giving Chicago a run for its money as America's third city.

    Sam Houston Race Park

    7575 N. Sam Houston Parkway W. Jersey Village

    281-807-8700

    , , , ,
    Even if all you know of horse racing is what you saw in Seabiscuit, you can still have a grand time betting on the ponies at Sam Houston Race Park. Admission is cheap, parking is easy, and the food and drink are affordable. They offer live Thoroughbred racing from January through early March and and live Quarter Horse racing from late March through early May with simulcast racing 364 days of the year, and from time to time they even have ostriches and camels, too, if you're looking for something a bit more exotic. Place your bets and root for your new favorite four-legged creature. You don't even have to wear a floppy hat.

    Slick Willie's Family Pool Hall

    1200 Westheimer River Oaks

    713-522-2525

    , , ,
    Few pool halls match up to Slick Willie's. Houston has about a dozen locations, but our favorite is no doubt the one in the heart of Montrose, where there are more than 20 big, solid and clean tables. If you're just an every-now-and-again player used to shooting on that wobbly little thing at your favorite dive bar, the game at Slick Willie's will take some adjustment. If you've got money on the line and want to quiet your nerves you can avail yourself of the full bar. And if billiards makes you hungry, there's a menu of reliable bar favorites like pizza and chicken tenders.

    West End Bicycles

    5427 Blossom St. Heights

    713-861-2271

    , , ,
    With its unassuming gray facade and trademark, “Frank the Cat” mascot illustration, West End Bicycles communicates pretty quickly that it’s not some fancy-schmancy fixie shop, but rather a casual, reliable purveyor of bikes, bike accessories, and, more recently, running strollers, to the Heights and greater Houston community. If you’re not looking to make a full investment in a bike or you already have elsewhere, that’s cool, too; West End Bicycles also offers daily, weekly, and monthly bike rentals as well as a full range of repair and maintenance services.

    Texans love to blow up stuff, and we take serious pride in doing it. Naturally, then, it's important to us to have the best facilities. And when Houstonians feel the need to start shooting outdoors, there's no better place to do it than American Shooting Centers, located in George Bush Park. This 563-acre adult playground of a gun range is like Pebble Beach for NRA members and other gun lovers. You can buy a brand-new piece in their pro shop, take lessons on how to use it and, when you're done, take courses to get your concealed handgun license. That way, you can carry your gun like a good red-blooded Texan.

    Whether you're shooting your old family-heirloom deer rifle or just squeezing off some rounds with your new .380, Bailey's House of Guns will make any gun enthusiast feel at home. Located south just off Almeda Road, Bailey's is a family-run institution. The range shop is filled with massive stuffed beasts and loaded to the gills with any accessory you may ever need, be it ammo, carrying cases or other tactical gear. Saturdays and Sundays bring parents learning the basics of marksmanship, with children and older kids showing off their shiny new lethal toys. Just be sure to listen and be cool with the range instructors, seeing that they have your life in their hands.

    ,
    Around the city and especially the suburbs, there are tons of sports bars, strip clubs and Hooters locations that seem to promote every big UFC fight. But that's likely to be a miserable experience if it's the fighting you're really interested in. So to see some real fighting, and maybe even some real blood, head over to Bam Bam Martial Arts near West University. Fighters are constantly in the gym, and while you won't see Chuck Liddell or Matt Hughes, you will see guys beating the hell out of each other. And if you decide you want to get into on the action, Bam Bam's bread and butter is teaching martial arts classes for men and women of all skill levels. Head instructor Scott "Bam Bam" Sullivan has over 25 years experience and a couple heavyweight titles under his belt, so you'll be in good hands.

    Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World

    5000 Katy Mills Circle, Ste. 415, Katy Outside Houston

    281-644-2200

    , , ,
    This sprawling complex in Katy is a sort of Mecca for outdoorsmen. If Armageddon ever comes, Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World is the only place you'll need. It's your basic one-stop survival shop, selling a variety of guns and hunting supplies and probably everything a man who loves fishing ever needs, and then some. After you've bought your new tackle, you can browse the ridiculously large selection of boats. Say you're looking to learn how to fly-fish; you can come here and take part in regular workshops. So when Christmas comes around, spare Dad the crappy sweater and just buy him a gift card.
