I don't know this area very well at all, but Terry Hershey Park is a gem, that's for certain. I had no idea there was so much in between! Brava!

Thanks for this great article. I love finding out about all the little hidden places I didn't know about. The bird sanctuary is definitely on my list now.

Excellent article!! I just love Bistro Provence and it's quaintness...the food is fabulous, too. And Leibman's has been a mainstay for Christmas presents for years (before their other location burned several years ago). I love driving visitors down Memorial Drive and dispelling their preconceived notions of how "ugly" Houston is. This is truly one of the most beautiful drives in the country.

If you're heading out to Le Mistral tonight, then you're actually going to be quite a bit further out of town than if you went to Bistro Provence. The Bistro is closer in, at Memorial just past Wilcrest. Le Mistral = OMFG. I love that place soooooo much. There just aren't words for how much I love it. I think you'll love it, too!

Great article! If we ever venture out that far, we'll definitely check out Bistro Provence since we're suckers for French food (heading to Le Mistral tonight based on the write up from the Fearless Critic).
