The Scene – The area took shape in 1937 with the construction of Rice Food Market. Situated next to Rice University and the Texas Medical Center in one of Houston's most affluent neighborhoods, the district attracts an intriguing mix of West U yuppies, college students and Montrose bohos. – – The Goods – More than 450 retailers reside in this longstanding, but repeatedly refreshed shopping center. In the Village, you can buy clothes, get a manicure, shop for furniture, browse for books, dine delightfully and even catch a play. Shops range from national favorites…

Great place to shop, eat, and hang out! All dining is good here EXCEPT Brian O'Niels Irish Pub. They have the WORST service and sub par food. There are many types of resteraunts in this area to satiate the pickiest eaters. You can meet all your shopping needs in one stop here! Great night life in this area after dark too!
- Pros: Great range of shopping and eating
- Cons: Parking can be hard to find

The Best of the Best

This is one of the greatest places to shop. The village is more convenient and not as crowded as the Galleria.
