Daytime Gayborhood Guide

Montrose by Day

Montrose is Houston's walkable queer cultural corridor between the Museum District, the Heights, and Third Ward. Turkey Leg Hut around the corner, the Montrose coffee row (Equal Scene, Coffee Groundz, Morningstar) anchoring the morning, Brazos Bookstore's decade-plus indie anchor, and the city's small-format queer-owned gift and design shops. The daytime walks of Montrose tie Houston's neighborhoods together.
