Katy, Texas

Named for the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad, which was commonly referred to as the K-T, Katy has a population of 12,000 people and is located outside Houston.Also playing into the name is Cane Creek, which runs through Katy and was the original name of the town. It was famous for sugar cane in the 19th Century and today has an annual festival in honor of the crop. When you start searching for your Katy apartment, you should realize that the area is a very car dependent one with park and ride facilities substituting for mass transit.

Friday Night Lights

Katy is only 10 square miles which is small by Texas measurements, but within the city limits you'll find plenty of outdoor recreational venues. Everyone follows the local high school football team so save those Friday nights for that. Forbidden Gardens is a beautiful outdoor museum which replicates some of China's major historic scenes and it is well worth a visit. And, with all the world class venues in Houston, you'll find things to do no matter what your tastes might be.

Delaware Punch

Once in your Katy apartment, there are more than few restaurants you'll want to check out. The Original Marini's Empanada House is a local favorite. It's quaint, fun and the food is wonderful. The Fish City Grill is also a favorite and you'll find some interesting seasonings on the shrimp along with good cold beer. Try El Rancho for Mexican food and don't pass up James Coney Island because you won't find Delaware punch many places anymore and it's great with a hot dog or a burger! For diners, Texas Tradition is so good that people will drive miles to have breakfast there, and you're right in town!

Are You an Einstein?

At night, many restaurants have good bars for hanging out, but the Alamo Draft House is beloved by many locals. It's a chain but you'd never know it. The Wine Next Door is a nice little wine bar. Mo's Place is a sports bar, pool hall and usually has live music.There's a cover but you won't mind because the drinks are so cheap. Einstein's pub is a real local bar so have a look in there and maybe make some new friends. You're going to enjoy your Katy apartment. The people in town are friendly and the lifestyle is great.
