"A standout among the city’s rooftop bars, Z on 23 atop the Le Meridien Hotel offers unparalleled views of Downtown Houston. Be warned, here your photo-clicking finger may tire — the L-shaped bar — 23 floors high off the ground — boasts not a single bad seat in the house. Grab a cocktail (or many), a charcuterie board, and enjoy the view. And if you’re hungry for a heartier meal, visit Zutro, the full-service restaurant on ground level." - Brittany Britto Garley
