City Centre

City Centre is an up and coming high end outdoor shopping and dining area. It has a similar ambience of The Domain in Austin, but without the big name department stores. Some landmark stores in the area we took note of were Elaine Turner, Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters, Free People, Paper Source and Lululemon. There are also plenty of restaurants that cater to both families and upscale dining. Cyclone Anaya's Yardhouse, RA Sushi, Ruggle's Green are just a few. We went on a Sunday afternoon and were able to luckily find metered parking, but there were tons of people walking around shopping and eating.

We walked into a moderately priced boutique in front of our parking spot called LMD Boutique. There are 4 locations in Houston. The staff was helpful, and Kati even found a potential bridesmaid necklace for her wedding in June. The store has been open for 2 years, and there are several retail spaces near by. This tells us that City Centre is growing and has a need for other stores! Kati went to a wedding shower for a friend this weekend. She spoke with a mother of a friend who lives near City Centre. She talked about a major need for shopping in the area other than the normal stores. That set off a lightbulb that made us visit the spot in the first place.
