Houston is a heavyweight even in Texas terms: It's the Lone Star State's most populous and diverse city. The urban sprawl contains a compact downtown area, which is the cultural hub of the city with vibrant museums and nightlife, as well as a rich food culture. Houston contains an abundance of green space and a collection of the most ethnically diverse restaurants in the United States.
