In our Where to Shop series, we search Greater Houston’s vast array of neighborhoods and communities for the best boutiques, retail shops, clothing stores and more.
Shopping in the Uptown neighborhood doesn’t have to mean braving the crowds of the Galleria.
In fact, the area is ripe with plenty of outstanding boutiques and shops that don’t require parking garages, escalator rides, and lengthy treks from one side of the mall to the other.
