I enjoying driving on Memorial Drive into downtown on a Sunny day. It just makes me feel good and relaxed while driving head-on into the city. What is your favorite drive in the central part of Houston?

In the spring (both weeks! I enjoy the same drive you mentioned.

But, my favorite drive in the city is actually short: up and down South Main, from the Medical Center to Downtown. I love the avenue of old oaks, Rice U on one side, the park on the other, the beautiful old churches, the Mecom Fountain, the ZaZa (it's still the Warwick to me), the museums, and even Midtown (still admittedly a work in progress).

South Main from about Braeswood south of the Med Center to Elgin or thereabouts in Midtown. Memorial Drive is the best drive into downtown, and it's nice all the way out toward the Galleria. Heights Boulevard. Those would have to be my top three.

Bellaire all the way from Eldridge to 59. I've found more good restaurants than you can shake a chopstick at.

Memorial Drive, definitely.

FM 359 in Richmond.

There's a few others, but they're mostly up north of Houston.

I enjoy running up lazy lane and looping back round to the other gauche displays of how wealth is often unaccompanied by good taste.

Some hot looking women with big plastic chests round there as well- see my original point.

Harrisburg, near downtown.

I like the way things are set up and the way the buildings are old. It is one of the few places in Houston where you see a decent amount of pedestrians and people just hanging out outdoors.

I also really like Bellaire blvd (from Fondren on west for a bit) because of the vast wealth of great and cheap restaurants.
