Which city is the most "city" in texas? (Houston: home, neighborhood)

[Menashe]

Hello, We are fresh married couple that looking forward move to TX from Tel Aviv which considered
the most liberal city in the Middle East, everything is open 24 \ 7 and there is always what to do in here especially when you living in the city center (and we are...).
We look for the most rush city that tx got to offer, a city that never goes sleep and just trying to copy our awesome life to TX, is it possible?
By far we found that Dallas is the best option, it is? or should we look for on another places like SA, Austin, Houston?
Regards, Madisson and Menash.

There isn't as much of a 24/7 culture and built urban environment in Texas as there is in other parts of the U.S. like NYC and San Francisco, though that's quickly changing. More and more Americans are moving to urban cores desiring walkable lifestyles.

Austin is arguably the most liberal city in Texas. It has a predominant free, youthful, and open-minded culture similar to the one in Tel Aviv. It has an excellent live music scene and there are countless festivals/events throughout the year. There is a great creative culture in the city. I think it would make a good fit for you.

In Dallas, Uptown comes to mind as a place that has that 'big city' feel. Midtown in Houston has similar vibes and Montrose is a fun, artsy neighborhood to check out.

Can you please elaborate on what method you used to come to this conclusion ? How did you come to the finding that Dallas is "by far" the best option?

Either Houston or Dallas, but which is pretty much a toss-up, to me.

It's Houston... by far.

Probably the city that will give you the closest life to a 24/7 would be Austin. Specifically downtown Austin, along 6th Street. Outside of that, most stores in Texas will be closed by 9 p.m., except groceries which may (or not) be open all night. Any/all bars will be closed at 2 a.m. - liquor law requirements. Any body on the streets after that - any where in Texas - will be observed as 'out late', and monitored for drunk driving. Unless you're just riding the bus home from work.

You won't find the life of Tel Aviv or NYC in Texas. You can find a culture suitable to your lifestyle in Dallas, Houston, and/or Austin. It may take a day or two. But no crazy all night international scene. Well, except maybe on the border but you do NOT want to go there.

That's not exactly true. Sure the most urban areas will be like 6th street in Austin, downtown areas in Dallas, some place in Houston, but clubs can stay open until 4:00am (booze cuts off at 2:00am) and plenty of decent restaurants (not just crappy diners or crappy chains like IHOP & Dennys) in a downtown area will be open all night.

No contest, Houston by a mile.

For a city as a whole, Houston.

For a neighborhood that feels most urban, Uptown Dallas.

I would tend to agree with this assessment based on my own personal experience. The "liberal" you are seeking, though, can really only be found in Austin.
