Happy Hour

An aerial photo of Hughes Landing. Lake Woodlands wraps around the bottom, righthand side, and toward the horizon of the frame. On the land in the center is Restaurant Row, featuring a building with no visible name, Fogo de Chao, and Del Frisco's Grille. Along the dock is the Hughes Landing Band Shell, and behind the restaurants is a large apartment building. On the opposite shore (back right of the frame) are lots of trees and two large office buildings. A large fountain is visible in the lake in the back-middle part of the frame.

Restaurant Row

This is a place that stays with you. WE HEAR THAT A LOT.
