Rice Village
 
 
 
 

Rice Village is an eclectic collections of shops, restaurants and pubs, situated 2 blocks west of Rice University's campus. The core Rice Village is 12 square blocks, bounded by University Boulevard, Kirby, Rice, and Morningside, though spillover has created a shopping district several blocks larger.

The buildings in the core district date back to the1930s.

Traditionally shops in the Village closed at an unfashionably early time of 6 pm, though more recently (~2002) the night life has picked up considerably with pubs located along Morningside and Dunstan drives.
