National Historic Landmarks are buildings, sites, structures, objects, or districts that epitomize something important about U.S. history or culture. There are currently over 2,500 National Historic Landmarks, and they each have their own fascinating stories and, oftentimes, beautiful architecture or natural scenery. If you'd like to find a few near 3500 Westlake to visit, the National Historic Landmarks Program’s search tool is a great browsing feature.

This search menu on the National Historic Landmarks website allows you to search the program’s database of landmarks broadly by city or state. If you’re searching for a specific landmark, the website also offers an advanced search with features like name, priority, year, resource type, themes, and type. This makes it easy to find — for example — Historic Landmarks related to agriculture nearby.

Any time is tea-time at the Steeping Room. Located in a little shopping center on N. Lamar Boulevard, the Steeping Room is dedicated to not just serving tea, but the art of brewing and leisurely enjoying the drink. Come in and you will immediately like the cozy ambiance, with high ceilings that keep the noise low and lots of window seating. You might have had tea, but there are so many different teas to choose from, don’t be afraid to ask your server for suggestions. In the morning, try your tea with a freshly baked scone, or go for one of the breakfast entrees. The lunch and dinner menus are also good, with many vegan and gluten-free options — try the breakfast sandwich or the soup and tea sandwich combo.
