A melting pot, within the melting pot, Houston is now hailed as the most racially and ethnically diverse major metropolis in the country, passing New York, New Jersey, and Los Angelos. WalletHub, who ran the report, compared 501 of the most populated cities in America against each other in a multi faceted ranking system: Religious diversity, household diversity, economic diversity, socioeconomic diversity and cultural diversity. WalletHub gets into the nitty gritty detailed metrics like language, working class, education, income, age, and industry diversity. Houston toppled the competition, and scored best in Industry diversity, and racial and ethnic diversity.
This is a great thing and propels the best parts of Houston overall vibe as a city—in art, fashion, food, and culture. Houston has a menu diverse as the city itself, driven by people truly living the authentic American Dream. Hungry for Polish? Try the golonka at Poliana. Craving Dim Sum? Try Fungs Kitchen or Golden Dim Sum, where the dumplings are to die for. Pho Saigon Noodle House, and Les Ba’get Vietnamese café, which provides some of 
the best Vietnamese in the country, and reflects Vietnams interesting history. You can try Indian at Biryani Pot, Ethiopian at the Blue Nile, Pakistani at DDK Kabab & Grill, and amazing middle eastern at Aladdin’s Mediterranean café. Nigerian, Argentine, Venezuelan, you name it, Houston has it and the people that run those places do it famously well.
Stephen L. Klineberg, a sociologist that has closely followed Harris County, states that “Houston is 25 years ahead of the rest of the country”. We defy everything the south can be regarded as, and this is to be celebrated, and precisely reflects Texas as one of the greatest places on Earth.
