+1 i'd like to know this too. I will be down in Houston on November 28th (end of nov as well) cousins wedding.

I do not know if you have a spouse going. Either way this place is unreal.

Yes, it is $10 for a slice of cake, but damn well worth it!

ZaZa here has, or at least used to have, some heart stoping talent wandering around.

I would think the same is true for Houstons.

I live less than a mile from hotel zaza, there are always Porsches, AMG Mercedes, even Bentleys parked out front of that place.

zaza is nice but pricey. didn't know houston had one

Hilton of the Americas is pretty nice...right beside Toyota Center, Minute Maid Park and George R Brown Convention Center

For some good food check out Pappadeauxs Cajun Seafood

[gonzo]

^ Good.

I would tell him/her to go to Brennan's for Cajun/creole but it is still being rebuilt...Katrina/fire.


You mention "safe" downtown areas. Downtown Houston buzzes at night just like the day time hours. People everywhere. At least on the more northern end. It's a huge downtown, if you will.

Tons of cool bars and such right in downtown. It's been a few years but I think Smith street is loaded.

Houston sucks ass. but if you have to come here please dont heed the previously posted restaurant recommendations. do like this:

Mark's - steak house
Catalan - food and wine bar
Glass Wall - $$$$
Reef - seafood
tacos a go go - late night drunk
little big's - late night drunker
the breakfast klub - breakfast

Everyone has their choices YO...Just trying to give the guy some ideas as to where to go. Houston is an awesome city....yea its humid most of the time but I wouldn't move to any other city....At the least outside of TX

[darkphantom]

aww, coming to see the 4th largest city in the states?

What they said but if you're staying in sugarland, they have the marriott in town square

Houston sucks ass. I used to live there. Traffic is horrible, crime rate is high, weather is obnoxious. I'd much rather live in Austin.

i was born and raised in Houston. but i have lived many other places, including austin. once you know what life is like outside of houston you dont want to come back. and my biggest complaint is the people. i dont like the South in general, even though TX is its own thing. Houston does have much to offer, it just doesnt suit me.

[darkphantom]

lol, good thing I live in sugarland :P

I agree with the traffic though, too many morons out their thinking they're the sh!t.

My 11 minute route this morning took 53minutes!

[TexAg06]

Laredo Taqueria on Washington for breakfast if you want the experience.

[Makushr1]

the hilton by the toyota center is nice, as well as hotel derek (i believe thats the name), its right by the galleria.

Churrascos is one of my fav resturants in houston.

[Makushr1]

Oh, also, if you're looking for some nightlife, go to one of these 3 areas:

Midtown: west gray and brazos area. all the bars are within walking distance.

Rice village: take kirby south and turn left on university blvd, cant miss it.

There are a few other places around houston with some good bars, but if you just want to park it and hit up a few diff bars that night, those 2 places are where to go. personally, i like rice village better, but thats just because i lived in midtown for a year and probably went to the bars 3-4 times a week, so after a year of that it gets kinda old, lol.

If it only takes you 11 minutes without traffic....time to find a side route or leave at a different time.
