Pros: Everything is available Cons: Uncomfortable climate and hectic
If you're going to Houston, you'd better have a GREAT reason. You say you're meeting a long lost friend. Nope, not good enough reason. The friend could meet you outside the city limits, or better yet outside the county.
Pros: A city that has much to offer. During February/March, see the Rodeo and Livestock Show. Cons: Beyond downtown Houston, a car is needed to travel throughout the city.
Welcome to Houston! It is nearly impossible to cover everything there is to do, see and experience in Houston in one short review. However, I will attempt to list a number of qualities and attractions that make Houston an exciting city to visit and/or ...
Pros: Creative Central American cuisine at unbeatable prices Cons: Out-of-the-way location
Review Topic: Restaurants
Amazon Grill isn't your traditional restaurant. The food isn't typical, the location isn't typical, and the prices are low enough to make even the stingiest Scrooge smile. The restaurant starts with...
Pros: Freshest seafood outside the ocean! Cons: None
I don't know how this place stayed under my radar screen for so long! It's only a bit over a mile from my office, and about the same distance from home. It's on a major road and I've driven past it a million times. Yet for some reason, it wasn't until...
Pros: Boudin, etouffee, and the ugliest steel crawdad you ever saw! Cons: Closed Sunday
Ragin' Cajun is located at 4302 Richmond Avenue -- about two miles from the Galleria area as the crow flies, and about smack dab in the middle of a swamp as the tastebuds swear! If you're driving down Richmond, you can't miss it...it's the nondescript...
Pros: Tex-Mex like Mama Makes! Cons: Lunch only, gets crowded
Some people might tell you that Houston is tops for steak houses, and I might nod my head in agreement. Others might tell you that it's barbecue that really stands out as king of the local dining scene, and I might nod my head about that...
Pros: A tranquil oasis in the center of urban insanity Cons: The historical buildings aren't very historical
Seeming oddly out of place next to towering steel and glass skyscrapers in the heart of downtown Houston is a small slice of tranquility in the form of Sam Houston Park -- a tiny urban park and historic museum -- so tiny that it's probably 15 acres,...
Pros: variety of things to do, cultural diversity, inexpensive Cons: usual city nits: traffic, pollution, safety...
Houston may be the fourth largest U.S. city in terms of population, but it never seems to rank too highly as a tourist destination. Truth is, Houston is more of a business city than a tourist city. It's home to headquarters, plants, and research...
Pros: Willie Nelson rounding up Texas longhorn cattle Cons: Parking
February in Houston means just one thing: It's Rodeo Time!
Every year at this time, Houston's AstroDome complex transforms itself from a sports and exhibition center into the world's most exciting ranch. Cowboys ride in to town from...
Pros: wonderful restaurants Cons: drunks on wheels
In the past couple years Houston's downtown area has been going through a major facelift. With the opening of the Bayou Place center, which was built where the old Coliseum and Music Hall were located (boy, I saw some great concerts there), the theater...
Our trip to our son’s new home in Sugar Land, Texas and extension of Houston was a delightful excursion. For our first taste of Texas we were served the typical Thanksgiving Day meal, which was delicious. We enjoyed everything and thankful to be with...
In my ongoing quest to review the many fine cities of Texas, I decided to review the true star of the Lone Star State, Houston, TX. The city of Houston is a bustling metropolis home to over four million people in the southern part of...
Pros: Unusual Food, Great atmosphere, Excellent service, Reasonably priced Cons: Too far from my home
Zagot’s review described Enzo’s as a very ordinary Italian restaurant. If the food and service we’ve consistently experienced at Enzo’s for five years in a row are ordinary, I want a list of the other ordinary restaurants within 60 miles of my home....
Pros: the music, the DJs, Whip Cons: Whip (he'll like this)
The Buzz is undoubtedly the best alternative music station on the planet. Sure, it isn't like I've actually researched this, but unless you can prove me wrong, trust me. Don't wait till you're in Houston to experience The Buzz, through...
Houston Texans Key Chain - Logo Clasp Keychain A Houston Texans keychain is a great way to show your team loyalty any where you go. You can keep track of your keys at all times with an Houston Texa...
