You can enjoy your small glance of Hell.
i would say goto the Galleria area / Westheimer, but idk what you would do...
I really quite hate it here
Dinner at Kim Son downtown or anywhere else in Vinatown, Kim Son is the bomb though.
Try the spring rolls.
Gyros at Niko Nikko's on Montrose near Westheimer can't be beat if they are still there, or Franks Hot Dogs, also lots of used record stores and what not in the area around there.
Seafood go to Kemah on the other side of Clear Lake past Nasa either nice restaurants or fresh off the boat. Nasa tour is cool too if you are in that area.
There's a lot of oddities around to see. The Orange show is one, and theres a house COMPLETELY covered in aluminum pulltabs off Memorial somewhere, though the address escapes me, ask around.
Several of the taller buildings have sky lobbies too, one downtown and one in Galleria if they are still open.
Houston has nice strip joints. If I was going back there (lived there for a few years back in the 80"s) I'd go to one or two good ones. That is where I would stay for the entire time I was in Houston.
Kim Son is still there! it was the first VN restaurant I ate at in Houston and very good....love their iced VN coffee also...
Kemah is a good tip on fresh seafood also....I moved away in 84 and have live in Florida since then. I worked for Shell Oil there 11 years of my life in "Stinkadena" err Pasadena...
Don't miss the hydrocarbon pollution on HWY 225 though...
I guess you are callin' Vintown the VN area near the medical center there.....
Hey.....I resent that kiddo...
Beyonce says that she has been all over the world and no place has nicer people than Houston. She is from there BTW!
And it is TRUE and when I get back home now and then I realize what a bunch of assholes live here in Florida.
This ain't the south as the North has INVADED and captured Florida.
But get some boots and a big ol' belt buckle and a western hat and go line dancing and learn The Cotten Eyed Joe and various line dancing.
If you are gay the Montrose is your area of cruising and partying.
Do not make fun of the local accent cause the rednecks will whoop your ass! We don't mind yanks comin' down and havin' fun...but not at our expense. JUST BECAUSE WE TALK SLOW....don't mean we THINK SLOW! Many MENSA in Texas and many rich people.....and if you ever have a Texas girl.......you will NEVER GO BACK HOME!!!! Because us southern women KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF OUR MEN!
Enjoy Houston....but stay out of Pasadena...LOL!
Go to Pandoras Box club BYOB.. No wait I think thats Dallas.
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE BUD??
oh and I am a resident Texan, not a yankee. Born in Dallas just hadnt made it out here to h-town yet but been everywhere else in tx.
I want to score some shoreline or some great bud. I know I am not allowed to ask for places to buy bud so i wont ask, I am just asking.. uhh.. how is the bud around here? and where do people who smoke hang out?
I bought some of the little cup toppers and make my own iced coffees, that stuff is TOO good in the summer. Yeah, the area I called Vinatown is "midtown" Travis, Fannin, Milam near the Med. Every block had 3 restaurants and some were open till 3 or 4 in the morning for after the clubs.
You remember a mexican place over off San Jacinto behind the jail that had no sign and you had to knock to get in? Buddy of mine lived in the old Butte paint lofts (Toxic Flats) and we used to go there quite a bit. Last Concert Cafe? There was a Ninfa's over there too but that's not it.
I lived in the Old 6th Ward near Washington and Houston Ave. Only thing I REALLY miss about Houston is the restaurants.
There are just as many assholes as there are nice people. Been here my whole life and probably managed to meet more of the assholes.
The generation above mine are some of the last genuinely cool southerners. There are some in my generation, but the rest are douche bags.
Then again, most of the people i'm talking about were raised in Oil or they're just spoiled, inconsiderate little tools.
Mainly just depends on which area you live in.
Mostly though, I hate Houston for the weather. It's hot when it's not supposed to be, it's wet and cold when it should just be frickin cold. Hell, it's been warm or summer-like several times this winter.
And what is there to do here? Clubs, bars, food, shopping and titty bars.
Houston sucks.
It's so big because of the Port and Oil.
It's like...you can do a million things in NYC and LA, and each is known for unique things and unique experiences... What the hell is so unique about Houston?
Really the only things I can think of are the Space Center, Museums, Sports and Woodlands Pavilion...
Oh and Gun shows. Which I have always wanted to goto, but never remember to.
Around Pasadena there's a bad ass dirtbike/fourwheeler place...with a MX and supercross track also a kids MX track... Dunno if it's still there though.
Oh and Raouls Italian Grill in the Spring/Klein area is exceptional. You'll think i'm crazy when you see the parking lot and outside (it's in a strip joint) but it's amazing. Used to be around Champions&1960... Screw Carrabbas. Pappadeaux is always great also, but it's a chain restaurant.
