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: 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: 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: 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...
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: 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...
Pros: no wait staff, quality food, no wait Cons: can get expensive, most a-la-cart

I have enjoyed writing my own reviews for restaurants around
Houston and this is my 3rd part of my review series. There are
so many terrific places to...
Pros: People think it sucks here. Cons: People might hear it's really kinda nice here.
Look at the review above mine. Look at the review below mine. They are reviewing my hometown, and chances are, they are both tearing it to shreds. You see, I live in Houston, TX, the most reviled of the ten largest cities in the United States. The New ...
Pros: Food, culture, business, people Cons: Traffic, weather, pollution
Preface: I started this as one document, then broke it into two reviews, a general essay about Houston, and a list of tourist destinations, when I realized how long it was going to be. But then I found I'm not allowed to post more than one ...
