A mall with enterainment for all
by mafootje about Houston Galeria
This mall located in the center of houston was very special to us. Not only the beautifull glass attriums which give the sun a chance to fill the mall with natural light which in some malls have to be searched for.
It also has a large cinema, some nice restaurants and a skate rink.
We spend some hours here to windowshop and see a movie. It isn't one of the cheaper malls but if you look good you should find what you need for a reasonable price

Meat the Brazilian way !
by ben&jerry about Fogo de Chao
I love this place...
I love the concept:
A buffet with vegetables and others where you can help yourself as much as you want and different types of meat presented on spits (a waiter equals a spit and a spit equals one type of meat). You have 1 piece of cardboard, one side is red the other is green. If you want more meat you have to show the green side, if you are full put the red side on.
And as long as your cardboard is green , the different waiters come to tempt with delicious meat.
A place to go!
A Sack Lunch!!!
by monicarc about Brown Bag Deli
This is a great sandwich place, where you literally check your order off a brown bag!! The food is superb, plus its well priced!!! I think all their bread's are homemade! Tuna sandwiches and potato salad!!!
Houston's Memorial Park
by jjp76
Memorial Park is just about 5 miles west of Houston's downtown. It's the state's largest urban park, a forest oasis in a busy urban area.
This is a heavily wooded park situated along Buffalo Bayou. There are nice walking trails and this may be the only part of Houston that actually has some small hills and elevation changes. Nearby Bayou Bend park is a must see too.
The park is very popular with joggers and a good area to see some tall pines. There is also a golf course.
There is easy access to shopping and great restaurants in the neighboring Galleria area.
For some great views of the park's edges and downtown Houston, take the drive on Memorial Drive from loop 610 in the Galleria area all the way to downtown Houston. You'll be dropped off right in Houston's Theatre District.
