Golf Golf Golf
by Mellonhead
Many great golf courses in Houston at good rates. During the summer the best prices have you teeing off around 1 to 3pm which is of course the hottest time of the day. One of my favorites is Wildcat Golf Club. They have 36 holes of great golf and the course is always in incredible shape. Green fees run 30 to 50 dollars for 18 with a cart but is worth it. They rent clubs if needed.

Nice spanish tapas in Rice Village
by XenoHumph about Mi Luna
Mi Luna is a fun tapas restaurant. For those who may not know, tapas are spanish appetizers, i.e. small portions of food, cold or warm, typical of what is served in bars in Spain. You can get various forms of calamari, fried goat cheese, eggplant with spices, lamb dishes,... This restaurant's tapas are excellent, the waiters are very nice, the service good, the atmosphere great. Accompany that with a glass of nice spanish wine.
Some evenings feature a flamenco entertainment after 8 pm.
