For People Attending the Houston Concert

Hi everyone! Figured I'd make a little list of some of our favorite places in Houston, including places to eat. I’ll try to add more later, but this is all I could think of. :)

Restaurants
Goode Company BBQ - http://goodecompany.com/our-restaurants/goode-company-bar-b-q/locations/8911-katy-frwy.html
8911 Katy Frwy
Houston, Texas 77024
713 464-3849

This is our favorite place ever! As you can tell from the name, it's a BBQ place, with the best meat (and potato salad!) we've ever found in Houston! I highly recomend going there, espically if you're not from the south. Inside there's many cowboy/Texas artifacts, such as a stuffed buffalo, old horse saddles, and longhorn heads.
Taste of Texas - http://tasteoftexas.com/restaurant.php
10505 Katy Freeway
Houston, TX 77024
713.932.6901 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting  


Best. Steak. Ever.
Need I say more?  Taste of Texas is amazing. A bit pricy, but defiently somewhere I’d recommend! Has a great Southern feel to it, from all the décor. end_of_the_skype_highlighting

Ninfas - (couldn't find an official site -- will look more later)
14737 Memorial DR
Houston, TX 77079
281 497-5100

This is just a chain Tex-Mex restaurant, but the food is actually really good!  It’s a great place to go if you need a quick dinner, because the service is almost always very fast!

Tourist Atractions
(I guess you’d call ‘em that!)

Well, to be honest, there's not much that's exciting to see in Houston... :P But we were able to come up with a small list!

First off, there's all the museums, all of which are very nice. We enjoy the Natural Science Museum, which currently has an exhibit on Texas! Also, the Health Museum currently has an exhibit on Star Wars, for any fans out there!

I guess the main attraction here is Space Center Houston, which is the tourist attraction for the NASA Space Center. I didn't know until recently, but apparantly when many people think of Houston they think of rockets and NASA! (mom thought I was pretty crazy for not knowing this!) The space center has many interactive exhibits and is very informational! My guess is that Libera will go here during some time off!

Our newly built City Centre has just about everything! Restaurants, shops, a gym, and even a movie theater! It’s a bit upscale, but a nice place to go for lunch and shopping, or just to kill some time!

There are more museumes and some nice parks to walk around in down town, including all the art museums and the Holocaust Museum. Links to those can be found either on the link above, or just by Googleing them. Hope this helps!
