During your Houston vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

Contemporary Arts Museum
This silver-aluminum parallelogram, located on the corner of Montrose and Bissonnet cater-cornered to the Fine Arts Museum, presents temporary exhibitions of modern art and design. It has no permanent collection; what you might find here is purely the luck of the draw. When I go to the Fine Arts Museum, I always stick my head into the CAM to see what's going on because it's right across the street and it's free.

Hermann Park
This park has 545 acres of land and lies just beyond the Museum District, on the west side of South Main Street. The parkland is well wooded and has an 18-hole public golf course, picnic areas, and playscapes. Near the Houston Museum of Natural Science, which borders the park, is a Garden Center with beautiful rose gardens and a garden of aromatic herbs. Also in that vicinity is a Japanese garden and Miller Outdoor Theater, which often holds free plays and musical performances.

Kemah Boardwalk
Many visitors to Space Center Houston (see review below) will afterward go out for seafood at nearby Kemah, which is as touristy as the Houston area gets. It used to be a rustic shrimping port on Galveston Bay where you could buy some shrimp and a beer and sit by the dock on an afternoon to watch the shrimp boats come in. Most of the pier was washed away in 1984 by a hurricane, and in the 1990s it was bought by a developer who built the boardwalk, several restaurants, a hotel, and some touristy stores and attractions. The restaurants overlook the water; if you stroll down the boardwalk you'll pass every one. Pick the one that most appeals to you. Among the attractions is a 50,000-gallon, floor-to-ceiling aquarium housing more than 100 species of tropical fish in the Aquarium Restaurant.

Make your reservations for discount hotel rooms in the Houston area, including:

Grant Palm Court Inn
This is the best lodgings bargain in Houston: quiet, clean rooms with a number of little extras for a good low rate. This is one of those time-capsule places where nothing seems to change -- all rooms are furnished in '50s fashion. The higher rate is for rooms with two double beds that can accommodate up to four people at no extra charge. The rooms encircle well-tended grounds that hold a pool, a Jacuzzi, a wading pool, and a swing set. There is also a kennel for canine guests. The hotel is close to the Medical Center, Reliant Stadium, and AstroWorld. And the icing on the cake: Would you believe that Elvis actually once stayed here?

Red Carpet Inn Hobby Regency Motor Lodge
Nice and cheap and well located, this hotel offers lodging that captures a certain urban-cowboy, working-class feel. The rooms aren't much to look at -- midsize with '70s furniture and imitation wood paneling. The real character of the place comes from the Restaurant and the Lounge. The former is a roadside Tex-Mex joint; the latter is a good example of the typical Houston blue-collar bar with red carpet that smells of stale beer, a pool table, dartboards, and a TV always tuned to sports.

Sam Houston Hotel
Things are decidedly modern at "The Sam," and I use "modern" in the best of senses -- sleek, uncluttered interiors that strive for purity but avoid the "lab" look, which always leaves me with a chill. The guest rooms exert a comforting, quieting influence -- a respite from bustling downtown Houston. They also rack up lots of style points with unexpected touches, like nicely chosen fixtures and sharply dressed beds. The standard rooms are medium size and have ample, very attractive bathrooms. The two kinds of suites are larger and come with extras such as plasma TVs. But the electronics in all the rooms are quite good. The original Sam Houston Hotel was opened in the '20s and closed in the '70s. At that time, its location wasn't in the best part of downtown; now the location is great, just 2 blocks from the ballpark and Main Street.
