During your Houston vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Lankford's
Located in the heart of the museum district, this old-style icehouse attracts a pretty diverse crowd. Look for professionals, Generation Xers and all the types in between to put in an appearance. Outdoor seating on a patio with a view is popular in fair weather. Try one of the old-fashioned burgers served up hot from the grill or opt for one of the spicy Tex-Mex selections. For a burger joint, the burritos are remarkably good. Beer is served in abundance, but you will have to go elsewhere if you insist on wine or alcohol.
King Biscuit Patio Cafe
This popular cafe's location inside a former gas station does not sound a bit appealing, but the spectacular view of the downtown skyline is worth a sunset visit on a nightly basis. Live music fans will also be impressed with the live performances that occur several nights a week. Nachos, burgers and sandwiches dominate the reasonably priced menu. A glass of the house wine is available for $3.50, and entree selections hit between $5 and $10 each.
Arcodoro Ristorante Italiano
Soaring ceilings and warm terra cotta will make you feel like you are in a real Italian villa. The prime Galleria-area location attracts both shoppers and business people who consistently come back for more. The menu is laced with Sardinian influences like the Carpaccio ai Capperi—thin slices of beef filet mignon, capers, olive oil and lemon. Menu prices range from $9 to $28. The wine list is 100% Italian, with a bottle of the house wine costing $28. Reservations are recommended, but not required.
Make your reservations for discount hotel rooms in the
Houston area, including:
Carousel Inn
The wonderful aroma of fresh-baked cinnamon rolls awakens weekend guests at this pleasant, antique-filled inn, located near Galveston's popular Stewart Beach. For a romantic getaway, inquire about the secluded carriage house or the lovely loft room, which features a whirlpool bath.
Fairfield Inn Humble
You can really get back to nature without even remotely "roughing it" at this small, comfortable hotel. Very short drives will land you at Mercer Arboretum & Nature Center, Lake Houston or the Jesses Jones Nature Center. But before you panic, you can also take care of your shopping urges nearby at Deerbrook Mall or the quaint shops of Old Humble.
Houston Marriott Medical Center
If you need to stay in the Medical Center area, consider the conveniences of this hotel. It's located in the very heart of the center with attached breezeways that connect to several hospitals and shopping venues. Request a room near the top of the 26-story building and you will be able to enjoy a beautiful, soothing view when the mood strikes.
