I do not know if you have a spouse going. Either way this place is unreal.
Yes, it is $10 for a slice of cake, but damn well worth it! http://www.theoriginalchocolatebar.com/dessert.aspx ZaZa here has, or at least used to have, some heart stoping talent wandering around. I would think the same is true for Houstons. http://www.hotelzaza.com/houston/

^ Good.
I would tell him/her to go to Brennan's for Cajun/creole but it is still being rebuilt...Katrina/fire. You mention "safe" downtown areas. Downtown Houston buzzes at night just like the day time hours. People everywhere. At least on the more northern end. It's a huge downtown, if you will. Tons of cool bars and such right in downtown. It's been a few years but I think Smith street is loaded. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Rev...ton_Texas.html

Houston sucks ass. I used to live there. Traffic is horrible, crime rate is high, weather is obnoxious. I'd much rather live in Austin.

i was born and raised in Houston. but i have lived many other places, including austin. once you know what life is like outside of houston you dont want to come back. and my biggest complaint is the people. i dont like the South in general, even though TX is its own thing. Houston does have much to offer, it just doesnt suit me.

Oh, also, if you're looking for some nightlife, go to one of these 3 areas:
Midtown: west gray and brazos area. all the bars are within walking distance. Rice village: take kirby south and turn left on university blvd, cant miss it. There are a few other places around houston with some good bars, but if you just want to park it and hit up a few diff bars that night, those 2 places are where to go. personally, i like rice village better, but thats just because i lived in midtown for a year and probably went to the bars 3-4 times a week, so after a year of that it gets kinda old, lol.

If it only takes you 11 minutes without traffic....time to find a side route or leave at a different time.
