      I used to live there until this summer and know the city pretty well.

      For bars and nightclubs -
      Epic in Midtown on Tuesday - just opened recently and heard it was good, but not sure.

      Escobar in Midtown is cool on Wednesdays - the djs play mostly house, but mix in hip hop to keep the hot girls happy. Also on Wednesdays, the Davenport is small lounge that plays house and electro tunes all night.

      Crome, Bond, and Hue are good on Thursdays. All 3 clubs are nice inside and play mixtures of house, rock, hip hop. Not sure which one is the hot one on Thursdays.

      Check out Eden afterhours for the wild crowd from 2 am til early morning.

      As for Restaurants -
      Mark's serves everything and is a Houston favorite. Benjy's is one of my favorites that serves everything too in Rice Village. Everyone like Ruggles too in Montrose.
      Catalan - I hear is a new hot spot that is South American.
      Pappasito's has great fajitas. Chuy's for Tex-mex. I would definitely hit Pappasito's or Chuy's before leaving Houston.
      America's is excellent South American food and its little restaurant brother Churrasco's is good too.

              Can't give you much advice on clubbing and what not but definitely go eat at Pappasito's. It's some of the best Tex-Mex (especially enchaladas) you can get. Chuy's isn't half bad either.

              You can't have manslaughter without laughter.

              "Son," he said without preamble, "never trust a man who doesn't drink because he's probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They're the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They're usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they're a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can't trust a man who's afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It's damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he's heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl."

                  Your welcome! Let me know what you think or find cool yourself while there. I'm going there in a couple of weeks myself for a couple of days.
