Super nice and the rooftop pool is sick

Woodrow’s and Pitch 25 are some great places to pregame.

Go eat at the original Ninfas

Why would he travel to eat at a crappy Cajun knockoff

I’d add:

Captain Foxheart’s
Potente
Tiny Champion’s (short Uber)
Sunny’s (Friday during the day)
St. Arnold’s (short Uber)

You haven’t been there in at least 7 years have you?

I agree with everything on your list except Frank’s Pizza… unless it’s just there for a late night slice when you don’t care about quality.

I’ll also add Brasserie du Parc - a French bistro. Never had a bad meal there.

Yeah I disagree there. Franks is great no-frills NY style pizza. It’s not “gourmet” so maybe that’s the problem for some. But it is great at what it is and has been around forever. Everybody knows Frank’s.

It’s not a sit-down, waiter-service restaurant though. More like an indoor food stand with tables. So if you’re wanting the restaurant experience try something else.

The Papa’s restaurants are generally proficient at what they do but not special. They’re also a chain. If you’re visiting Houston and going to one of those places, it’s a bit like going to New York and eating at Chili’s for your big night out. Take one of the more unique suggestions being offered here.

And when I want great Cajun food, I go to Louisiana not Texas.
