You didn’t just seriously tell someone to go to the beach in Galveston

Only on this board will people tell you that Los Angeles, New York, Las Vegas, and Houston are boring.

Houston is "New York City of the South". Google is your friend to find things to do.

Houston Zoo for the win! Go early (before 10) to get a parking spot, or uber. Zoo Lights is nice at night but you don’t see the animals - Christmas lights in a beautiful setting. It’s in Hermann Park so nice outdoor area to wander through and not far (by Houston standards) from where you’d likely stay. Many museums near there, too.
Good restaurants of every kind all over town. BCN for upscale dining. All Hugo’s restaurants are great (Xochi, Hugo’s, Caracol)

Kansas City is absolutely the BBQ capital of the world. Anyone who thinks anything else lacks a knowledge of BBQ history. Anyone who thinks it might be Houston is deluded, and I write that as a former Houston resident who is at least very well-trained if not an expert at smoking, grilling, and BBQ sauces.
“Barbecue Capital of the World
Kansas City is widely recognized as the barbecue capital of the world. This reputation stems from its rich history and diverse barbecue culture.
Key Features of Kansas City Barbecue
Variety of Meats: Unlike other regions that focus on specific meats, Kansas City barbecue includes a wide range of options such as pork, beef, chicken, and even lamb.
Signature Sauce: The barbecue sauce in Kansas City is known for being thick, sweet, and tomato-based, often enhanced with molasses or brown sugar.
Burnt Ends: This style originated in Kansas City, featuring the charred, fatty edges of brisket that are often smoked a second time for added flavor.
Historical Significance
Kansas City's barbecue tradition began in the early 1900s, influenced by the city's thriving stockyards and meatpacking industries. The first annual American Royal World Series of Barbecue, established in 1980, further solidified its status as a barbecue hub.
With over 100 barbecue restaurants, Kansas City continues to attract barbecue enthusiasts from around the globe, making it a must-visit destination for anyone passionate about this culinary art.”

Serious response here:
Go to Kemah and have lunch there at one of the restaurants on the water. NASA is close to Kemah and you can do a tour or just drive by and look at the rockets and other cool stuff outside.
If the weather is nice, check out Hines Lake at Memorial Park. Buffalo Bayou is nearby and you can walk around and check out the views of downtown on Sabine Street Bridge.
Houston is known for 3 cuisines: Tex mex, bbq, and vietnamese. Ninfas or El Tiempo for Tex Mex/Fajitas. Pit room, Truth bbq, Gatlins, Killens BBQ, or Pinkertons for BBQ. Pho Saigon, Pho ben, or go to Chinatown/Bellaire and pick a random vietnamese spot.
Post Houston is a newish food hall in downtown with nice views of downtown on the rooftop and a variety of food selections .
