Been down that way and stayed south of Fremont for about a month last 
trip. Nice flowers up here!!

Houston has many, many thousands of restaurants and a very large number 
of those are oriental and Mexican. There are extremely good examples of 
both in the Houston area.

I get to travel a lot and so have lots of experience in places discussed 
here such as NYC and Chicago.  Most people don't realize just how many 
good restaurants there are in the Houston area and that there are great 
examples of excellent food in just about every category of dining.  And 
they are all over the place.

Thinking of going to the Pleasanton Hotel to eat this weekend.  Familiar 
with it?
