Marco,

You can only buy individual tickets to a Texans game through Ticketmaster. 

A few suggestions for you for your proposal: Mark's, Brenner's on the Bayou or Tony's.  All are very upscale and romantic.  Congratulations!

Veronica

Alejandro,

You're looking for an event tonight? Here are your options:

• Dancin in the Street...Motown and More at Miller Outdoor Theatre 
• Houston Ballet's Made in America
• What We're Up Against at the Alley Theatre
• k.d. lang at the Bayou Center

Let me know if you need more ideas!

Hi David,

You can arrange a Super Shuttle to pick you up at the airport and drop you off at your desired location.

There is also Metro Bus that departs from Terminal C.  I'd use Metro's Trip Planner so you can plug in your date and time information.  Otherwise, you can take a Taxi.  It is about 25 miles from the airport to the Medical Center/Rice University or around $60 for the fare.

Hope this helps,

Veronica 

Hi Teresa,

You know so many people are relocating here and we love that. Houston really is one of the best places in the country to live!

It's really difficult for me to make a specific recommendation to you though as far as areas with good schools that meet your commute criteria and are within your budget. Home prices are relatively low in Houston but they are picking up a bit. My best suggestion to you is to read the Relocation Guide from the Greater Houston Partnership, which is chock-full of useful information for those moving to the city. I would also suggest you spend a lot of time on the Houston Area Realtors site. There you can get a feel for neighborhoods and select a real estate agent to work with.

I hope this helps!

Joe,

I have a few suggestions for you:

• Aerosmith is performing at Toyota Center on July 30 
• You could do a Saint Arnold Brewery tour at 3pm on either day.  Always a blast.

There are a variety of behind-the-scenes tours and experiences at some of our attractions and sports facilities.

We've also put together a list of team-building activities that would be fun for your group. 

Let me know if you have additional questions about any of these suggestions or if you want me to give you others.

Have fun!

Veronica

Terry,

We have a great special offers section on our website with a minimum 15 percent discount on restaurants, attractions and more. The hotel packages on our website are also a great option.  Unfortunately, none of the packages include tickets to an Astros game, but you can purchase those individually. 

Also, make sure to check our our sample itineraries for ideas of things to do. 

If you have additional questions, let me know! 

Veronica

Amy,

You're in luck! We've created a girls weekend itinerary that will have lots of ideas for you! Of the cozy bars mentioned here, I love Boheme, 13 Celsius and La Carafe. 

Take a look at the itinerary, and let me know if you have additional questions.

Vanessa,

Unfortunately, the Houston Visitors Center isn't available for rent anymore.  I'd look into an inexpensive restaurant that doesn't charge a rental fee.  A few suggestions (although you'll want to confirm with the restaurant directly): Canopy, the breakfast klub, The Chocolate Bar. 

We also have a venue search functionality on our website where you can choose how much space you need, whether you need a private room, what kind of venue you're looking for, etc.  You'll need to contact the locations directly for pricing, but it's a good start for you! Check it out. 

Let me know if you have additional questions!

Veronica

Stuart,

There are a few hotels in the Texas Medical Center/Reliant Park area (very close to the Museum District) that fit your criteria--an outdoor pool and free parking. 

• Comfort Suites - Reliant Park/Medical Center
• Courtyard by Marriott Houston Medical Center 
• Extended Stay Deluxe Medical Center/Reliant
• Hampton Inn and Suites - Medical Center/Reliant Park
• Holiday Inn Houston at Reliant Park

If you feel like splurging, Hotel Zaza is located inside the Museum District and has a fantastic pool.  There is a parking charge, and it can be a bit pricey, but I wanted to make sure you knew about it! 

If you have additional questions, let me know!

Hi Nicole,

A few things pop to mind: Dancin' in the Street at Miller Outdoor Theatre, the Richard Serra exhibition at The Menil Collection, the SNAP exhibition at Art League Houston and the Danny Lyon exhibit at the Menil. These are just the free things that are available but many other events are happening this weekend that have a nominal fee. Check out the rest of the weekend calendar here.

Also, here is a list of things that are always free in the city!
