"A mouthwatering destination for foodies," according to USA Today, Houston offers dining options from BBQ to seafood, and from Tex-Mex to Vietnamese. Jazz and blues clubs add to the lively nightlife. As Dan Halpern wrote in The New York Times,"Maybe that's what makes Houston such an unusual and wonderful place — there are so many different Houstons to see."
