Downtown Houston can be skipped in my opinion. There are a few good dining options but it requires a lot of walking for not much of a return. I would suggest walking along Buffalo Bayou for a better Houston skyline experience.

Lock Bicycle
Throughout Houston, people try to steal bicycles - even when locked. If you plan on using a bicycle to get around, I would suggest bring a high quality U-lock. Thieves typically only try to steal bicycles using a flexible or chain lock. Bicycles can be stored on our balcony during your stay if you are not comfortable with locking it outside overnight.
