THE THEATRE DISTIRCT (DOWNTOWN)
The Houston Theater District, a 17-block area in the heart of Downtown Houston, is home to Houston's nine world-class performing arts organizations, the 130,000 square-foot Bayou Place entertainment complex, restaurants, movies, plazas and parks.
The district is ranked second in the United States for the number of theater seats in a concentrated downtown area and is one of only five cities with permanent professional resident companies in all of the major performing arts disciplines (the Houston Grand Opera, the Houston Symphony Orchestra, the Houston Ballet, and The Alley Theatre).
One of the several attractions in the district is the Bayou Place Entertainment Complex—a large multilevel building that is home to full service restaurants, bars, live music, billiards, multiple theatres and art house films. The Houston Verizon Wireless Theatre stages a variety of live concerts and the Angelika Theatre presents the latest in art, foreign and independent films.

NEARTOWN--AKA MONTROSE (Neartown is bounded by U.S. Highway 59 to the south, Allen Parkway to the north, Bagby Street on the east, and Shepherd Drive to the west.)
Neartown is an area located in west-central Houston, Texas and is one of the city's major cultural areas. The location comes with distinctive character of eccentricity and diversity. The location and boundaries of Neartown is colloquially referred to as Montrose. Once a magnet for the hippie movement, Houstonians would consider it as a hybrid of San Francisco's the Haight-Ashbury and The Castro.

GALVESTON
Galveston is known for its historic neighborhoods and a ten-mile long seawall designed to protect the city from floods. It is also home to the infamous Balinese Room, a historic nightclub and former illegal gambling hall located on a 600-foot pier extending into the Gulf of Mexico.

The city houses many tourist attractions. The attractions include the Galveston Schlitterbahn waterpark, Moody Gardens, the Lone Star Flight Museum, a downtown neighborhood of historic buildings known as "The Strand," many historical museums and mansions, and miles of beach front. The Strand plays host to a yearly Mardi Gras festival, Galveston Island Jazz & Blues Festival, Texas Beach Fest, Lone Star Bike Rally, and a Victorian-themed Christmas festival called "Dickens on the Strand" (honoring the works of novelist Charles Dickens, especially A Christmas Carol) in early December. There are lots of shops along The Strand that you can have fun in.
Other attractions in Galveston include Moody Gardens, the Galveston Island Railroad Museum, Schlitterbahn, the Strand and the Lone Star Flight Museum. Galveston is also home to several historic ships: the tall ship Elissa at the Texas Seaport Museum and USS Cavalla and USS Stewart, both berthed at Seawolf Park on nearby Pelican Island. Galveston is also home to a symphony orchestra and a small ballet company.

Answer 2

For the homeowner, the same types of problems are matriculating from the first time buyer neighborhoods with high rates of delinquency and high LTV's to the investment grade locations that are historically immune to price declines. This is no sooner the case than in the Bay Area when you compare the subprime market of Oakley, CA to the investment grade market of Berkeley. In an unscientific survey of 100 homes I found that nearly 20% are listed on the MLS at prices below previous sale prices. The average markdown is 10%. Just imagine the pain of paying the agent 6% on top of that! This doesn't reflect the many homes that will be sold 10% below their asking price. Meanwhile, the ripples in the river delta town of Oakley are slowly matriculating to investment grade towns like Berkeley.

Answer 3

Hit the bars of course. Try Red Star in midtown, or europa. Also depending on the weather you may want to head to the beach in Galveston (45 mins south) or if you're thinking about learning something you can go tour NASA at Space Center Houston. Of course the Galleria is a great place but contrary to popular belief it's just a mall. You gotta have the food though! Museums probably don't interest you too much since you mentioned spending your money on booze in your question. Good luck and safe travels!
