    I will be visiting to Houston in May for the first time. Is there any specific area in the city I should avoid? Thanks in advance for any tips!

    Do you have some things already planned and you are just looking for ideas to fill some gaps in your schedule?

    Will this be mainly a business trip or mainly pleasure - vacation?

    Probably easier to ask which areas you should visit.

    Sorry I don't mean to offend. This is my first time travelling to the US and I am travelling solo so I am a bit cautious.

    It's a vacation trip. I will be watching the Astros (and the Rockets if they somehow are still in the playoffs). Other than the Astro I don't have anything planned. I am looking at hotels and I prefer a safe neighbourhood.

    Yeah, better to just go somewhere else. Anyway, if you insist just make sure you avoid Katy. Seriously tho, food is great and go to the menil collection and the Rothko chapel. Good luck (wear Kevlar).

    Heights are solid too depending in where. Other than that completely agree with the list

    You're sending him to a 2 star property that's $44 a night? I'm guessing that's an awful place

    When you see an area you should avoid, you'll know.
