The silver lining is that there is a lot of really cool and tasty graffiti lining the buildings. Would love to come back and check this out next time it's happening and hopefully update my review. Update: someone "very kindly" messaged me to inform me the this only happens on the first Sunday of every month. Adding this here so no one else is mislead by the yelp page saying open on Sunday, which like a broken clock is only sometimes true.

Shopping can be hit or miss, and on this particular day, it was definitely a miss. My friends and I…read moreare dedicated bargain shoppers, and despite our best efforts, the Houston Galleria wasn't giving up any deals. With only about an hour before leaving Houston, our shopping mission was more of a speed run than a leisurely browse. Even without scoring any purchases, the Houston Galleria remains an impressive destination. The moment you step inside, you experience bright lights, multiple levels of stores, and a steady stream of shoppers that create an energetic, bustling atmosphere. Beyond shopping, the mall offers entertainment options such as its iconic indoor ice-skating rink, making it easy to spend an entire day there. One of the Galleria's biggest strengths is its variety. Luxury retailers like Chanel and Louis Vuitton share space with more accessible brands such as Banana Republic and American Eagle, offering something for nearly every budget and style. Whether you're on a focused shopping mission or simply window-shopping, there's plenty to explore...even if, in our case, we left empty-handed. The dining options are equally diverse, ranging from food-court favorites to sit-down restaurants like The Cheesecake Factory and Shake Shack to Chic-fil-a. While we didn't find the bargains we were hoping for, our fast-and-furious shopping adventure was filled with laughter and great conversation, and the kind of fun that comes from spending time with good friends. Sometimes spending quality time with friends is the best find of all.

We could not find a parking spot and what made the situation worse was a few sections where we could have parked were roped off.

There's air conditioning, plenty of places to sit despite being a rather small mall and had some pleasent sights to see. All in all it's decent for a quick bite, but nothing extrordinary or more worthwhile about it despite being deathly hollow and quiet aside from workers and business men and women going out for lunch or the occasional college going teen/ young adult after a class. The food court is the main event, there are literally only two stores in this place.

There is a tiny post office on the second floor with limited hours but it definitely beats having to go all the way to the other side of downtown to use a post office. And this tiny post office usually doesn't have a lot of traffic so you don't have to wait in line.

The George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, TX, is a hub for conferences and large-scale…read moreevents. Its floor-to-ceiling glass walls fill the interior with natural light, creating an open, spacious feel. As you walk through the convention center, there is a steady flow of activity...professionals wearing badges and networking, vendors showcasing their products, and visitors moving quickly along the walkways. It is the kind of place where you can sense the importance of an event before you even reach their area of the convention center. The convention center was strategically right across the street from our hotel. My friends and I decided to attend a women's body building conference at George R. Brown convention center. We have all toyed with the idea of participating in a bodybuilding contest. Then you think about the strict clean eating, intense workout routines and the number of supplements you dump into body, then you press the pause button. We found our way into the arena where the women's bodybuilding contest was taking place. The room was filled with anticipation, admiration, and respect. When the athletes stepped on stage, the entire space seemed to zero in on them...their massively lean bodies, muscle definition and their practiced poses. While we watched with admiration, none of us committed to pull the trigger on body building. The George R. Brown Convention Center provided the perfect backdrop to explore the possibility of bodybuilding. In addition, we perused the vendors present associated with fitness. It is always a part of growing as an individual when explore new possibilities.

They say things are bigger in Texas, and if you're talking about Convention Centers, then this one…read moredefinitely stands out. It's in the top ten by sq ft in the US, but that long hallway seems to go on forever and forever. I was here for a convention (duh) and everything was in one general area. There were lots of escalators to move between floors, and lots of hotels and restaurants around to accommodate the crowd. Very well done. Bathrooms were kept clean but they could use an update with some barriers and some spacing. There were lots of water filling stations and the staff kept up with refilling things like coffee and drinks they were providing. Lunch provided in the convention hall was done well. It was "lunch" fare for sure with sandwiches and salads and stuff like that, but they kept everything organized in feeding a bunch of attendees. I ate at both Pappadeux's and Saltgrass which are connected to the Convention Center and both were excellent choices.
