Restaurants...

-Mama Mia's downtown for Italian food
-The Longhorn for steaks
-Kiko's is good Mexican food that's easy to find


Things to do...
What do you like? Sightseeing? Barhopping? Clubbing?

If you like sightseeing, check out North Beach just over the Harbor Bridge. The Lexington aircraft carrier (now a museum) is over there along with the Texas State Aquarium. That Friday (Dec. 29) and Saturday, the TAMU-CC Islanders are hosting a college hoops tournament. Here's their schedule

KIKO's is the place I was thinking of............

LONGHORN - I think that's the place where Rita, P44, AP Panther Fan and I met for supper during Regional Golf............ very good food - and the libations were pretty good as well :)

JUST KIDDING!

And yes, we did go to the Longhorn Steakhouse. I am still kind of partial to Texas Roadhouse (I think it is still open).:thinking:

A couple other good places are Executive Surf Club and Dr. Rockit's. They're about a block apart on Chaparral St. downtown.

Here's the link for Brewster Street Ice House (www.brewsterstreet.net)

Looks like you can look at upcoming events/entertainers and order tickets online.

man, you're showing some age dropping names like that. i spent many drunk nights in inza's back in the 70's.

Thanks everybody - I've gotten alot of great ideas...

Corpus is an awesome place over the Christmas break, I have found. Always something to do...too bad it isn't like that in other times of the year.

I'll second the previous suggestions on restaurants and things to do. Also, if you are looking for seafood, Water Street Seafood Company (on Water Street...go figure) is good, as is Snoopy's Pier (under the JFK Causeway going toward the Island...just ask people how to get there). For Mexican Food, La Playa is also good...one of their locations is just off SPID next to Outback Steakhouse.
