Downtown there are several new resturants downtown. One I have yet to make it to is the Downtown Aquarium.

No... But, they are in walking distance of each other on Kirby just off of 59 inside the 610 Loop.

In keeping with the Pappas family tradition, their hamburger joint, is one of the best around. It's on Westheimer, just down from the Galleria. If you want good Italian food, Macaroni Grill is just across the street. We eat at these two places frequently.

An absolute must for Valentines Day! PURE PURFECTION
The atmosphere at the Aqaurium is great but the food isn't that awesome. My advice is to have drinks and appetizers there, and then move on.

The San Antonio Zoo is really great, never been to the Houston Zoo. Just my 2 cents, but no way would I go into Houston for anything.....is Sinton closer to Houston than San Antonio??Originally posted by pirate44
