Floyd's Cajun kitchen...on Shepard or Durham south of I-10...
If you're in the mood for some good pizza - try Collina's italian kitchen - great woodfired pizza - and pretty decent other dishes.
If your near the med center...Rice Village, off Kirby - theres bookshops, all sorts of stores, and I think a hobby/toy store for the "elder" kid i believe....maybe it's a train store..food places around also.
See if the game is in town on Sunday
Also - I believe CAF has some stuff down in Galveston..45 min drive
