My wife and I stayed here this weekend and I just wanted to say yall have one of the most bad ass hotels we've ever stayed at. Easily top 1 or 2 hotel in Texas. That whole Pearl district is top notch.

Restaurants around it are fantastic as well.

It's a great addition to the city landscape.

You should probably just hang out at the river walk. Sounds more your style.

We ate at Supper and Il Sogno Osteria for dinner. Both were excellent. Il Sogno is not your typical Italian fare. I had a lamb and noodle dish which was great.

Cured is supposed to be good but its all meat all the time. Wife wasn't in the mood for meat sweats so we skipped it. We also ate lunch and watched the A&M-Alabama game at Down On Grayson which is on the corner just up the street from Emma. After asking around and walking around, it was really the only option for watching a game and it was a pretty decent choice. It has a cool layout and a great patio if the weather is good which it was. No sound on the tvs but that was fine with us considering Fat Toad and Danielson where calling the game. Food was good. I had the fish tacos which were better than your average fish taco.

There are 4-5 other restaurants there as well though. We really wanted to try Southerleighs but we couldn't make it happen and there is a vegetarian place called Green we wanted to try as well.

Hopefully you found your way to the Whataburger on Broadway, the only restaurant anyone really needs.

I'm glad at least one other person feels this way. In a town full of good mexican food, it boggles my mind that people will wait in line to eat tiny tapas sized portions of meh-quality food at La Gloria. I just don't get it. The street tacos make me laugh. Drive up to Guajillos and try those street tacos. No comparison. La Gloria sucks.

Go to gualjillos for the salsa. The tacos are just a bonus.
