Staying in Houston's Galleria area
I'm visiting Houston in mid-July for five days and have reservations at InterContinental Houston in the Galleria district. I know the hotel has free transportation to the shopping mall, but should I rent a car? What else is there to do in and around the Galleria? Recommendations for restaurants near the hotel are appreciated!

If it's still there (I haven't been to Houston in a few years) Chacho's, at 6006 Westheimer, has awesome Tex-Mex food, especially their fajitas. Actually, all along that street for about 10 blocks or maybe more there are many good restaurants.
The Galleria area itself is mostly about shopping and eating. There is a lot to do and see in the Hermann Park/ Museum district.

One of my favorite restaurants inside the Galleria is the Daily Grill if you like steak. There are chain restaurants there too, Cheesecake Factory, Grand Luxe Cafe, Maggianos, etc.
