The Woodlands, Tx
Going to be spending the weekend in the Woodlands. I am looking for some decent dining options (preferably not too expensive) in the area - this is Texas so I will obviously have a car. Any recommendations on things to do besides what's in the Woodlands proper?

Right at the Woodlands mall, there is the water taxi service to many of the bigger national chains along the canal. More "local" options would require driving a bit.
is it this next weekend? If it is in April there are concert there at the Woods Mitchell Pavilion http://www.woodlandscenter.org/welco...ate=2011-03-28
The Jones state forest is just up IH-45 off FM 1488 rd (west bound). It has trails and such if you like "woodsy nature".
This gives events in the area:

Old Town Spring is just down the road east of IH-45. It goes for the olde timey vibe and has many local food joints and handburger shacks plus galleries and shopping.
Ciao,

Hubbell & Hudson is a market & bistro worth visit in the Woodlands. For cheap eat, Grimaldi's Pizza or Crust Pizza Co is a good choice.
Check Cynthia Woods Pavillion for music concerts or performance shows.
If you are willing to drive south to Houston, Miller Outdoor Theatre also offers good variety of performance. Check their calendar.
Alison Cook of Houston Press nicely wrapped up Houston food scenes in this article: Houston: One Great Unsung Restaurant Cities.
Enjoy the Woodlands (and Houston).
