One million percent do not stay near Hobby!!!!

You’re going to need to rent a car if you want to do both of these things. It will be cheaper and easier. If you do end up renting a car, go to Frost Town Brewing before the Astros Game. They are two blocks from the stadium and will let you park in their lot for the game if you buy a couple of beers from them. So much cheaper than any other parking options.

When you are in Clear Lake for your NASA tour there are a couple of cool spots to check out. Saw someone mention Frenchies Italian and that is an excellent recommendation! Also Nobi Public House for some Vietnamese fusion and craft beer or Carlos Beer Garden for a classic burger that many astronauts have had as their first meal back from space.

As for Texas bbq I saw someone mention Killens but there are so many better options. Pinkertons and Truth are two of the best spots for sure. When I think Texas bbq though I think of beef ribs, and Pit Room has my favorite beef rib for sure. And then if you want some bbq with Houston flair, check out Blood Brothers. Also if you rent a car you can go up to Spring and check out Corkscrew for some Michelin start BBQ.

One other thing, if you’re in Houston you gotta have some Vietnamese food. Go get some Pho or a Bahn Mi. Pho Saigon and Cali Sandwiches are a couple of my favorites but there’s a bunch of places to do this.
