the money, gyro king truck on Almeda and old Spanish trail, m&m grill for cheap fusion food, and torchy's tacos. The museum district is phenomenal (most are free on Thursdays). NASA space center is really amazing if you've got the time. Run down to Galveston (45 minute drive) to hit up the beach. Hermann Park (park at centennial gardens). There may be a show at the outdoor Miller theater on Friday night and it's free if you just plan to sit on the grass. Plan to sweat like you've not sweat before if not used to muggy heat--swim and play drinking games with LSU fans.
