Although this is the pared-down version of their supersized store out Westheimer, it is fun to shop around or eat from the different deli counters or restaurant. Nice $12 steak night on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It is one block from Discovery Green Park downtown, which is just across from the George R. Brown Convention Center.
