Lake area). Tel.:281-280-8200. To get there from town,
take I-45 South, exit at Exit 23, and go left (East)
Until you reach the restaurant. The restaurant offers an
excellent selection of Persian dishes (Eric recommends
the food.) Admission is free, but guest are encouraged
to have a meal. DJ'ing will be provided by Eric Lanoix.
See you there! [Technical detail: Apparently E NASA Road
1 has been renamed NASA Parkway. Google Maps have yet
to get the memo. Yahoo! Maps has. Both map services
show their data is derived from NAVTEQ, so go figure.
The link below says 911 E NASA Road 1, which is the same
as NASA Parkway.]
