The downtown area has a lot going for it. A lot of shops, restaurants, and bars. There are many museums and attractions close by. The Cotton Exchange is very close and is packed with some nice restaurants. All of this is worth seeing, but prices are slowly but surely climbing faster than the quality of the attractions. Ridiculous parking problems compounded by an invisible police presence make downtown a little dodgy at night. Be warned! Be safe! All in all worth seeing if you are in the area.
