segovia Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I love San Antonio. I lived there 4 years during my undergraduate work. I am fortunate to have family living there today. Whenever I visit, I try to frequent these downtown places:http://www.bluestarbrewing.com ; Beer & Burger Jointhttp://www.guentherhouse.com ; Excellent breakfast and lunch placehttp://www.sfcathedral.org ; Famous catholic churchhttp://www.kingwilliamassociation.org ; Tour the beautiful historic neighborhood & surrounding art galleriesRosario's Mexican Restaurant910 S Alamo St San Antonio TX(near Guenther's and the King William's District)The Westin - Riverwalk (Nice, new hotel). It is walking distance to the restaurant "Biga's on the Bank" and the Majestic theater.http://www.biga.com ; American cuisine (almost had my wedding reception here but place was too small)http://www.majesticempire.com ; Broadway, Symphony, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTx Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Since I love architecture I really love to come up out of the Riverwalk and take in San Antonio's buildings. I have seen some site San Antonio's lack of mega buildings like Houston and Dallas as a minus. However, I like the fact that San Antonio has a unique DT area with many of its older buildings still in use as class A buildings. The Tower Life is nice but there many more buildings there too. The South Texas Building is a fav of mine along with the Milam, the Rand, and the Majestic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I've been to all of the area missions, and the aquaduct. Very cool. So few tourists go to see the ones at the end of the trail that more often than not you're the only person there, and you can really relax and soak in the atmosphere and really really imagine what it must have been like. The missions are the best part of San Antonio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
