The East side is very nice. Martin Luther King Drive is a great street to go sightseeing on, especially in a 2015 Mercedes or Audi.

Don't forget the Farmer's market on Cherry Street.

Yeah he should check out the Wheatley Courts while he's there and slow down to a stall to check out the renowned architecture.

No love for Cascabel right across the street from Rosarios? That place is way better.

Are you going to have a car? There are some amazing BBQ joints in Lockhart and Luling which are easy hour drives from SA. I have heard nothing but great things about Franklin's in Austin also, but I'm not waiting two hours in line for a fucking brisket. Port Aransas is a 2-3 hour drive and great wadefishing down there. For camping I really like Lost Maples which is a couple hours outside of town, though the best is taking a weekend to go camp at Big Bend National Park, though it's a long drive.
The east side if you wanna paintball.....with real bullets.

All the more reason that OP must visit while he's in town.

Never been but always wanted to check it out. I personally don't like rosarios but that's a big destination for ppl when they come into town..along with mi tierra.

Awesome interior Mexican, only downside is they close at 4PM. I love Mi Tierra's bakery, the food is kind of hit or miss, though I like their cabrito in arbol salsa.

Always makes me laugh when I'm driving down Durango and see this nice area where Victoria Courts used to be. :lol

Yes, Housing Authority is buying them out. They are replacing with a planned development.

No sir, we aren't supposed to drive, which is a bummer. Do you know anything closer though? Im
concerned about curfews and stuff, although I don't know yet how they work out the passes for ait.

Well there used to be a good whorehouse within walking distance, down on New Braunfels Ave, tbh.

Thank you! I'll definitely check them out. Any good places to go aside from the river walk and Alamo? Sucks though that I'll be there when the spurs aren't playing and even if they are, I probably won't be able to watch the games bec of curfews.
