Things to do
Pearl Brewery
The Pearl District, located just north of downtown, is a vibrant and lively area of town. If you’re in town on Saturday between 9 am and 1 pm, don’t miss the Pearl Farmers Market, where you’ll find many vendors. If you are in this area, consider visiting some of our favorite restaurants at The Pearl: Best Quality Daughter (Asian fusion), Landino (Mediterranean), and Supper (American).
King William Historic District and Southtown Area
This is one of our favorite neighborhoods in San Antonio—we enjoy walks with our dogs on weekends here. This area has excellent restaurants, charming houses, and a less crowded section of the Riverwalk. Don’t miss the chance to savor the delicious Brussels sprouts and cocktails at HotJoy!
Hemisfair Park Area & Tower of the Americas
Hemisfair Park was the location of the 1968 World Fair and contains a few museums. The park is a lovely walk, and you can go to the top of the Tower of Americas for a panoramic view of San Antonio.
McNay Art Museum
This is Dani's favorite museum in the city! Built-in the 1920s by artist and educator Marion Koogler McNay, the Spanish Colonial Revival residence became the site of Texas’s first museum of modern art when it opened in 1954.
San Antonio Botanical Garden
We absolutely love the botanical garden. A fun fact: Brentyn used to live in an apartment just one street away from here before we purchased our house! The garden also has a fantastic restaurant called Jardin. Our early dating days are filled with cherished memories from this place. And for our one-year anniversary, we had Sarah Cooper capture beautiful photos of us right here.
