My Top 3 Things to do in San Antonio

A few months ago I had the pleasure of going to San Antonio for the Armstrong McCall Hair Show. It was my first time going to this little big town, and was excited to see what there was to do!

Because of my line of work, I have seen most of Texas. Houston, Dallas, Austin, Corpus Christi, Galveston, to name a few. But I had never been to San Antonio, home of the Alamo, and this history lover couldn't wait to see this archival town.

So..after exploring I have concocted a list of experiences you ALL need to have!

One of the main attractions in San Antonio is the River Walk. It is the hot spot of the city. You do kind of feel like a tourist, but also feel like a local! This is the place where you find great BBQ, Bars, and Karaoke! One of the greatest experiences I had in San Antonio was taking a River Boat Cruise around the whole canal and seeing the River Walk in a different way! My girlfriend and I were able to bring wine on board and the tour guide was very sweet and informative.

My girlfriend Jen and I decided to go at night to see all the entertainment and restaurants lite up.

This is a MUST SEE!

For lunch we went to The Country Line and might I say...YUM! They had huge portions, which meant I was able to take some to go to eat late night while binge-watching Orange is the New Black!
WIN.
The ambiance was amazing!

I had the Lite Bar B-B-Q...and before you judge...take a look at the menu:

 

I choose the Two Meat Platter, and it did not disappoint!

The Alamo was really interesting.
First off it's free to go to the front and take your picture, feel the stone and really embrace this piece of history.
Secondly, it's in the heart of downtown and was walking distance from my hotel.
You can take a Guided Tour for $15.
GET YOUR TICKETS HERE, which I was too late to purchase due to my work schedule, but I was still able to walk around the whole building and peek in and see the grounds!

Finally,
You need to go to the Pearl District!

A local told me to check it out, and it did NOT disappoint!

 The Pearl Brewery is such a unique experience!

It is one of the main features at The Pearl, which is an outdoor space that includes shops, restaurants, and trendy apartment buildings!
