In my brief excursion to San Antonio I did the following. 1. Alamo - About as exciting as the reception room of the rental car outlet of the same name. 2. River walk by night. - Bougie restaurants, bars, and a artificial "canal" that looks kind of like the Vegas Venetian hotel. 3. Famous SA Breakfast Tacos - Solid....but it's a breakfast taco.

There must be something better, but I thought I'd get those out of the way for you. You can also drive to Austin in 1:30, which is like a short drive in TX terms.

Come on up and visit us in Austin. Just an hour and some change up the interstate, or a little longer if you take the scenic route up 281.

Oh man, I really wish I could, I'll be without a rental car (staying at a hotel near the riverwalk where the convention I'm going to is at)!

San Antonio's kinda goofy, but I like it! You have zero idea just how underwhelmed you will be at the Alamo. Couple good spots to chow down at:

Schilo's - Very old school German deli, been around forever. Slightly tourist-trap-y, but very tasty!
Mezquite- In the Pearl area (very easy to get a Lyft from downtown, shouldn't be more than 10 min.) Focus is on Norteno Mexican food and it kicks ass. Maybe the best meal I had all year last year. Definitely at the top.
Con Huevos - Life-changing breakfast tacos.

Two spots I haven't been to:
Best Quality Daughter - Right by Mezquite. Chinese/fusion deal that everyone I know who's eaten there says it's spell-binding.
Boudro's on the Riverwalk - Another classic/"been around forever" deal. They'll make guac at your table, but be warned the river usually smells pretty bad.

Man, I love Texas.

Hell yeah, exactly what I was looking for! Mezquite sounds awesome, definitely will hit that up!

Going to London with my girlfriend in August for my brother's birthday. Would love recommendations on neighborhoods to stay, best used bookstores, dives/pubs, favorite food & restaurants, comic book shops, essential, do-not-miss things to do when you've got a week in London. Would be great to catch a show while we're out there. Aug 14-21. Thanks all.

I haven't been there in 20 years, so I have nothing current to say except grab yourself a copy of the UK magazine "Classic Rock", the gig guide in the back is outstanding.

You can basically see a small to BIG gig every night in LDN if you want to. It's amazing.
