The "36 Hours" feature of the New York Times has a nice hook. Every week the article reviews a different city, but with the premise, "Where should I go if I only have a weekend?"This week they spent their hours in San Antonio, and as usual, listed the ten or so places to visit, including a few restaurants. As regular readers know, I like San Antone and am fortunate enough to visit a couple times a year. I have reviewed a few San Antonio restaurants and a hotel or two. Also, we have a few regular readers from the Alamo city who comment. Okay, one reader, and he's my son.
Anyway, here is the unedited-and-without-comment list of the New York Times, "36 Hours in San Antonio."
For the full list and descriptions see the NYTimes / SanAntonio:
- La Villita historic district / shopping
- Il Sogno Osteria / restaurant
- Casbeers at the Church / music
- Pearl Brewery / historic site
- The Cove / Burger
- Museo Alameda / Art
- River Walk and Alamo
- Aldaco’s Stone Oak / patio dining
- Green Lantern / cocktails
- Smokehouse / barbecue
- Brackenridge Park / walking
- Riverwalk Vista Bed & Breakfast / B&B
- Valencia Riverwalk / smaller hotel
- Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa / new hotel on the northside
Final note: The Marriott Hill Country is new and by the looks of it pretty spectacular. It is on the north side of the city and a bit of a drive into the Riverwalk area. But if you are looking for a weekend resort-type stay, the hotel should has wonderful views of the Hill Country and outdoor activities available.
