36 Hours in San Antonio, Texas.

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.
