Going to San Antonio for New Years. What to Do?
Seriously, what is there to do? I havent been in like 20 years. Someone give me some ideas for grub and cool places to go shoot pictures.

For bringing in the New Year, Alamo St. is closed off by Hemisfair Park. You can check out the fireworks there and its one of the few times that you can grab a beer on street-level (and not get ticketed.) It's no Times Square, but you can bar hop for a while DT until just before midnight and work your way over there. Don't eat on the Riverwalk, unless you absolutely want/have to, but you can find better places in Southtown (Rosario's, The Monterey, etc.) or north of DT. Places to shoot pictures? Depends on what you want to shoot. |

Drinking beer on the streets sounds good. Looking for good but affordable food. So any suggestions about good places is definitely appreciated. Im open to all kinds of food. As far as photos, I like to shoot pictures of people. So where would the people be at? Where my hipsters at? Typically hipsters and good food can be found close together. Click the flickr link and you'll get an idea of what i like to shoot. Where are some BAD ASS tacos?!?!?!? Im from spring branch so not afraid of carts either. |
Rosario's sounds nice. The monterey looks good too but alot more expensive for the basic kind of grub they are serving.

There are plenty of crowds in/around DT over the holidays, lots of good places to people watch. Hipsters? Maybe you can spot a couple for us.... Nice pics. |

Sorry, but the tourists aren't what make the riverwalk restaurants bad. It's the food. Unless you leave the horseshoe-- then there's Acenar, Luke, La Gloria (way far) etc. But seriously, steer clear of the Riverwalk restaurants. The surface restaurants are all better.
Badass tacos? You want La Tuna (the kitchen will be reopened by November after burning down last week), or Rosario's. Nobody's mentioned Tito's, but it's freakin' great, too, and also in Southtown. Also, Freddy's on South Flores is good. And I agree with miaht82, the Monterey is awesome, though on New Year's I expect it to be crazy. Hell, all of those places with feel like Calcutta on NYE. |

I completely disagree about the Riverwalk restaurants. Just because it's a tourist hang out doesn't make the restaurants bad. The County Line, Rainforest Cafe, Hard Rock Cafe, etc. are still good restaurants.

Join the nearly 300,000 people partying at Celebrate San Antonio downtown.
It's a blast, but very crowded. Chill in Southtown then just before 12:00, head to Hemisfair Park. |
