As a foodie with an insatiable appetite for trying new culinary experiences, I have to admit that it’s a bit disappointing when my kids ask for Chick-fil-a….again. There are SO many great restaurants in San Antonio! But, as a mom, I get that finding a place with a playground and chicken tenders is sometimes the…
It’s hard to find a taco restaurant in San Antonio that doesn’t have carnitas on its menu. Slow-cooked, drippy, decadent pork meat is, quite frankly, absolutely delicious, so it makes sense that every restaurant wants to have it on its menu. But with so many restaurants out there serving less-than-awesome options, like dry meat, or…
Holiday pop up bars in San Antonio are relatively new to our city. While they’ve been around for years in other places around the country, the Alamo City is just now entering the ring and offering a few fun and festive options. And while there aren’t a ton, we do have a handful of great…

But what people DON’T come to Six Flags for…
On November 11, the Michelin Guide announced the results of its long awaited foray into Texas cuisine. Four cities – Austin, Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio – were the big winners, walking away with newly minted Michelin starred restaurants and a slew of other restaurant recommendations. A big congratulations to the San Antonio restaurants who…
It has been a banner week for Little Em’s Oyster Bar. First a recommendation from the Michelin Guide and then a move to a brand new location. And all within the span of about 48 hours. But such is life for busy restaurateurs Houston and Emily Carpenter. With the recent closure of their restaurant Upscale,…
I love the San Antonio Central Library – like, REALLY LOVE it. The library has been one of my happy places for the last 25 years of my adulthood. I attribute this to the fact that I grew up in a small, rural town, with a very limited library. It had books and magazines and…
