Food Scene
Bangkok 54 Thai Cuisine
2515 Nacogdoches RdOne of my favorite Thai restaurants in the city. Next to the Sonic.
OK. It's fast food. But you cant beat Sonic for great shakes, slushies and tots. Also, it's within walking distance of the house. Just be careful crossing Nacogdoches as it is a busy street.

Blocks from the house - Neighborhood Tex-Mex + more traditional Mexican fair at a very reasonable price. They make their tortillas (even the corn ones) in house. Good place for a cheap meal.

Sightseeing
To get a real idea of what a mission looked like and why their are 5 of them along the San Antonio River you must visit this one first. Then, if your a real history buff, get info on the other 4 here.

Nuf said.... Just kidding.
If you don't know the history of the Alamo and the Missions in San Antonio, and you have the time, visit Mission San Jose first. Also across the street from the Riverwalk.

The Riverwalk (touristy -"yes," but still worth it,) Mexican Market, buildings dating back to the 17th century etc., etc. all withing a 2 mile radius. Why not take an architectural or ghost tour ?
