Enjoy a Fresh Catch at Wildfish Seafood Grille

September 22, 2016 by

From the sleek and swanky bar area to the sophisticated dining room, San Antonio's Wildfish Seafood Grille offers an inviting place to relax and enjoy a quality meal of surf and turf. We recommend the Chilean sea bass, the Icelandic cod, the shellfish tower appetizer, and the Midwestern steak, which is aged 28 days before being broiled. Wildfish Seafood Grille is generally always bustling, but the restaurant sees extra foot traffic during happy hour. Served between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. seven days a week, happy hour offers discounts on appetizers, raw oysters, cocktails, and wines.

Wildfish Seafood Grille is located in the middle of a plaza, so parking can also be difficult to find. Despite that, regulars believe that the ambiance and quality food presented at Wildfish is worth the extra effort!

Main Plaza: Get In Touch With the Heart of the City

September 1, 2016 by

In the center of San Antonio sits the city’s Main Plaza, a historic market square that was first formed in the early 1700s, but went through a major renovation in 2008. Today, Main Plaza is the site for many of the city’s most popular community-wide events, and even when there’s nothing going on, it still makes a beautiful and relaxing place to hang out and enjoy the views.

Shady trees cover the plaza’s benches and tables while scenic fountains add gentle trickling sounds that are truly relaxing. Take a stroll through the park and enjoy conversation with a friend, or take a seat on a park bench for a little people-watching during your lunch break. Main Plaza is also known to host farmers' markets, cycling meet-ups, and numerous cultural festivals throughout the year, making it a wonderful gathering place for San Antonio residents.

Main Plaza is open to the public from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily.

Halcyon Southtown: Enjoy Cocktails and Casual Cuisine

August 4, 2016 by

At Halcyon Southtown, you can enjoy all of life’s simplest pleasures all under one roof. The sandwiches are fresh and piled high with ingredients, for example, and the coffee martinis combine both of your favorite beverages.

The unique establishment doesn’t specialize in any one thing, but rather puts great care into all of its food and drinks, as well as its ambiance. Halcyon has a café-style atmosphere but looks more like a stylish bar, with a number of couches and tables scattered throughout the exposed brick seating area. There is a large bar for guests who come to enjoy drinks stronger than coffee, and you’ll find an impressive variety of spirits lining its shelves.

Free Wi-Fi throughout even makes this a cool hangout for those who want to catch up on work or studying in an environment that’s a bit more interesting than the local library.
