Kirby's Steakhouse has been a San Antonio fixture since 1954, having fed a few generations of diners their grain-fed, aged midwestern Prime Beef. Seafood, wine and some yummy sides and desserts are also on their menu, making this a pleasant spot to enjoy a meal.

Kirby's ambiance is casually elegant, with lots of dark wood and white tablecloths. Pick something from their flavorful list of appetizers to get your meal started, like Snow Crab Claws, Oysters Ladybird, Grilled Tequila Shrimp or Fried Pickle Chips. Move on to the main event with an entrée such as Prime Cowboy Cut Ribeye, Blue Ribbon Filet Mignon, Grilled Redfish with Jumbo Lump Crab, or Australian Rack of Lamb. You can also enjoy tasty side dishes including Sauteed Mushrooms, Creamed Spinach and Mushroom Risotto.

Located in San Antonio, Kirby's Steakhouse is open every day.

Whether your apartment measures 200 square feet or 1,000 square feet, how large it feels depends on how it functions. Artfully arranging your furniture and incorporating smart storage solutions can make even the tiniest studio apartment feel like a luxury penthouse loft, and these space-savvy tips will show you just how to make the most of each square foot in your rental unit.

1. Use light to your advantage. No matter how limited you are on space, having good lighting can make all the difference. Play up your apartment’s natural light sources by using sheer curtains or blinds in light colors that invite the maximum amount of sunlight inside.
2. Arrange – and then rearrange. Instead of moving in and leaving your furniture right where you first placed it, don’t be afraid to rearrange multiple times until you find the situation that best suits your space.
3. Make your furniture play double-duty. Adding furniture pieces that double as storage systems (such as using a chest as a coffee table or a kitchen table as a desk) is one of the best ways to maximize the space in your apartment.

The eight-mile-long San Antonio Missions Hike and Bike Trail is a great way to spend an afternoon, locals say. Even longtime San Antonio residents say the trail has given them access to some parts of the city they didn’t even know existed. The trail connects San Antonio’s four historic missions: Concepcion, Mission San Jose, Mission San Juan, and Mission Espada. You can learn more about Texas history and take in the scenery along the San Antonio River.

The trail isn’t a loop, so a round trip along the length of the trail will consist of 16 miles. Many locals rent bikes for a trip along the San Antonio Missions Hike and Bike Trail. Grab water at any of the missions or get something to eat near Missions Concepcion or San Jose.

The San Antonio Missions Hike and Bike Trail is open from dawn to dusk every day.
