The San Antonio Riverwalk serves as the focal point of downtown. On a sunny day, there's no better spot to be than strolling along its path. But even if you've visited the riverwalk a dozen times, you can see the city with fresh eyes thanks to Rio San Antonio Cruises. The boat tours actually get sightseers out on the water to explore the city from a new point of view.

Boat tours embark from various points along the riverwalk, so hop on anywhere and purchase a ticket. Your tour guide will give you insight about the various landmarks you pass by, doling out fun, informative facts to the crowd. If you're just looking for an exciting way to get around. climb aboard the Rio Taxi. It'll take you right up to the sidewalk where your favorite restaurant or museum resides. You can even charter a cruise for a big group (20 to 40 guests) and enjoy dinner, cocktails, or a private tour of the city.

At Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers, every meal centers on a helping of chicken fingers. Raising Cane’s brags that its chicken is never frozen, and fans say they can taste that this is true. Choose from one of four combo meals that contain three to six chicken fingers. The kid’s meal gets you two chicken fingers, sides, a drink, and a prize. The sandwich combo for adults, on the other hand, includes three chicken fingers on a Kaiser roll. Sides include fries, coleslaw, and Texas toast.

Buy tailgates—quantities of 25, 50, 75, or 100 chicken fingers—to feed a group. Locals love the chicken fingers, the special dipping sauce, the slaw, the fries, the Texas toast, and the lemonade. The quality of the food remains consistent with each order, regulars say.

Raising Cane’s is open 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and 10 a.m. to midnight Fridays and Saturdays.

You’ve brushed your teeth for as long as you can remember, but how can you be sure that you’re doing it correctly? Check out these simple steps for proper tooth brushing to find out.

1. Twice a day is only the beginning. Although many people are taught to brush their teeth in the morning and the evening, that’s actually only the minimum amount. Brushing your teeth after a large meal or any time you drink a potentially staining beverage is always a good idea.
2. Brush in a circular motion. Dentists recommend brushing in a circular motion up toward the gums rather than the usual back and forth motion across the teeth. This technique removes bacteria without causing gum pain.
3. Stop the final rinse. While many people rinse their mouths out with a bit of water after brushing, this is harmful because it removes the beneficial film delivered from the toothpaste. If you feel the need to rinse, only put a small amount of water in your mouth and swish it across your tongue rather than around your teeth and gums.
4. Don’t skimp on flossing. Flossing is just as important as brushing, and it should be done almost as often. Bonus points if you floss before brushing, as that enables the toothpaste to coat those hard-to-reach places between the teeth.
