The Cove – San Antonio, TX

The food at the Cove isn't anything to rave about. It's good, they have sustainable, organic and local foods and hey, it's locally owned. But, I think people tend to hype this place up a bit because The Cove has been featured on the Food Network. The food is good, but it doesn't wow. [...]

Asian Festival at the Institute of Texan Cultures – San Antonio, TX

Museo Alameda – San Antonio

I went down to Market Square to get out of my apartment and grab a taco. Little did I know I'd end up at the Museo Alameda. I'd been wanting to see what they offered at this museum, but just hadn't made time for it.[...]

I wasn't sure what to expect at The Houston Street Fair & Market. The Fair takes place on the last Saturday of every month. I kept hearing about it, but kept forgetting until I'd read about it in the Sunday paper.[...]
