This weekend, most Americans are at home grilling in their backyards, so use next weekend to travel. Spend your Next Weekend Away in San Antonio, Texas.
Not as high-profile as Dallas or Houston, and less funky than Austin, San Antonio does two things tremendously: Tex-Mex and history. Remember the Alamo? Of course you do. We think you might remember it a lot better over a cerveza and a few enchiladas.
Aside from the incredible cuisine, check out the tree-shaded Riverwalk with so much to do both day and night, and kick back with a little Willie Nelson while sipping on an aguas frescas (fruit-infused water). Shoppers can head straight to La Villita, which is a Southwestern marketplace that sells handmade and traditional beads, jewelry, and blankets.
At the Fairmount Hotel San Antonio, get your third night free if you book with hotels.com. At $159 each night, it’s like paying just over $100 a night (or just over $50 if you travel with a companion!). The hotel boasts free wireless internet, a gym, complimentary toiletries, luxurious Egyptian cotton bedding, and an ultra convenient location right in the center of town.
