San Antonio and Austin Trip - Recs

My favorite in San Antonio is Boudro's on the Riverwalk. They can't spell but they can cook.

Blacks is a must. Tell the meat cutter it is your first time before he starts cutting

Coopers > Black’s

WTF is up with the downvoting lately? Bot action?

All these other folks got the food covered, so...

Austin Must See's:
- Bats at dusk at Congress Ave Bridge
- Paddling Lady Bird Lake - behind Hyatt on Congress
- Mt Bonnell - high point on river north of town
- Swimming holes - McKinney Falls, Barton Springs
- Reiner's ranch for hike and swimming in Pedernales River
- Lake Travis for the Oasis (just get drinks and appetizers) and state park (they also have a nude beach if you are so inclined)
- Segue tour of downtown
- Austin Brewery and Cidercade are cool

SA:
- Hop on/off bus does a good job of showing sites
- River walk of course
- El Mercado mexican market
- Sky needle - Tower of the Americas
- Six Flags if you want roller coasters

Austin Live Music:
The Continental
C-Boys
The Whitehorse (great honky tonk)

San Antonio Live Music:
The Lonesome Rose (honky tonk)
Cowboys Dancehall (really large honky tonk)

If you like wine, venture out to Fredericksburg, lots of decent wineries on the way

Heck yeah! Thanks to everyone for all the recommendations. Very much appreciated.

Some food and drink places I've enjoyed in Austin:

- Odd Duck
- Emmer & Rye
- Techo Mezcaleria & Agave Bar
- La Holly
- Dai Due
- Juan in a Million (Only time I go is for breakfast)
- Kerlin BBQ (My preference over la Barbecue in East Austin)
- Better Half Coffee & Cocktails
- Cosmic Coffee + Beer Garden (My go-to if I need to vacate a hotel and wait for a flight)
- Austin Beer Garden Brewing (Have been here a couple times before dinner at Odd Duck)
- Spokesman
- Lazarus Brewing (surprisingly, some of the better tacos I've had in Austin)

Bakery/breakfast place 1 block from the Alamo is La Panaderia. Variety and surprisingly good food.
