Things to do in Houston or San Antonio (tomorrow)

[spankswife]

My (college age) brother and his friend are on an epic road trip right now, and will be in area tomorrow.

What is something fun for them to do or see?

I really like Liberty Bar in San Antonio www.liberty-bar.com/. It's on the Riverwalk, but not crazy touristy. They have fabulous drinks, and a good selection of local beer.

There are missions to tour, the Alamo of course.

Houston and San Antonio are quite a ways from one another. If he's near SA, how about Austin instead? It's not much farther. I lived in SA for a few years. I agree with PP, if you've never been there before, do the Riverwalk. The Alamo is right across the street, literally.

Thanks! I think they are going to do the Alamo and Riverwalk.

They are coming from AZ, so they could have gone to either.

If anyone is interested, they started in N FL, went to St. Louis (arch), Kansas City (BBQ!), up to SD, cave tour and Mt. Rushmore, Grand Teton, Yellowstone, a few days in MT visiting people, Glacier Natl, to BC/Victoria, down to Seattle (space needle), Salt Lake City, Vegas, Grand Canyon, now heading towards TX, and eventually back to N FL. Road trip of a lifetime!

The Pearl is a fun area to explore. I recommend eating there instead of the Riverwalk.

I like sea world and the San Marcos outlets. I am guessing these would not interest them.

They should stop in Luling for Blacks BBQ and in Shiner and drink at the Shiner brewery on their drive from SA to Houston.

In Houston they could check on The Beer Can House and The Orange Show.
