Wife and I are getting away for a few days to San Antonio. Staying on river walk. Any must see activities or restaurants or things to do within 20-30 mins of downtown? Otherwise we will just lay around and eat queso. Which is totally great. But wanted to at least check. Will be there from a noon Friday to early Monday morning. Thanks, Ags!

Go have a couple of pops at the Paramour Bar. Go have a couple more at the Menger Bar. Go have a few more at Esquire Tavern.

1718 Steakhouse is pretty cool for dinner and view of the Alamo.

Take the River Taxi up to the Pearl and there are plenty of options depending on your taste for different types of food. Or you can walk up that way, it's a little hike, but a time killer and nice stroll.

South Town is also a little bit of a walk or short uber ride. Also lots of good choices (like Bliss mentioned before).

Mi Tierra is a pretty popular restaurant a short walk west from the Riverwalk. Pretty good margaritas and just a good atmosphere, IMO. Yeah, it's "touristy," but that doesn't mean it's not a fun place to go.

For breakfast or brunch, I would highly recommend The Guenther House.

If you want to try a novelty, then the 3 pound cinnamon roll at Lulu's Bakery just might be up your alley. Other than that, it's typical diner food that's pretty good. Locals probably know better places.

There is tons of stuff to do and see in that area. Look up the San Antonio current for stuff going on this weekend.

Not up for Naked Girls Reading? Wish that was the name of a band but it is literally naked girls reading a book on stage.

Which book are they reading? It makes a difference, you know.

For a unique queso head to Mexican Manhattan and get an order of Chili Con Queso and a margarita.\ or a cold beer and enjoy. It's just around the corner from the Esquire Tavern.
