I'll be attending as a delegate.
The Spaghetti Factory might be a good choice. It's a little East of the Convention Center. Has parking, and a decent size bar. Moderate prices.
The River Walk cafes/restaurants will be crowded, even without a convention in town. Whether the ambience is worth the wait is up to you all.
There are some fairly good small restaurants along South Alamo. Added attraction is, "First Friday," San Antonio's contribution to reviving an 60's "East Village" atmosphere. You can almost inhale the time warp.
El Mercado of course has Mi Tierras, Margaritas, etc. close to there is also Pico De Gallo's. All about a ten block bus ride.
River Center Mall which is in the neighborhood, (one Block) has a decent restaurant complex. Better than a "food court" since they are actually restaurants.
Looking forward to seeing you.
The Convention Center is at 200 E Market St, San Antonio, TX.
The somewhat indirect driving route seems to be about a mile, so it should take less than 15 minutes to walk there(about 0.5-0.7 miles). We will be driving, so we can take a few folks.
Anyone up for this?
Thanks for the suggestion, rock58seg.
