Hooray for a holiday weekend!  Sometimes it takes a long weekend to get us locals to get downtown. Folks travel from all over the world to visit our beautiful RiverWalk so why should we enjoy it too.

Boudro’s is probably the most popular restaurant on the river with both tourists and locals alike. Their famous prickly pear margarita is perfect this time of year along with a heaping order of their famous tableside guacamole.

The Fig Tree in the evening is also lovely with its view of the Arnesan River Theater and its large shady patio. And Paesanos fans, you can still get your fill of their famous Shrimp Paesano on the Riverwalk too.

If you’re staying in, I’ve got all kinds of cold drink ideas and great grilling recipes at Goodtaste.tv.
