I highly recommend you pick up the new edition “100 things to Do in San Antonio Before You Die, 2nd Edition,” by author Denise Richter. Her fun, quirky guide will connect you to San Antonio and help you be a know-it-all (in a good way) with your friends and a super-tour guide to your visitors. From breakfast tacos and museums to green space and celebrations this book has it all!
