There’s never a dull moment in Downtown Austin, which is why Mayor Kirk Watson calls it “Austin’s living room.”It wasn’t always the bustling city center that it is today — it’s been a goal of Watson’s to revitalize Downtown since he first took office in 1997. These days, Downtown is under constant development and ~139,000 people walk through Austin’s living room every day. The nickname begs the question: If Downtown is Austin’s living room, what does that make the rest of the city?

Hey y’all, City Editor Figi here. As much as I love the Capital City, sometimes you just have to get out of town, and San Antonio is a great place to go. I recently spent a weekend in the Alamo City, which is roughly 80 miles south of Austin. With the help of a resident friend and SATXtoday, I filled my time with some fantastic spots that I want to share. I can’t start my day without something to drink, and Pullman Market delivered.
