The DoSeum just down Broadway is great as well if you’ve got younger children. Chris Madrid’s is good, but if you’re looking for another burger spot, Biff Buzby’s is fantastic.

Second the Pearl! Especially if you go on Saturday during the market, it’s a lot of fun! Hotel Emma is there (if you want to stay), and it’s adorable, if pricey.

I agree with all of that. I haven’t been the Pearl since they started to transform it a few years ago. It was a little on the sparse side then, but I hear it’s great now.

Viva Fiesta, y’all. I love that dumb celebration (it really is a fun couple of weeks). San Antonio has grown obviously, but it’s actually surprising how little it’s changed in terms of always feeling like a smaller city and not the humongous sprawl that it is.

Dude was in phenomenal shape for 82, but time catches up with all of us.

Same here - I was never big into wrestling, although I went through a phase where I was obsessed with the regional stuff like the AWA, Mid-South and the Von Erich group in Texas. I think I remember him on this back in the day in NY:

Bruno was a class act, a favorite son here in Pittsburgh, and the next Italian Day in Bloomfield is going to be that much smaller without him.

A pro wrestler living to 82 is like 150 for a regular person.
