Ready for another San Antonio brunch recommendation???
This time we are moving a little deeper into Downtown San Antonio with Rosella’s at the Rand. If you live in San Antonio, you might have heard of this little café, since they have a few locations. And while all the locations are pretty good, today I’m going to focus on their newest location in the historic Rand building.
Let’s Rodeo San Antonio!
If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that this is my favorite time of the year! Here in Texas, there are rodeos in San Antonio, Austin, Dallas/Ft Worth and Houston. I still haven’t been to the one in DFW, but I’ve been to all the others at least once! And since I live in San Antonio now, I’ve been going to that one for the past couple of years.
This past weekend, I took my family to their first San Antonio rodeo and they loved it! If you’ve never been, let me give you a little break down on what goes on. Each rodeo ticket comes with a concert and entry into the fairgrounds.
As y’all might know by now, I love brunch! Bae knows I love brunch as well, so whenever he hears or tries out a new place, he knows to let me know and eventually take me! He knew immediately that I would love this place: CommonWealth!
Y’all, my first thought of this place was, “Oh.em.gee. this place is so cute!” then it was, “Wow, it’s really busy…” I don’t know about y’all, but for me, if a place is busy or hard to get reservations to, you know it’s gonna be good! And CommonWealth did not disappoint!
I am very picky when it comes to food. Unless I absolutely hate a place, I will give the restaurant two to three tries before I make a permanent judgement of it, but more so if I want to write a review of the place for y’all. Also, because I like to try their different plates.
Today I’ll be reviewing a place that is just a five minute drive from the Pearl: Grayze on Grayson.
Did I tell y’all that I’m taking a trip to Spain and Portugal at the end of the summer? I know, very exciting! It’ll be my first time in Europe. I can hardly wait! And I guess San Antonio must have know because they’ve actually brought a piece of Spain to the Pearl!
Running from June 16- September 16, the Pearl will be hosting a number of events featuring gastronomy, music & dance, and art & architecture straight from Spain! Some events are free, others have a fee, but there is something for everyone!
Another weekend, another great trip! This time to my favorite city: Austin, TX!
I actually lived here for 5 years when I was going to school at Austin Community College and got my Associates in Meeting and Event Planning as well as in Hospitality Management. Austin is truly the best city for that! I’ve been away for about 3 years now and it’s crazy how much its grown! However, somehow Austin still keeps its charm.
Here’s how our trip went
June is already gearing up to be a busy month! Summer school has started for me, but everyone else is off meaning there’s tons of summer events going on! From games, to birthdays and holidays, I’ll be on the road almost every weekend of June!
This past weekend I hit the road and went to Houston, TX! Here’s a recap on what we did, where we ate, where we stayed and how we got around.
Did you know that San Antonio has their own baseball team? When I found out, going to a game quickly became one of the top things I wanted to do in San Antonio. And then I heard about Bark in the Park, an event where you get to bring your dog to the game. And I knew that day was gonna be the day I watched a San Antonio Missions game!
Full disclaimer, I don’t really like breakfast. I don’t know, just something about it. I would usually order something off the lunch menu when going out to eat in the mornings. But then I found out about brunch and my whole life changed. Cheesy I know, but it’s true love.
And then there’s the Pearl in San Antonio. Since the first time I went to the Pearl I fell in love with it. And with my boyfriend living so close to it, it became a place we went often. And good thing, because it’s where I have found some of my favorite brunch spots!
What a weekend! I sure am glad to be back in SA after a weekend trip to Arlington, TX. I got to attend my first MLB game and got to check out Six Flags Over Texas while I was there! They are literally 0.6 miles away from each other. Check out my review below
