Up-and-coming food truck park. Typically a good night spot with two or three food trucks. It’s BYOB so hit the ZipTrip on your way over. Check their Facebook “The Rose Bush” for trucks that day

A culinary experience for sure, this spot is a little more expensive but offers stuff you wouldn't typically get. Venue is unbelievable, as it’s in a restored warehouse.

What I would call “winter bitch” food. Lots of awesome sandwiches, soups, salads, and of course tea. Right in Southtown in an old house. Great atmosphere and rarely busy.

Slightly more upscale version of Madhatter’s. I would submit the food is better, especially their macaroons. You gotta get the macaroons, man.

Sightseeing
I mean, come on. The Tower of the Americas is one of the main places people visit when coming to town. Pay a few bucks and take the elevator to the top.

Drinks
The menu leans heavily on classic European spirits. If you go — and you should — bring your frilliest folding fan. The windows of that historic home may be wide open during your visit even on toasty Texas nights.
