San Antonio's arts and bohemian neighbourhood, a few blocks south of downtown along South Alamo Street. A mix of art galleries, independent restaurants, vintage shops, and bars in low-slung buildings, with the ornate San Fernando Cemetery and the Blue Star Arts Complex anchoring the southern end. The neighbourhood has a distinctly local feel — less touristic than the River Walk, more creative than the Pearl.
The Blue Star Arts Complex is the focal point: a former industrial building housing galleries, studios, a brewery, and restaurants. First Friday brings the neighbourhood alive on the first Friday of each month. During the day, wander South Alamo for coffee, tacos, and gallery browsing; the neighbourhood is easily walkable from downtown.
