Strolling through an Art Museum is definitely a favorite past time of mine - as well as taking my camera along for the journey. And the McNay Art Museum did NOT disappoint! I can't wait to return with more time to see and capture even more! Sidenote, so much of this place reminded me of my youth in California - I think an annual pass is a must!

OH boy, was I delightfully surprised when I finally made it around the perimeter of the Pearl Brewery.  As of late, I had been confined to certain locations within the Pearl due to construction and renovations, but now I can roam more freely, and thank god for small miracles.  

Supper, located river-side at Hotel Emma, has the most charming patio area, as well as some of the most beautiful views at the Brewery.  Supper's menu looks innovative, intriguing and tantalizing, to say the least; enjoy any and all of it after grabbing a seat on the patio, the perfect spot for a leisurely brunch, before or after a morning stroll along the river. 

Larder, also at Hotel Emma, is one of those charming little grocery markets that preps your meal for you.  Whether you are dining in or taking it to go, your taste buds are in for a gastronomic treat! If you choose to sit outside at one of their little bistro tables, grab a cappuccino and pretend you are sitting curbside at a café in Paris (pretending is cheaper than a plane ticket).
