Neighborhoods
This is our favorite neighborhood in the city!
There isn’t a single chain store or restaurant, the houses are beautiful and modern, it’s built on the highest point in the city and the view of downtown (just a few blocks away) is spectacular. This is a historic neighborhood with a big Mexican American flair and history. Very authentic Mexican restaurants encompass the neighborhood, next to trendy restaurants, a few bars, local shops, a local bakery/bread shop, local coffee shop and hair salons. It’s walkable to downtown and crossroads neighborhoods.

The Saturday’s farmers market in river market is a must
This is so fun! Fresh flower vendors, fresh produce vendors, thrift clothing vendors, tons of local international food restaurants. Afterward, we recommend walking around the river market - head to the river for a great view, to Betty raes for ice cream, Kate and river market antiques for our favorite shopping spots. Hop on the street car and head to the crossroads for more shops and artist galleries!
