Thanksgiving Day in San Antonio is mixture of history, culture, thanksgiving and wonder. When you stay at the Elderhostel Hotel and book their three-day "The
San Antonio River Walk" tour package you will benefit from a guided tour conducted by a local professor and author who will delight you with Texas history. You will step back in time to experience the
Alamo, only a remarkable 18 steps from this historic landmark hotel. Talk a walk backwards in time to 1800's life at
Mission San Jose.
For Thanksgiving Day lunch why not try the menu at the historic Menger Hotel, including traditional dishes and local southern favorites.
No Thanksgiving Day in San Antonio is complete without barging along the San Antonio River listening to the recount of the River Walk's rich history.
You can also attend a private musical presentation of Texas history circa 1821 — 1865, where you will follow the history of the Texas cowboy in an interactive milieu hosted by the
Institute of Texan Culture.
If you are considering branching out on your own, although there is no shopping available on Thanksgiving in San Antonio, the avid shopper can still benefit by visiting the outlet malls in neighboring San Marcos.
Still, the hub of activity will be located on the
Riverwalk, or for a change of venue, why not have a European style lunch at award winning
Crumpet's Restaurant and Bakery at 3920 Harry Wurzbach, Crumpet's will offer you a dinning experience you will never forget. You can enjoy the traditional Thanksgiving fare of roasted turkey and baked ham with Stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, fresh green beans and cranberry sauce, or chose from another main course selection.
