San Antonians are a lively bunch, and many locals find connections through Reddit, an online forum and news site filled with community, camaraderie, and helpful tips.
The subreddit r/sanantonio has multiple ongoing conversations — let’s answer some of its hottest questions.
u/HiketheSky wanted to know: Where can you volunteer in San Antonio?
We’re so glad you asked. Whether you’re an animal lover, artist, or philanthropist, there are countless opportunities in San Antonio to help others. Reddit users recommended the Center for Refugee Services, River Aid San Antonio, Musical Bridges Around the World, and more.
u/AmazingCat12 queried: Where are the best Alamo City paths for running, hiking, or biking?
Any of San Antonio’s amazing parks are a good place to start. Of course — Redditors to the rescue — users had their own top recommendations. Upvoted answers included Phil Hardberger Park, the Leon Creek Greenway, Eisenhower Park, and the San Antonio Riverwalk from the Pearl District southward.
u/Busy_Property10 asked: What restaurants have great flavor at great prices?
While you can always check out our Restaurant Roundup for new restaurants opening in San Antonio, Reddit users had great suggestions, too — ranging from Chas Market for delicious Korean food to Pollos Asados los Norteños, famous for its charcoal-grilled Northern Mexican-style chicken. Taqueria DataPoint‘s multiple locations were highly upvoted, too.
u/JarfalgarDLaw asked: Where can I find new women friends?
We get it. Finding friends as an adult is hard. Exploring groups related to your interests is a good start. Redditors recommended the upcoming San Japan anime + gaming convention coming to town Friday, Aug. 29 to Sunday, Aug. 31.
Visit local clubs like SATX Ladies or the San Antonio Book Lovers Club, or try networking events with the San Antonio Women’s Chamber of Commerce.
