u/AmazingCat12 queried: Where are the best Alamo City paths for running, hiking, or biking?

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.
