You’ve got a big presentation due… and a big pile of laundry taunting you. We get it — working from home can be a mixed blessing. There are days when a change of scenery is a must if you’re going to get anything done. The good news? Research shows that tackling your tasks al fresco actually helps boost productivity.

Finding places to work in restaurants and cafes in the Alamo City was at the top of our to-do list, so can we just say, “Check?”

News Notes
Announced
  • Copa Wine Bar & Tasting Room announced one of its favorite menu items, the Pomme Frites, will be taken off the menu at the end of the month. Stop by before Friday, May 31 to try these crispy, house-made Belgian-style fries served with two in-house dipping sauces.
Plan Ahead
Seasonal
  • The South Texas heat may have gotten the best of us over the weekend. No worries, we got y’all covered this summer. We know 16 of the best spots to stay cool in the Alamo City and just outside the 210, like the Plaza San Antonio Hotel & Spa or the splash pad in Hemisfair.
Eat
  • Need lunch plans? Check out the newest downtown eatery — Smash’d. This restaurant features smashed burgers, chicken burgers, and California-styled burritos. See this preview of the Wake & Bacon Smash’d Burger with a side of seasoned fries.
Finance
  • If you spent your whole Sunday reorganizing your closet, here’s another spring cleaning suggestion: Move your credit card debt. This card offers 0% interest on a balance transfer until nearly 2026. That’s almost two years to pay off your balance, sans interest. Plus, you’ll earn 2% cash back on purchases.*
     
    The Buy

    A Going membership, so you’ll get emailed when flights are 40-90% off — like a $166 flight to Cancun or a $260 flight to Paris (yes, those prices are legit). We like the two-week free trial of the Premium plan, which includes international flight deals and custom destination alerts.

    From the editor
    A place I recently worked at outside was downtown at the recently-opened Hops N Hounds during one of our Fiesta medal giveaways. The day was a little windy but absolutely beautiful and it went well with an ice cold Shiner. The doggos running around were the cutest distraction while finishing up the newsletter.
