TGIF :)

Everybody counts down the days until Friday comes around. Its the perfect time to relax listen to music, just get a good start to the weekend. Its the perfect time to unwind from all the work and learning of the week and just be happy. San Antonio, on the first friday of every month knows exactly what to do to help the relaxing process.

First Friday takes place in the King Williams Area of Downtown San Antonio, starts on Presa St. and continues through the smaller streets of the area. The event highlights different people from the city presenting their different forms of art. The area offices which function during the day, turn in to art galleries for different artist. Street corners turn into stages for musicians, and the streets become markets when different sellers come with original products turning the event into a fun event for all ages. Not only does the art here at this event draw in crowds, but the food is something to rave about as well. There are several food stands through out the streets which serve food like funnel cakes, roasted corn, sausage and authentic San Antonio Tacos! 

If your looking for a more formal meal rather than walk and dine approach, there are several well known restaurants in the area. Rosario's is one of the most popular Mexican restaurants in the city and with its fun atmosphere, it is a great place to grab dinner on First Friday. On the occasion of First Friday, the place is filled with live music, latin dancing, drink specials( for those 21 and older sorry) and a great dinner menu. The aesthetic of the restaurant with its Latin Art filled walls, will help set the mood for the rest of the evening and the art to be experienced throughout First Friday. 

If your not looking for a full meal and maybe just a sweet treat, Bubblehead Tea Lounge is the place to be. They provide Asian coffee, tea, hookah and infamous Bubble tea in many flavors. On First Friday it is very likely to find some sort of live music whether it be an up and coming singer/songwriter or an aspiring DJ, the music is enjoyable. 

The atmosphere is very relaxing and the people are friendly, it can be and enjoyable way to end the evening after walking the streets of First Friday.

First Friday is a new and different experience for anyone visiting or even San Antonio natives. Its many different aspects will have you coming back every month! :)
