Looking for something a little different than Riverwalk fare? Stop in for brunch or dinner at Miss Ricky’s before you head out, then join us 26 floors up for a post-stroll nightcap at Cerise Rooftop.
Get on the water with pier fishing, kayaking, or boat tours. Plan the perfect date night with a museum or winery visit followed by al fresco, river-side dining. Regardless of the occasion, don’t miss out on the public art throughout the pedestrian trail, including Art on theMART – the largest video-projection art installation in the world.
