If you feel like getting a little touristy, you’re near The Alamo , the River Walk and the 750-foot-tall Tower of the Americas. The neighborhood is also bordered by The Alamo Quarry Market , which has a Whole Foods, a movie theater and more than 75 shops and restaurants. There’s also a Greyhound station Downtown.
