More Than Sushi at Sushi Zushi
This restaurant is the place to dine when you want to stay close to the River Walk but escape the crowds. Sushi Zushi highlights traditional Japanese dishes, but the most fun ones combine local flavors, such as cilantro and jalapeños, with traditional Asian ingredients. The San Antonio Roll ($10) wraps crabmeat in salmon and cucumber and is topped with a spicy sauce. The Toreado Roll ($10), made with crab, scallops, and avocado, is served warm. The Texas Roll ($8.50) features roast beef, of course. If you're not in the mood for sushi, try the rice and noodle dishes, which are flavorful and beautifully presented. 203 South St. Mary's Street; (210) 472-2900. Hours: 11:30 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 11:30 a.m.-11 p.m Friday, 12:30-11 p.m. Saturday, 5-9 p.m. Sunday.

Have a Seat at The Davenport
Not hungry, but still want to stop for a rest? Then try The Davenport, a cool lounge with a retro feel. The glass walls facing the street are perfect for watching passersby. Both locals and visitors alike gather here for conversation. Bartenders are on hand to mix anything to your liking, from the classics to refreshing watermelon martinis. 200 East Houston Street; (210) 354-1202. Hours: 2 p.m.-2 a.m. Monday-Saturday, 6 p.m.-2 a.m. Sunday.
