  1. The seawall off Whitecap has a nice parking lot, restrooms, and showers to rinse off. No parking pass needed since you’re not parking on the beach. It’s a few hundred yards north of the old Holiday Inn and usually isn’t as crowded as north packery channel (JP Luby). Bob Hall pier has nice table, no parking pass required, and a nice little bar and grill on the pier.
  2. Lots of good recommendations here. I’m a fan of Pete’s Tako House, Garcia’s, Regio Cafe, El Milagrito, Taco Haven but I prefer Taqueria Chápala on McCulloch. La Fogata (near the north I-10 & 410 area) has great margaritas and enchiladas. Biga and Battalion are my favorite places downtown. At The Pearl: Il Sogno has great Italian; La Gloria has an interesting variety of Mexican dishes and good margaritas; The Granary has decent BBQ but relatively small portions. Down on Grayson is probably a good place if you have kids (outdoor seating with space). Grayze (on Grayson St. a few blocks east of The Pearl) is solid. Additional things: watch the bats come out from under the I-35 bridge at sunset (grab a drink or two from La Gloria, walk down to the Riverwalk and head south, grab a seat at one of the benches after the boatramp, enjoy*). *Unless the violinist is practicing; we saw about 20 bats compared to the thousands we saw the previous week.
