We had an incredible time with Emzy as he took us through some historical places around Alamo Plaza. The Menger Hotel was beautiful and historic and its stories were amazing but I must say our favorite site was the St. Anthony hotel. Emzy is an entertaining guide with a wealth of knowledge from passionate research. He provides the stories, and can back each one up with photos and articles from the past. Truly fascinating stuff! And the cocktails were delicious!
