About downtown Brownsville and the historic district. Enjoy a short walk down Palm Boulevard to local restaurants. If you're craving Italian, try La Scala where you can bring your own wine; Lola's Bistro for delicious American food with an inviting back patio overlooking one of Brownsville's many resacas; and Spanky's Hamburgers or Rutledge Burger Joint for a casual meal. We're just blocks from the historic downtown Brownsville that features nightlife with live music and great restaurants. Dodici is one the best spots for pizza featuring a classic brick pizza oven and a wonderful wine selection, definitely a must!   Enjoy one of Brownsville's up and coming restaurants like Las Ramblas, Terras Dodicci and more. The Library bar and the historic Palm Lounge bar and grill are great places to meet up with friends. From great coffee to great music, El Hueso de Fraile is an artsy find.
