For an elegant lunch on a budget, stop by Porch Café for one of their excellent small plates. Options include watermelon and shrimp, fried green tomatoes, kimchi medley, pork crostinis, Cajun beach balls (that’s meatballs with grits and peach BBQ sauce) and more — all for $12 or less.
Pay a visit to The Bryan Museum, where visitors will find exhibits dedicated to the art and history of the American Southwest. Exhibits feature artifacts from the Mexican-American War, Mexican Revolution, Spanish Colonial period and artwork from the Renaissance period onward. Adult tickets are $10.
Spend the evening on Galveston’s historic Pleasure Pier, where you can find an array of amusement rides, boardwalk games, shops and food. Admission is only $10 and you can pay for individual ride tickets once on the pier.
