Students enrolled in Palo Alto College’s COMM 2315: News Reporting and Writing II class will spend 10 whirlwind days (May 19-28, 2012) in Washington, D.C., and New York City.

Before heading out to tweet about two of America’s most fabulous cities (and blog post-adventure), the students spent time in their own backyard, San Antonio’s South Side, to report on the San Antonio missions and nearby dining establishments.

Here’s the inside scoop on where to eat before or after you visit San Antonio’s historic treasures!
