The Neighborhood:
Dignowity Hill is currently undergoing a revitalization process, with investments currently reenergizing this historic neighborhood. Many houses are undergoing renovation while others are patiently waiting their turn. This community is a melting pot of diversity with all walks of life living in the area. We are a residential neighborhood tucked in a very urban and up-and-coming part of the city.
HISTORY
Dignowity Hill was San Antonio’s first upper-class residential suburb and is named after its first settler, Dr. Anthony Michael Dignowity, a physician and Czech immigrant. During the latter part of the nineteenth century, Dignowity Hill, as it became known, was home to prominent San Antonio merchants and business owners who constructed large estates. In the 1920’s the neighborhood consisted primarily of small Folk Victorian style houses and Craftsman Bungalows. Today, the neighborhood is a local historic district bounded by Sherman Street on the north, Commerce Street and Paso Hondo on the south, Palmetto Street on the east, and Cherry Street on the west, and is attracting millions of dollars’ worth of investment and a host of families and individuals that are delighted to call it home!
LOCAL FOOD FAVORITES
You must try the Burnt End Melt ($8) at Dignowity Meats on E. Houston Street, 1 minute walk from the house. This Dignowity Meats favorite is one of the primary reasons why patrons tend to snake around the outside ordering window during lunch service. “It probably sells at least five times better than any other sandwich on the menu,” owner Andrew Samia said of the sandwich. “We can run out of certain menu items and customers will understand, but that isn’t one of them.”
Hours: 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. (lunch), 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. (dinner) Mondays through Fridays. 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturdays, closed Sundays.
Another big recommendation is the Cherrity Bar, where you can not only enjoy a delicious meal (we recommend the asain noodle bowls!) part of the proceeds go to a charity of your chosing. They are open Tuesday-Friday from 11am to 10PM, on Friday they close at 12am, and Saturday they are open from 3pm to 12am.
Grab a yummy brunch at La Coronela Mexican Restaurant serves delicious Mexican food, open from 6am-3pm all days of the week except for Sunday when they open at 7:30am.
The fantastic "Panchos and Gringos" deli is on corner of N. Pine & Nolan Streets, and open from 7am-3pm serving deli food, breakfast & brunch.
Getting Around:
The house is situated in a very quiet downtown street, but a short walk away from busses, scooters and bike rentals. The house is a 25 minute walk, or a 5-minute uber/lyft ride from the convention center, the beautiful Pearl district and downtown San Antonio. For quality groceries, Central Market is a short Uber ride away.
