The Palm to honor Centro San Antonio Amigos in celebration of National Tourism Week
May 10, 2010
In
celebration of National Tourism Week, The Palm San Antonio will host the Centro
San Antonio Amigos for lunch in appreciation of their dedication to making
downtown a friendly destination for guests from near and far. While the Amigos are
invited to dine al fresco, they will be looked over by not only The Palm’s
attentive staff but the smiling “faces” of San Antonio’s leading businessmen,
politicians and celebrities whose caricatures line the restaurant’s famed
walls. Often called “the face of San
Antonio,” themselves, the workforce of more than 65
Amigos provide a host of services that improve downtown through the Ambassador,
Streetscaping, and Maintenance programs.
