Get ready to mingle with creativity and munch on unique snacks this First Friday in San Antonio. According to San Antonio Report, the local art scene is bustling with Albert Alvarez's show at Un Grito gallery, where his "incisive" original drawings are sure to capture your imagination. The same area will also play host to the Novel Ideas Art Book Fair, a gathering of art book publishers and artisans, showcasing unique works from notable names like Mark Menjivar and Aztlan Libre Press.

On top of the visual feast, foodies have something to look forward to as well. On Monday evening, Panzones Lonches will be popping up to serve creatively loaded Doritos preparados at Roadmap Brewing. Pair these bold flavors with Roadmap's movie night selections, "Heavyweights" at 6 p.m. and "Dodgeball" at 8 p.m., to quickly turn an ordinary evening into an event to remember.

For those who have to consciously remind themselves to satiate their artful cravings along with their palates, then you're in luck. Novel Ideas Art Book Fair is taking place Friday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. at the Contemporary. Expect to be visually entranced and possibly walk away with a treasure or two. Also, don't miss Xelena Gonzalez and Jose Sotel Yamasaki's presentation on their new Lotería Remedios oracle cards at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday.

Ready to embrace a dash of nostalgia? San Antonio Report suggests to not to miss the chance to sit back at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Park North on Monday night and watch "Stranger Than Paradise", a Jim Jarmusch minimalist cult classic. Praised for its "delicate humor and dramatic nonchalance," the black-and-white film will throw you back to 1984, starting at 9:30 p.m.
