Things To Do
Perla's
One of Bailey and I's favorite restaurants ever! It's right across the street from South Congress Hotel. Make a reservation on OpenTable!
Lucky Robot
Amazing spot for sushi on South Congress Ave!
Cosmic Pickle
This is a super fun and cool beer garden that also has cocktails and amazing coffee. There are also food trucks! There is a second location that just opened up in East Austin as well, but this one is the original and is not far from South Congress Hotel!
Allens Boots
If you're in the market for cowboy boots, you have to stop at Allen's Boots on South Congress. This is an iconic store in Austin!
“I love you so much” Mural

Home Slice Pizza
Amazing spot for pizza on South Congress Ave! They have a walk up window on the street or sit down at the restaurant for great pizza!

This is where Rachel worked for three years during undergrad and the gap year between undergrad and law school. It's an awesome french restaurant with a great happy hour!

The Roosevelt Room
Upscale bar in downtown ATX!
Franklin Barbecue
Iconic BBQ spot, but make sure to get there before they sell out for the day!
West 6th Street
A great nightlife spot! In my opinion, this sure beats going out on dirty 6th. Don't get me wrong, dirty is iconic, but west 6th has better bars AND better music! I've linked a guide to the different sides of Austin's 6th street!
East 6th Street
East sixth is also a great spot for day drinking and night life! I've linked a guide to all the best spots on east!
Rainey Street
Another great spot for nightlife in the Rainey Street District!
