This is a short hike but a great way to get outdoors and look out over Lake Austin lined with stunning Westlake homes. Lake Austin is some of the most coveted space in the city of Austin. I suggest getting a morning coffee and taking a stroll.
Bring a towel or blanket and enjoy the outdoors with locals. You can enjoy the skyline with open space. If you do not like dogs, this is not your place! There will be sports, social gatherings and dogs roaming around.
You can start walking on the trail from many different directions. A lot of our friends start at Noble Joe's Coffee truck and take a loop. You can also start at Veracruz Tacos at the Line Hotel or even Manana coffee and start by crossing the pedestrian bridge! The trail loops around the Colorado River Downtown and stays busy as Austin is a very active city. It is a common activity to meet friends for a breakfast taco or coffee and go on a walk! You can customize how long you want to walk!
December Weather may not allow for a visit to Barton Springs but I highly recommend if you're back in Austin! It is a natural spring and a core Austin attraction.
My preferred Coffee stop on South Congress! You can order from a to-go window or sit down inside and order food as well.
Best option for Matcha on SOCO!
A great place for a brunch on South Congress!
Another great Brunch spot on South Congress!
Aba is an aesthetically pleasing Mediterranean restaurant that offers indoor and outdoor seating! You can make a reservation or walk in if you have a smaller party but it is a popular spot.
Pizza is great but I recommend the Italian Sub!!!!
Best Italian in Austin. Dinner only. Make a reservation in advance or wait in line at 5pm for an opening.
A solid live music venue on SOCO.
This is one of my favorite spots to meet a friend for coffee/tacos or to work from on a pretty day!
Truly one of the BEST restaurants and so unique! Dinner spot.
One of Margaret's favorite effortless spots. They have amazing Breakfast, lunch & dinner!
A casual Mexican spot that is also cute and fun! If you drink the margaritas, beware they are strong!
The Texas Hash is a repeated order. One of the best brunches in Austin! You need a reservation but they did open a second location so that may help you out.
One of the comfort foods we keep returning to. The breakfast burrito used to be our absolute favorite until the new chef started changing the potatoes but it is still amazing!
As an adult going out, East 6th is your oyster. Latchkey's slogan is "A daycare for adults" and it can get really fun!
This is a nice spot for people who want a drink and to chill! There will still be a DJ most nights (because it is Austin) outside, a great environment inside and outside. They offer natural wine and relaxed space for socializing.
3 story bar on the Eastside that is fun! This is a late night out spot.
Amazing Ramen if you want something warm.
Great Pizza spot!
Easy to walk in with a larger group!
Lounge/Cocktails in a restored house! An option for drinks on the west side.
One of the places West I would go with a couple friends who want to feel like they're in Paris and drink wine.
Great tacos if you want something easy!
This is in Brandon and I's neighborhood but the best (upscale) Mexican food in Austin! You will need a reservation or you can get lucky and walk in to sit in the atrium.
Best sushi. Uchi, Uchiko and Uchiba are said to be the best & they are good but this is better.
Asian fusion BBQ and more! Margaret doesn't like BBQ but loves this.
Great spot for good eats and fresh food! Order and sit down spot but no laptops allowed. Only eating, no working!
Best homemade cinnamon roll in Austin.
A very popular tourist attraction but for a reason! There is always a line.
More north in Brandon and Margaret's neighborhood but THE BEST BURRITO in Austin.
Eastside Crunch salad and the sandwiches are the best!
Great Italian but don't always need a reservation as in advance as Red Ash.
Healthy but good spot! West 2nd street area.
A more casual and healthy option! West 2nd street area.
