Things To Do
Barton Creek Greenbelt
We love hiking and this is one of the best and most popular hikes in Austin. It's loaded with places to swim but also pretty long if you're looking for a good hike!
Cidercade Austin
Owned by Bishop Ciders, this is an arcade where you pay 10 dollars for unlimited games! It's family-friendly during the day and has a lot of delicious ciders and seltzers made by Bishop on tap! The pizza is also delicious and it overlooks the lake! I honestly think time stops here cause every time we go were there for like 4 hours.
85°C Bakery Cafe - Austin Airport
85c has a bunch of delicious Korean pastries and drinks, it's also located in an Asian shopping center with various food options! Carin loves their Tiger Boba Lattes and we both really like their Matcha Chocolate buns.
Rainey Street Historic District
Think of this like 6th street, but cleaner. Rainey Street has a lot of food and bar options so you're bound to find something you like.
6th Street
Now if you want a crazy story about how you lost a shoe, or how you and your friend almost got ran over walking to your car– go to 6th. It's a street FULL of bars, but beware, if you hate college students, this is where they all come!
Jo's Coffee
Home of the "I love you so much" wall! Other than that, Carin loves Jo's Iced Turbos and is a good go-to if you're looking for a quick coffee and some breakfast tacos.
Austin Eastciders Barton Springs - Restaurant
MY FAVORITE DRINK OF ALL TIME!!!! - Carin. Come to their Barton Springs location for a good atmosphere, great hard cider, and delicious food! Ugh, I love it here so much. - Carin again
Barton Springs Municipal Pool
One of the crown jewels of Austin! It's a 3 acre pool made with natural water. Fun!
South Congress
I LOVE SOCO. Basically a giant strip of road with shops and restaurants. Also home to my favorite ice cream shop, Jeni's <3
Wonderspaces Austin
A super fun interactive art museum!
Austin Central Library, Austin Public Library
One of the nicest libraries you will ever go to, located in downtown ATX!
Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams
MY HEART AND SOUL. I will never love anything more than I love Jeni's. I'm sorry, but I just love this place so much. - Carin
The Salty Donut
Have we noticed that all Carin's favorite things are on Congress? TRY THESE DONUTS. I'm serious. They changed our lives.
