For many of you, this is one of your first times in Austin - so here are some of our favorite places to eat, places to go, places to watch college football, and places to buy cowboy boots.

Matt's El Rancho

2613 South Lamar Boulevard, Austin, TX 78704

1st (Carolina) or 2nd (Cole) best tex mex, #1 tex mex experience (Carolina and Cole agree) - no reservations allowed, get there early, it is worth it

La Piscina

600 West 2nd Street, Austin, TX 78701

#1 (Cole) or 'very good but I don't like cheese and it's very cheese forward' (Carolina) tex mex

Tiny Boxwoods Austin

1503 West 35th Street, Austin, TX 78703

really fantastic brunch, remarkably high quality chocolate chip cookies

Terry Black's Barbecue

1003 Barton Springs Road, Austin, TX 78704

true Texas BBQ - a must visit for non-vegetarians, and a great place to stop being vegetarian

Loro Asian Smokehouse & Bar

11601 Domain Drive, Austin, TX 78758

Texas BBQ x Asian fusion

Zilker Metropolitan Park

Austin, TX 78746

very good park

South Congress

jump in the water, be brave in the cold, extreme cold plunge (something Carolina would never do, Cole has done too many times)

Tecovas

1500 South Congress Avenue, Austin, TX 78704

for guests who this is your first time in Austin, or Texas, or in the South - this is the place to get your first pair of cowboy boots (Cole's are from here and he unironically wears them very often)

Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium

2139 San Jacinto Boulevard, Austin, TX 78712

Cole is supposed to say the University of Texas will have just won a game in the College Football Playoff the night before the wedding

Lady Bird Lake

Austin, TX

good for walking, there are bats under a bridge that come out at sunset

Texas Capitol

1100 Congress Avenue, Austin, TX 78701

taller than the US Capitol

Four Seasons Hotel Houston

1300 Lamar Street, Houston, TX 77010
