This is where Cooper and I met for the first time. On Sunday afternoons they have live music outside!
Directly across from Gueros there is Homeslice Pizza. You can go inside or order at the window. We love the cheese and pepperoni and the greek salad. Their garlic knots are yummy too but you're gonna have to work on yo breath.
Local bar thats within walking distance from our apartment. They have a food truck outside- Luke's Inside Out and we think its the best cheeseburger in town.
Within walking distance from our apartment (opposite way of Gibson) thats a fun little dive spot with a BBQ food truck outside and lots of TVs.
great fajitas and frozen margaritas (be careful!!!)
On our street and a regular stop for us. Coop loves the quesadillas and they are huge!
No frills breakfast taco to go. The bacon, egg and cheese is next level.
There's the truck behind Craft Pride (beer bar) on Rainey Street or a brick and mortar on the way out to the venue on 290. Its deep dish pizza and it is out of this world.
There are several around the city and one next to the Via313 on the way out to the venue (balance) but its the best local smoothie/juice place. Cooper likes the Honey Beary and Collyn likes the Peachy Green, Junglelilly, Wild Child (its so cute), Hawaii Five (add mint)...basically everything. Oh, the Recovery Punch and Rehydrator are both good at their jobs ;)
Coopers favorite BBQ in town. He gets the brisket, mac n cheese, and cream corn.
Because Cooper insists. This is the uncute kind of dive bar. Two pool tables, usually a lady selling tamales, and heavy handed bartenders. This was the second location on our first date...maybe it was a test....but it was a fun one.
Since you're going to be out this way its a great stop. Tons of outdoor seating, a giant bbq pit, live music and BYOB. Its the perfect way to spend an afternoon. They also have wine and beer for sale. Ask if they have any specialty sides- those are always worth it. Its cash only!
This is a trial that goes around Lady Bird Lake right in the middle of town. You can make it as short or as long as you want but its a wonderful way to see the city and get a feel for why we love it so much.
There are tons of paddleboard companies but this one is probably most central. You can walk from the Lady Bird Trail or park on the street between the lake and Austin High School. You can rent paddleboards, kayaks, or canoes by the hour or all day (best value), bring a cooler and hang out on the water in the middle of the city. Its the kind of thing that makes people want to move here.
