Things To Do
Lady Bird Lake Trail
An amazing running and walking trail right in the center of the city. You can also rent kayaks and SUP boards by the hour at the rowing dock.
Texas BBQ
A few of our favorites listed below: *Note a few of these will have wait times, so good to dedicate a few hours - Micklethwait Craft Meats - Terry Blacks - La Barbeque - LORO (barbecue / Asian fusion) - Franklin BBQ (get there early in the a.m. as there is a line and they can run out) - The Salt Lick (a bit of a drive outside of the city but great food, live music and BYOB)
Butler Park Pitch & Putt
Heaven according to Will Daoust. A 9-hole par pitch 'n putt course with no dress code and very few rules. BYOB, pack a speaker and have the best day ever!
