Things To Do
Walk the Lady Bird Lake Trail
Grab a coffee and take a walk on the Lady Bird Lake Hike and Bike Trail, which is walking distance from the Marriott in Downtown Austin (walk across Congress Bridge). This 10 mile trail runs along Lady Bird Lake and features amazing views of the Austin skyline. You can also rent kayaks and paddle boards here as well (weather permitting of course).

Our favorites are: Torchy's Tacos, June's, Joann's Fine Foods, Cafe No Se, Two Hands, Jo's Coffee, Amy's Ice Cream. Best places to shop: Tecova's, Allen's Boots, Maurfais, Kendra Scott Flagship Store plus a few chain stores here as well - Lululemon, Nike, All Birds, Madewell, Alo Yoga etc.
Terry Black's Barbecue
Our favorite BBQ in Austin - hands down! Dustin and I love the brisket in particular, but you really can't go wrong. Terry Blacks is almost always busy and they do not take reservations, but the line does typically move pretty fast and is always worth the wait! Come hungry!
Eat at Loro
Loro is an Asian meets TX restaurant brought to you by James Beard Award winners, Chef Tyson Cole of Uchi and Aaron Franklin of Franklin Barbecue. They have a super unique menu and an awesome outdoor patio. They do not take reservations but you can grab a drink while you wait. We recommend the beef brisket, pork belly, corn fritters and the frozen gin & tonic!
Get Tacos and Queson at Torchy's Tacos
There are many places in Austin to get tacos but Torchy's is one of our favorites. We recommend going for breakfast tacos or a quick lunch. There are numerous locations throughout Austin.
Veracruz All Natural
Veracruz All Natural is also a great place to stop for Tacos!
