This is one of the bars that Matt owns. Start a fun night on Rainey Street by grabbing a tropical cocktail and people watching on the front patio. Jenny's favorite is the Rosa Mexicano and Matt's pick is the Idle Paloma.
Parlor and Yard is another bar that Matt owns. Situated on West 6th, you'll be close to lots of nightlife and the hustle of downtown. Jenny recommends The Yard and Matt recommends The Crash Kit.
This is a plant-based gastropub and it's also where we went on our first date!
Unfortunately for our wallets, Uchiko is very close to our home. It's the most phenomenal sushi you'll eat. Make a reservation to partake in an Austin staple.
Red Ash Italia is one of our favorite restaurants. Make sure you make reservations as this spot is very popular.
Aba has a beautiful patio space that you can enjoy during the lovely March temps. Make a reservation as soon as you can—this place books up far in advance.
South Congress is famous for its food and shopping. Check out Music Lane for pretty much any store that's been advertised to you on Instagram, like Reformation, Parachute, and Allbirds. There are also plenty of great restaurants in this area (Aba is one of our favorites) that would make for a full afternoon of activities. A little further south on this stretch, you can check out Maufrais to invest in a custom fitted hat.
Forget a clutch or your pocket square? The Domain is an outdoor mall that has plenty of stores to suit all your needs from J.Crew to Neiman Marcus. There are also many great restaurants like Culinary Dropout and Jinya Ramen. You can also check out Barton Square Mall, which is a traditional mall south of the city center.
Right in the heart of downtown, you can beat the heat by paddle boarding, kayaking, or taking a small retro boat around Lady Bird Lake.
Austin is close to many fantastic state parks. Pedernales has some great hikes and spots to take a dip in the water.
The Greenbelt offers many hiking and swimming spots that attracts many Austinites throughout the year. The Hill of Life is a nice, challenging hike that rewards you with cool dip in the water at the base. You can also check out several other spots on the Greenbelt for hikes of different levels of difficulty.
