Jordan & Robert
Things To Do
Veracruz All Natural
You can try Robert's favorite place for breakfast tacos, or...
Tacodeli
...Jordan's favorite breakfast Tacos. Or better yet, try them both!
Juan in a Million
We are the Taco capital of the world, so we had to add just one more! This was one of Robert's favorites since he was a UT student.
Black's Barbecue Austin
Early in the relationship, we took a meandering trip through the Hill Country (first of many) that ended in San Marcos for BBQ. The trip is a little too long to hit up that exact BBQ location, but luckily there is one in Austin. Black's is famous here in Austin!
The Salt Lick BBQ
This is about a 30 min Uber from Downtown to Hill Country but if you are coming in on Friday, it is definitely an experience. They have live music on the weekends and also have a wine cellar. If you miss your chance to make it out to Driftwood don't worry there's a Salt Lick location in the Austin Airport.
Loro
The brainchild of Aaron Franklin, the BBQ King, and Tyson Cole, of Uchi fame, Loro is an Asian-inspired smokehouse that is great for groups, big and small. This is restaurant holds a special place in our hearts and we go there all of the time. They don't take reservations, but time flies when you are enjoying good company and a gin & tonic slushie in their outdoor bar and garden!
Via 313 Pizza
One of Jordan's favorite pizza places because it reminds her of home!
Fareground Austin
Get a taste of all of Austin's best food from Chinese to Israeli food.
Rowing Dock
One of Jordan and Robert's favorite things to show out of towners.
University of Texas at Austin
Walk around the beautiful UT campus where Robert went to college. You can even try to score tickets to the first football game of the season.
South Congress
Visit one of Austin's most iconic streets and check out some great shops (no surprise one of Jordan's favorite places in Austin).
Congress Avenue Bridge
Visit the Congress Avenue Bridge at dusk and watch millions (yes millions) of bats fly out.
Barton Springs Municipal Pool
Visit this gorgeous pool with amazing city views and an incredible salamander preserve! Robert loves to jump in here (or is forced to by his friends) after a morning run and Jordan even braved it for her first (and last) polar bear plunge. It's even free before 8 a.m.
Lady Bird Lake Trail
Time to walk off all the pizza, beer and tacos that Austin has to offer? Take a stroll around the Lady Bird Lake hike and bike trail. You might even get a chance to run with Robert!
Mount Bonnell
Visit Mount Bonnell for the best view in Austin, overlooking downtown, Lake Austin and into the Hill Country. The lookout point is up a steep staircase, but is worth the exercise!
