Things To Do
South Congress
South Congress is a very classic Austin area - it has "the" graffiti spot, The Salty Donut (Julia's favorite donut spot), Torchy's Tacos, Home Slice Pizza, and lots of weird shops.
Rainey Street
Rainey street is a street / neighborhood in downtown Austin that is a good place to go out in the evening. We celebrated our 2 year anniversary at Geraldines.
East 6th
East 6th is a vastly better experience than it's west-side counterpart. Good cocktail bars, breweries, dive bars, and restaurants. We love Whistlers for cocktails and Canje for some amazing food!
Zilker Park
Assuming the weather is nice, Zilker Park is a a great spot to just hang out, have a picnic, and enjoy the view of the city.
Desnudo Coffee
Get the their specialty lattes or their rotating cold brew
Terry Black's Barbecue
Franklin's is probably the best brisket in Austin, but Terry Black's is the best BBQ spot in terms of the overall experience. Very good BBQ, tons of yummy sides, and plenty of seating.
De Nada Cantina
Simple and delicious tacos and margaritas with that weird Austin vibe. This is a great place for an easy dinner.
Torchy's Tacos
Torchy's is a taco chain that started in Austin, so there are a few locations around town. They specialize in wacky, creative, over-flowing tacos. We love the fried avocado and baja shrimp tacos, and we always get the queso.
