Fun place to visit in Downtown Austin for regular shopping and touristy shopping.
If you're wanting to go bar hopping, East 6th (east side of I-35) would be a good option. We have been to a few places such as The Lucky Duck, Latch Key and Kitty Cohen's. We used to go to Rainey Street, but construction has made it less popular of a spot. You might want to avoid Dirty Sixth (west of I-35) unless you don't mind a little grime and potential crime!
