Things To Do
Stiles Switch BBQ
Many contenders are vying for Austin's best barbecue, but this one is Mikey's favorite.
Cuantos Tacos
In our humble opinion, these are the best Mexican street tacos you can get.
The White Horse
This is the best spot in town for two-steppin'!
South Congress
South Congress has a little bit of everything. It's the perfect hub for all your shopping, eating, drinking, and sightseeing adventures.
The Continental Club
Historic live music venue with shows every night of the week.
Fleet Coffee
Grab a coffee at Fleet, then order some breakfast tacos next door at La Santa Barbacha, and while you're at it, pop in Howdy's vintage store. All three share an outdoor patio space.
Haymaker
Saturday is game day in Austin! We (mostly Laura, but sometimes Mikey) love cheering on the Longhorns at Haymaker. Hook 'em!
Matt's El Rancho
An Austin staple, Matt's is your quintessential Tex Mex spot. Order a Knockout and a Bob and thank us later.
Lady Bird Lake Trail
This 10-mile walking and biking trail loops around Lady Bird Lake, which bisects the city. The westernmost part of the trail, between MoPac and the Pfluger bridge, is Laura's favorite part, and the Riverside boardwalk is a close second. If you want to hit the water, there are several spots along the trail where you can rent a paddleboard or kayak.
Barton Springs
This spring-fed pool stays between 68 and 70 degrees year-round. You can find us here any weekend.
Lazarus Brewing Co.
Mainly a brewery, but they also serve coffee and food. Parents, this one is kid-friendly! There are two locations, but the one on Airport Blvd. has a playground and a big patio for running around.
Lin Asian Bar + Dim Sum
The Felix family has celebrated many birthdays and graduations at Lin. Go for brunch or dinner, but whatever you do, get the soup dumplings!
