Things To Do
Amy's Ice Creams
Various locations -- an Austin ice cream fave. Highly recommend Mexican Vanilla!
The Salt Lick BBQ
Another topic of debate, but Alex's favorite BBQ
Barton Springs
A large spring-fed pool in downtown Austin. Great place to cool off from the Texas heat!
Easy Tiger Beer Garden & Bakery
Multiple locations around Austin-- great pastries for breakfast and great place for a beer in the evening!
Polvo's Downtown Central
Some of the best Tex-Mex in Austin! Each location is great, but this one is near the new public library downtown.
Veracruz All Natural
While a highly contested topic, these are Alex's favorite breakfast tacos
Jester King Brewery
Alex's favorite brewery
Via 313 Pizza
Our favorite pizza in Austin. Detroit-style pizza.
Bird Bird Biscuit
Great breakfast biscuits near the University of Texas, and a regular spot for Chris during his law school days.
Texas Capitol
Beautiful grounds worth exploring in between downtown Austin and the University of Texas.
Violet Crown Cinema
Downtown movie theater typically showing indie films
Lady Bird Lake Trail
Probably most enjoyable in the morning of evening, hop on the trail anywhere for a walk next to Lady Bird Lake for some people watching and fresh air
Paddleboarding on Town Lake
Stand Up Paddle Boarding -- might be an ideal time to lose your balance
Allens Boots
If your wardrobe is a little lacking
