Look out for the peacocks!
Miles of hiking, biking, swimming holes and dozens of entrances scattered throughout Central Austin.
Hands down best tacos in town. Try the fish, chicken mole or any of the breakfast tacos (especially the migas)
Likely our favorite restaurant in town. Locally-sourced small plates and cocktails, often a religious experience
Another contender for our favorite Austin restaurant. Peerless take on fine interior Mexican with a creative twist, with fantastic mezcal cocktails. Chef Rick Lopez will do you right.
Incredible pizza place that brews their own beer. Try The Bright Light Social Hour IPA!
Chic, joyous, "underground' French restaurant that spins vinyl and serves til very late. Escargot, steak frites, tartare and excellent wines. "If you think you've gone too far, keep going."
Incredible burgers with quick counter service and good draft beer selection. Ahi tuna, Impossible Meat, veggie burger and gluten free options available
Funky, delicious vegan spot. Shea desperately wishes she could still eat the veggie burger .
Grungy bar with good brunch, lunch and drinks on a shaded outdoor patio
Excellent fine cocktails
Jim Eno from Spoon's favorite cocktail spot
Amazing queer bar with live music outdoors and dance parties inside
Jack's favorite live music hangout. Often psychedelic garage rock, but can be hip hop, country or anything and cover is often very cheap
Country live music bar with a bizarre mix of seasoned two-steppers and Lone Star-drinking hip kids. Where Shea discovered Jack loves stepping on her feet on their 2nd date.
Good live music spot on South Congress, often country or folk but music varies widely, check their website to see what's up
