Great Tex Mex place to go if you want to feel like a local!

Great for a cold day!

Make sure to visit “the Ditch” for happy hour tacos and queso!

A bit of a drive from downtown Austin, but totally worth it! Grab some real Texas barbecue while you’re here!

Less of a drive and a newer but lesser known barbecue restaurant that lives up to its name.

Close to Lakeway, offers takeout and delivery if you just want to eat in!

Tex Mex on the lake, it should still be warm in November, so soak in some sun while you sit by the water

Get a cup of coffee at pretty cute coffee and walk a trail with beautiful plants, water features, and statues.

BYOB and play a round of mini golf at Peter Pan! It’s been around so long that Claire’s dad had his 6th birthday there!

Great museum to experience Texas history! Claire’s favorite exhibit is La Salle’s ship, the La Belle, rebuilt piece by piece in the museum!

Tour our gorgeous state capitol, located a couple blocks away from our wedding venue!

Head over to Broken Spoke to get in some two stepping and dance the night away!

Funky, Johnny Cash themed dive to get in some drinks. One of the last old Austin hold outs.

Bougie shopping, dining, and nightlife if you want a little more Dallas in your Austin!

A local icecream shop started in 1984 it’s an Austin favorite! Other fun icecream places include Lick (for funky flavors) and Bésame (for something more artisanal)

Located next to Hula Hut on Lake Austin, grab a coffee and a baked good and have a relaxing few hours by the water. Open late too!

Exhibits during November will include surrealism, Native America, as well as permanent exhibits.

An easy hike with a rewarding view at the highest point in the city. Would be great for a sunrise hike!

Excellent restaurant for sushi lovers! The staff and owners are a particular draw! Good for a light lunch or a romantic dinner

Claire’s birthday restaurant! She’s only skipped once in the past 9 years! Great Cajun food, abita beer and rootbeer, and live zataran and jazz bands in an eclectic, funky atmosphere
