Things to Do

Places to Visit in Austin

Below are places to visit and things to eat that Corey and Cassie recommend in Austin to help plan your trip!

Visit Zilker Park

Metropolitan park right across the river from Downtown Austin. Great view of the riverfront, acres of green grass and fields, and more dogs than you could ever pet. P Terry’s burger stand is right down the road, so grabbing a burger and having a picnic is always a good afternoon plan.

Visit South Congress

South Congress is a historic stretch of local shops and eats just south of Downtown Austin. Known for eclectic vibes and funky sights, you never know what you’re going to find.

I Love You So Much Mural

Located within South Congress is the famous "I love you so much" mural. The cute graffiti is perfect for pictures showing you love someone.

Race Around Circuit of the Americas

Located southeast of Austin city is the Circuit of the Americas. A large racing track where famous races like Formula 1 happen. The track is open to visitors to race karts or drive cars around.

Esther's Follies

Cathedral of Junk

In the sprit of Keeping Austin Weird, there is a structure called the Cathedral of Junk, made out of junk.

Visit the State Capitol

Umlauf Sculpture Garden

Expansive garden center featuring sculptures and statues from a wide variety of artists. Lush green walkways guide you through a visual spectacle of creativity and meaning.

Places to Eat

Amy's Ice Cream

Austin’s Premier Ice Cream Hangout with many locations around town. The personal pick of our friend, “The Ice Cream Fairy,” Amy’s has lots of non traditional flavors alongside classic staples like the fan-favorite Mexican Vanilla. Their Specials board is constantly changing with new and interesting combinations, so every visit has something you’ve never had before.

P. Terry's

Local burger joint known for keeping it local and keeping it fresh. If you want a tasty burger at a great price, P Terry’s will always have your back. Definitely make sure to check out the milkshake of the week!
Corey’s favorite burger joint, hands down. If you want to get what he gets, order a number 1, three extra meat patties, untoasted bun, dry.

Texas BBQ

Austin has a lot of spots for Texas BBQ. Some of the famous ones are La Barbecue with its recent Michelin star, Franklin's with its super long wait (plan ahead) but well worth BBQ, and Terry Black's classic BBQ. Any and all are great options. Corey recommends the BBQ from the local grocery store chain HEB.

Kemuri Tatsu-Ya

Japanese-Texan fusion barbecue izakaya. Delicious small dishes served with a unique atmosphere, make sure to bring friends and family for the shareable items. We recommend the Match Painkiller!

Odd Duck

Locally sourced ingredients and community fare are the name of the game at Odd Duck. Definitely try the ceviche, but make sure to order one for each person. No one is going to want to share.

P Thai's Khao Man Gai & Noodles

Located more up north on the stress Airport Boulevard, it puts you close to the shopping center that has lots of Asian food spots. Particularly P Thai specializes in Thai-Chinese style Hainan Chicken Rice.

Cosmic Coffee + Beer Garden

A perfect place for coffee, alcoholic beverages and in between. It's outdoor seating offers a nice peaceful atmosphere with food trucks if you're wanting something to munch on.
