Activities
South Congress
Check out the cute strip & enjoy the different stores, restaurants and bars. Take a picture with the famous "I Love You So Much" sign!
Barton Springs Municipal Pool
Want a quick cold plunge to get you ready for the day? Take a quick dive into Barton Springs and enjoy the water that is maintained at 69 degrees all year!
Rainey Street
Although Rainey Street has changed quite a bit, there are still some cute historical homes that have been transformed into bars that you can enjoy! Walk down the strip, check out live bands & grab some mini donuts from Little Lucy's Mini Donuts!
Lady Bird Lake
Walk around the trail & enjoy the beautiful downtown ATX. You can do paddleboard, kayak & even rent a retro car boat to cruise around in. If you need a puppy fix while you leave your fur babies at home, there is an open field always filled with pups to hang out with!
Texas Capital
Feel free to book a tour for the Capital! Also includes a city tour if you'd like to learn more about the city of Austin's roots!
6th Street
Walk down the famous Dirty 6th Street for some fun bars, live music and shops! If you continue down towards the West side of 6th street, there are a ton of other bars and restaurants to explore! Now flip it and reverse it, head back towards East 6th and check out all the local bars & food trucks! (ATX is a big bar city if you didn't know hehe)
Domain
Need any last minute shopping? Domain has a ton a really cute stores from big brand names to smaller local shops you can browse through. Really nice area to walk around and also grab lunch as there are tons of bars and restaurants alongside the stores.
good eats
Some of our favorite places in ATX. A lot of places in ATX do require reservations, so please consider that ahead of coming :)
Tacodeli
Great for breakfast tacos! Recommend trying any of their pre-fixed menu options or building your own :) Felisha's fav is building an egg chorizo & papas on corn & Matt's fav is the classic Otto on corn!
Electric Shuffle Austin
Shuffleboard & brunch! We recommend grabbing a reservation here ahead of time & opt for the boozy brunch option. Tons of family styled food & each person gets a bottle of champagne for mimosas!
WU Chow - Downtown
Great option for some sharable dim sum & Chinese cuisines! Matt and I are suckers for some good Asian food always & highly recommend. Def order the Dan Dan Noodles, Salt & Pepper Shrimp, Shanghai Pork Soup Dumplings, & Gulf Shrimp Ha Gow!
Veracruz All Natural
For taco's anytime of the day, Veracruz is a must! Matts go to is the Barbacoa taco & Felisha's is the Migas taco.
Polvos
One our fav Mexican restaurants downtown! Grab a pitcher (or couple) of their skinny margaritas to share with friends. They have a unlimited salsa bar and recommend ordering their chicken quesadilla or shrimp fajitas!
Terry Black's Barbecue
My go to BBQ place to get the real TX experience. Cafeteria style & you cant go wrong with any of the meat choices. For the sides we recommend the cream corn, potato salad, mac & cheese & be sure to grab some pickles/onions!
Loro
Mix between Asian and TX BBQ. 10/10 recommend going to their HH and enjoying some sharables with your friends & family. Some of our favorites include Crunchy Sweet Corn Fritters, Chicken Karaage, Crispy Potato's, Char Siew Pork Belly Rice Bow, & Brisket Tostadas! Of course try one of their frozen drinks while you're there!
Este
By far 1 of our favorite restaurants in ATX. They have seafood forward & source some of their vegetables from their own garden out back. We love a lot of their menu option, but if you need some recommendations grab the following: Oysters, Este Ceviche, Fish Tacos, Whatever Fish Option they have rotated in & Mixta Tostada.
P. Terry's Burger Stand #22
In-N-Out who?? Go to P. Terrys for your burger, fries & shake fix. If you're tryna be healthyyy like Felisha you can opt for the protein style double cheese burger or get biggg like Matt and order the double cheese burger as is. Either way be sure to add on the pickles and onions!
Suerte
Upscale Mexican goodies! Some go-to options would be their Hamachi Crudo, Suadero Tacos, & Barbacoa! They usually rotate some menu items as well, so highly recommend seeing what they have in while you're here!
