Guidebook for Austin
Food Scene
Fantastic tacos and an ace ordering protocol. Order online (at the "Webberville" location) and your tacos will likely be ready by the time you finish walking over there. Pick up or eat under the trees at picnic tables there. Several other food trucks + Desnudo Coffee make for a festive atmosphere.

Just everything on the menu is delicious. A little pricier than our other options but festive and worth it. Leisurely lunch under the front canopy is lovely.

When you need a quick dinner of protein, Kebabalicious has your back. Sometimes live music on the back porch, too.

Great Texas barbecue. Check their website for hours. Go early and expect a line. Get the brisket.

Now in a brick & mortar location on E. 7th, Granny's has served up breakfast tacos with fluffy eggs and veggies from a truck tucked into an alley between E 6th & E 7th for 11 years. It's a little more of a secret than Veracruz All Natural. We especially like the Migas and the Machaca tacos!

Izakaya with a Texas flavor: small plates of delicious smoked, cooked, and raw foods. Try the smoked duck breast and the sticky rice tamale. Ramen, too.

Austin used to be a real miss when it comes to good Italian food. Il Brutto has lots of seating and we loved all the dishes we tried there, from pastas to lamb to snapper to a really excellent semifreddo. A pleasant surprise! Also, nice patio tables under the live oak tree out front.

So seriously good. You might experience a line, but service is fast and friendly.

Ma'Coco is great for a snacky dinner—guac and homemade totopos, nice salsas, generous and creative tacos, great drinks. And don't miss the churro doughnuts—ask for a bowl of whipped cream along with it. :)

Slightly splurge-y but really delicious all-house-made Mexican food. Nice drinks, and a menu of winners. Don't miss the sweet corn esquites.

Ezov
Israeli classics and "twists". Delicious and spluge-y, with friendly service.
In the mood for a slice—but a real good slice—and don’t feel like a reservation or a long wait? Walk over to Palm for great pizza, salads, and wine list. (It’s Bufalina’s little sister.) Paper plate service at picnic tables on the covered porch. Easy and sublime. The chef’s salad is a must!

Beautiful, quiet restaurant serving elegant fresh interpretations of Italian dishes. Fantastic seafood, creative pastas, everything made in house. Great service and relaxed, adult vibe. A little splurge-y and we love it.

Drinks & Nightlife
Our own neighborhood honky tonk, the White Horse serves up great twangy music with a friendly crowd and plenty of room to dance. Go early for two step lessons, or just swirl around at your own pleasure. Bomb Tacos in the yard serves up great Mexican fare to go with your Modelo.

Most Texas-y bar in Austin, the Driskill bar envelops you in horsehide and western art. Very comfy place to sit back and enjoy a cocktail away from the fray of 6th Street.

Sightseeing
Take a free tour of our state capitol—larger than the U.S. Capitol, don't ya know. Ask about the whispering spot underneath the dome.

Might sound strange, but our new Central Library is a fabulous place to pop into, or to while away a few hours. Head to the screened reading porches (kids' level and adult level) for comfy reading in the sunshine above Lady Bird Lake. Rooftop terrace is great, and there's a nice cafe on ground level. Austin's newest gem!

Parks & Nature
Stroll, jog, or bike on the Hike & Bike Trail along Lady Bird Lake. Nice shade on hot days, nice birds and rowing teams to watch in wintertime. Take it west toward downtown for nice city views, or to see the bats under Congress Ave. Bridge.

Comfy & elegant movie theater with bar and small menu of food. We like the front row seats, which are giant recliners with ottomans.
