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.

Food truck serving up breakfast tacos with fluffy eggs and veggies. Tucked away on an alley, it's a little more of a secret than Veracruz All Natural. Picnic tables. 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.

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!

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.

This sweet, small historic property gives you a good idea of early Austin, when France sent an ambassador (albeit once they wanted to get rid of) to the Republic of Texas. Tours and small museum.

The bats are thickest between March and November. Go before sundown and enjoy watching the streams of bats leaving their homes under the bridge to feed on insects along the lakeshore. A very cool sight. Enjoy it from the top of the bridge (on Congress) or cross the bridge to the little park at the foot of the bridge on south side of the river.

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.
