East Austin and More!
Food scene
Walkable! Deep dish, "Detroit-style" pizza. Mere steps from your door. Grab a beer at their bar while you wait. It's usually at least 30 minutes for each pie. They don't do slices, but they do offer a thin crust 'bar pizza' that comes out pretty quick if you order at the bar.

Walkable! Date Night. Italian. Delicious, and unpretentious-as it should be. Their Italian wine list is as robust as the Italian wines themselves. Get there for happy hour before 6pm and all their drinks are half off. (At time of writing)

Coffee and more
Walkable! Coffee roasters, bean purveyors, and local Austinites make Cuvee Coffee our favorite stop in town for a hot drip, or a latte.
Walk down the street from our AirBnb and take a left on 6th street.
Grab a bag of beans to take home. The dark roast is incredible.
The ambiance is great, but this spot is a perfect place to grab a cup-to-go and start your walk down the iconic East Side neighborhoods.

Neighborhoods
South Congress is a great place to spend the day shopping and eating your way through Austin. It's too far to walk from our house, but you can scooter there. Scooters are very popular on South Congress. I guess because there's such a long strip of stores and restaurants to get to. Weekends often host outdoor markets with local vendors. Great spot for a few souvenirs. Favorite food spots here are Hopdoddy Burgers and Home slice Pizza.

Yet another area of 6th street that offers a strip of bars and restaurants. West 6th is known for having more sports bars for game watching and a little more upscale party experience. We consider it the area for the recently graduated college crowd. We often go to west 6th to watch soccer or football games.

This area is what locals call "Dirty 6th." And you probably won't have a hard time figuring out why. Dirty 6th is the original bar strip of Austin. Tons of different types of dance clubs and rooftop bars. Definitely a good time for Bachelor/Bachelorette parties, large groups, and first timers. But if you visit Austin often, you'll quickly find that there are many more options to have a good time!

Sightseeing
351-acre, urban park with botanical gardens, a spring-fed pool, a theater & sports facilities. The main park area is off leash for dogs. You'll see plenty of people out lounging on blankets, having picnics, playing games. Volley ball courts are open to the public and you can often just pop in as a sub on someone's court. Slack lining, yoga, dancing, soccer, birthday parties, you name it. Everyone enjoys being outside on the beautiful lawn under the Austin Skyline.

Riverlike reservoir for kayaking & rowing, plus trails alongside for biking, jogging & wildlife viewing. There are many companies that offer kayaking and rowing. Call around for pricing and wait times. The city offers bicycles for rent all around the city. Look up on the city website for price and locations. SCOOTERS ARE NOT ALLOWED ON THE TRAIL- because their batteries die and their really hard to carry off when their dead.

Located in south-central Austin, the Barton Creek Greenbelt contains 12.68 miles of gorgeous trails, with the main trail spanning about 7 miles. This particular greenbelt is considered one of the top hiking trails in Texas. But this area is not only for hiking. During the early summer, there are many popular swimming spots. The spyglass entrance and the sculpture falls entrance are the two most popular spots for swimming. Campbells hole (at the spyglass entrance) is a cliff jumping spot. The green belt is dog friendly. Remember to bring your water shoes if you plan on getting in the water- it will be MUCH easier on your feet!
