Best BBQ is at Mickelthwait, La Barbecue, or Franklins. They are basically the same quality, but you’ll be waiting 5 hours at Franklins and 45min at La Barbecue. I recommend going to Micklethwait, which is not as well-known and may not have more than a 20min wait.

Russell’s Bakery is in the neighborhood and great for coffee and baked goods. You can walk down the street and right over the Hancock bridge to get there (0.5 mile).

Small café right down the street. Love going here for lunch or coffee. They also have a selection of gourmet cheese. French-American comfort food with modern twists in an airy space that also stocks gourmet groceries.

I love the Power Bowl at Citizen. Warning... everything in the restaurant is vegan, but it actually tastes good! Citizen Eatery is a bright, health-conscious cafe & full bar serving a 100% meat-free menu including all-day breakfast. Find something delicious!

Tacos, tortas & more plus tequila cocktails & beer in a modern, lodgelike space with a bar. If you want to try something different and spicy, the Jalapeno margaritas are really good!

Starting in late March and continuing through early fall, North America's largest urban bat population calls Austin home. The bats begin to wake up and start their night flight around sunset. The first few bats begin to trickle out from under the bridge then. After the sun sets, the show really begins, and hundreds to thousands of bats pour out and cascade East over Lady Bird Lake. The best time to witness the bats is around sunset, but the nightly show can take place anywhere from 7:30 to 9:45 p.m. It can take as long as 45 minutes for all of the bats to exit the bridge for the night. Plan to arrive early in order to find parking and get your spot.
