Food Scene

This place is fun and literally across the street! Order the hashbrowns and you will not be disappointed! If morning cocktails are your thing, Snooze has got you covered. Go on the earlier side--this place is popular! But you can always spend the wait time in your Airbnb because it's literally across the street.

Amy's is by far the best ice cream shop there is. Try whatever flavors you want and mix and match! If you guess the movie quote correctly, you get a free crush in! The perfect combo: Dark chocolate and coffee ice creams mixed together with chocolate chips. Perfection.

Magnolia Cafe is an Austin staple; you absolutely must go! It's open 24 hours. If you're out late, go get their MagMud--a queso mix with black beans, avocado, pico de gallo and jalapenos. Yum! If you're going for brunch, try their buttermilk pancakes or their Flamingo omelette with verde and sour cream sauces. **Make sure to check their specials board when you go; you never know what gems they have just waiting to be tried.

This place is open 24 hours and it's one of my favorite coffee shops in town! They do some fun signature drinks but their lattes are perfection on their own. Grab a bite to eat while you're there and then walk South Congress to see all the shops while you sip your coffee.

Entertainment & Activities

This place is amazing. You can order food while you watch the latest flick. It's great dining and great movie-watching all in one. Be prepared: they take films seriously, so don't even think about talking or texting. Plus side: you can watch a movie in peace while eating delicious grub! Try their fried pickles for a snack.

Drinks & Nightlife

Go have a beer and listen to live music. Bob Schneider, a local legend, normally plays on Monday nights. It's chill and it's amazing.

Go take in some amazing Austin views at Mt. Bonnell! It can be kind of crowded on the weekends so go early. The views will make the trip more than worth it! Stop at County Line BBQ on your way back.

Austin is known for its glorious greenbelts; put on your sneakers and head out to get in some exercise and see Texas and Austin at its best. Wear a swimsuit if you fancy jumping into the water if you stumble across a swimming hole along the way. And don't forget your water!

Shopping

Go walk along South Congress and partake in a piece of Austin's culture and history. This street has it all: fun restaurants, quirky shops, markets on the weekends...you name it. There are pop up markets on Saturday and Sunday mornings and more shops than you'll have time to go in to! Stop by South Congress Cafe if you need a bite or Hopdoddy's if you're feeling a burger.

Arts & Culture

The Bob Bullock is great...go to one of the amazing exhibits or catch one of the fascinating documentaries on their IMAX screen. They have their own parking garage which might be worth it since parking in downtown Austin can prove difficult.
