Be sure to send us postcards. And can you bring back some local cuisine?
Bump for later
6th Street. Best live blues in the country.
I’ll post later .
Go see the bat flight out from under the Congress Street bridge if they have arrived for the year.
If you handle the wait, get in line for Franklins.
There is one restaurant that you do NOT want to go to. The name slips me but I am going to try and get it from my big sister.
We went to it after my nieces graduation and trust me, everything on the menu was overpriced and did not live up to the pricing.
I hope you survive the darting if the libs happen to dart you. Stay vigilant.......
Look up Iowahawk. He’ll show you a good time.
You can get music anywhere. Go see the bats. They should be back for the summer by now, although it has been a cool spring.
Countless places for music, but visit Antones at least once. Good BBQ everywhere. Spend some ti.e at Zilker Park. Watch the bats fly out from under the Congress Street bridge. Tour the state capitol building.
Follow Ranch to Market road 2222 west to Hippy Hollow (you’ve got to zig west a bit on 620, then follow Comanche Trail), and don’t forget to bring your birthday suit for swimming in Lake Travis. Then watch the sunset from nearby Oasis Restaurant, a little intimate dining establishment overlooking the lake. (It only holds about 2500 people.)
Gruene Hall brings in top talent. You may have heard of the singers and bands or not but they are top talent.

Do not read the articles. The libtardness will ooze off the screen and spike your blood pressure. However, the restaurant reviews are ok, and the music reviews are good.
For history try Texas state history museum . It’s with in walking distance of the capital . You could also do the university tower tour.
For fun there is stand-up paddle boarding on Town Lake . Live music at the Mohawk downtown and the continental club on congress .
For b-b-q try Style Switch on north Lamar .
Tacos try Torchies trailer park on south main . That’s the original one .
Austin is a hipster loser town. If you like the smell of urine and weed 6th street is where you need to go. You are better off going to Gruene or one of the smaller outlier towns.
When you are in Austin don’t miss the gay bars. There are a lot of them loaded with very friendly patrons.
