Anyone live in Austin, TX

I don't live there but visited last year. There were a few good threads about food, I'll double check for you

We stayed at the JW Marriott the last time we were in Austin and I really liked it. It's right downtown and has a fun vibe. People gave good restaurant recommendations in the thread that VeryContrary linked. We loved Easy Tiger and Home Slice. During the day, I enjoyed shopping on South Congress. If you like reading, BookPeople is a cool bookstore. It's near the original Whole Foods location, which was fun to see.

NYT just did one of their "36 Hours In" for Austin:

I love about 30 mins from Austin.
Be prepared for traffic!

What do you like to do?

[walterismydog]

You absolutely have to go to Barton Springs.

Other than that, it's been so long since I lived there that I don't know what's still around.

I live in Austin. Traffic is going to be rough.

BookPeople is amazing, a second whomever recommended that.

West 6th is cool, South Congress is fun. Olivia is a good spot for brunch, Emmer and Rye, Noble Sandwich Co., and Wink's Wine Bar are fun places.

Oh, and Mana Culture is a jewelry store I'm currently obsessed with if you're into that sort of thing.

Oooh, and if you can swing by Jester King or Blue Owl Brewing those are fun
