Amazing food at this historic Austin establishment. The structure has beautiful stone walls throughout. If you love Indian food, don't miss this restaurant! Try the infused Mango- Ginger Vodka from the bar.

Iconic street art site. Great photo opportunity on the south side of this Thai food restaurant. I go here regularly for lunch. Sushi is their specialty and they have a good sushi happy hour discount.

Another Austin classic hot spot. Very casual attire, fun music playlist. Great chili but it can be quite spicy! I love their gumbo. And be sure to try the Mexican martini!

One of my very favorite spots for breakfast but they are also open late night. Try the yogurt with homemade granola and fresh fruit/honey or the home made poptarts. The chicken and waffles is to die for!

Iconic mexican food. A must stop! I recommend the Tortiilla soup. Also very popular for happy hour! If you want a secret Austin Margarita that's not even on the menu, ask for the 'Mike Hall". It will cost you about $20 but oh no good! Big enough to share.

Another Austin iconic photo spot. Stop by for a picture of the UT Tower. Best photo opps of the Tower are taken from the south side of campus right off MLK and across from the Bullock Museum. The UT ground are also plastered with gorgeous statues, water features and sculptures. A fun place to walk around!

Worth a visit to get a glimpse of this ever changing street art graffiti site. Park on any side street nearby and walk down to get a close up view. Fascinating works of street art are beside simple spray paint hearts that love birds added the night before. Its never the same. Wear your tennis shoes or something with good support if you want to hike around the area.
