Guidebook for Austin
Food Scene
Jo's coffee is right across the street from the complex, with outstandingly delicious coffee (I especially love their cold brew!) and great people watching in a quintessentially "Austin" outdoor setting. Sometimes there's a bit of a line, but completely worth it! As a bonus, snap a picture in front of Austin's famous "I love you so much" mural on the side of the building.

Perla's is celebrated for their oysters, but they also have a beautiful patio with great people-watching and delicious cocktails. If you want just a snack, they have some amazing small plates and side dishes.

Amazing Italian food in a romantic setting, with a beautiful little bar and courtyard out back, sometimes with live music. Hands down one of my favorite restaurants in Austin! Try the Botticelli bread (they have a meat option and a veggie option)!

Drinks & Nightlife
Winery with a really cool industrial bar / seating area. They serve cheese plates but do not have a full menu, and you are welcome to bring your own food. Conveniently, they share a parking lot with a climbing gym, Cosmic Coffee (which serves delicious coffee AND beer), and a few great food trucks (including Pueblo Viejo, one of the best trucks for authentic street tacos in the city!). Not as walkable, I'd suggest using Uber or Lyft or renting a bike if you're going to head over there.
