Some of the biggest lineups in town are for this joint! Great hamburgers and one of those things that Austinites want to experience. This is the best alternative to a BBQ joint on South Congress.

Magnolia's motto: "We're sorry, we're open." This place is legendary, open 24/7/365, and one of our favorites. No place like it for real, Austin-style food. Watch out for the Sunday morning lineups.

A quiet place to sit and work. One of the best kept secrets is in the back yard - a converted carriage house which has a whole wall blackboard. Great for thinking out and discussing big ideas. One of my favorite places for meetings.

One of the best food options in Austin. All macro-biotic. Wayo Longoria has been making this essential healthy food place available to Austin for such a long time. Thank you Wayo! Check out the serene, peaceful gardens. This is a nice 40 minute walk from our place, most of it on Town Lake Trail.

Great for people watching (ahem) and possibly one of the best places to start a romantic evening if you are starting it alone. Everybody loves checking out each other's baskets (ahem). Lots of eating options/variety here, as well as the 2nd floor outdoor deck.

Parks & Nature

Travis Heights little treasure. Just a nice stroll (2,500 feet) down the quiet streets. Lots of open space to run around. Great place for walking pets etc. It also leads to Travis Heights Elementary School on the South end. This is an essential walk if you are considering Travis Heights for your next neighborhood.

10+ miles of fun. Head East or West and you will find something of interest to do on town lake, if not just walking through all of the nature and people watching.
