This doesn't really fit into a category such as "cafe". It's a outdoor dining area with a walk up window that just happens to have the best sandwiches and salads in town. My sister makes it her mission to go to ADP every time she visits. Bonus: Free Beer Fridays!

Drinks & Nightlife
Okay, it's not in the neighborhood, but it's not far either. A short drive, or take a shared ride. Some of the greatest acts that come to Austin play at the Continental Club. It's a throw back and the music is always good. Check out their happy hour shows starting at 6:30. Roots, rock and roll, blues and country...all in one place. Iconic Austin!

Mezcal is the drink supreme here. But if it's not your thing, not to worry, they have some of the most inventive cocktails I have every tasted (and I've tasted a few)! Weekend music, with a jazz vibe. A back yard with picnic tables and games. Did I mention the FANTASTIC pizza? Paper thin, cracker crust and loaded with fresh and imaginative toppings. A fav hang for us!

Austin is the capitol of Texas, so a tour of the capitol is a must! The beautiful architecture of the hallowed halls of our capitol is worth the visit. The grounds are lovely, too and beckon you to take a stroll.

Stroll 6th street, now spanning from the east side of I-35 all the way to downtown. There is everything...bars and music venues, exotic restaurants, tattoo parlors, live variety shows (Esters' Follies) gift shops, dueling pianos and even a hand rolled cigar shop (they actually sit in the window and roll cigars). Oh, and don't miss "Museum of the Weird"! Street performers, pretzel carts, walk up windows with pizza by the slice...no need to even go inside a venue, though it's hard to resist. And then there are the side streets....OY!

Parks & Nature
It's no secret...Austin get's hot in the summer. But there is so much to do and see that you can't let the heat deter you. Do what we locals do and head over to Barton Springs Pool for an dip in the icy water. Warm up again on the grassy shores. Repeat. Note: This is a protected natural spring. Food cannot be brought into the pool area. Grab some lunch before you go at one of the many restaurants on Barton Springs Road. We love Shady Grove.
