- Visit South Congress street, even though it's trying to be, it's still kinda hip and fun.
- Visit the Blanton, it's a very good art museum.
- Eat, food is a key ingredient of what makes Austin, Austin.
- Get a great cup of coffee at Medici Cafe, near 2nd and Congress, and sit outside and enjoy the city.
- Take the free tour of the State Capitol building. Very interesting and a beautiful space.
- Sit on the pedestrian bridge, just a hair east of the Lamar street bridge. Great view and magical when the train comes by.
- Visit Fortney on W 6th avenue, an antique, curio, anything you can imagine shop. This place is special.
Don'ts
- Be over 30, this is a city for the young. In this city you are either young or homeless.
- Walk anywhere, the intersections here are truly frighting, pedestrians are invisible. I would rather cross the 405 at rush hour.
- Look for the million bats on the Congress street bridge before mid March, apparently they have commitments in Mexico prior to that.
- Spend a minute at the Art House Gallery, I like weird art, but that was pushing it and the space is tiny.
- Come alone, this place is all about going out to eat and hitting the incredibly interesting bars downtown.
