My Favorite Restaurants/Coffee Shops

Austin has become quite the foodie town! Here are some of my favorite local spots. If anything, make sure to try a breakfast taco while you're in town. It's a daily addiction for me!
Best tacos in town! Breakfast tacos are served until 11am on weekdays and all day on weekends. My favorites are the Jess Special, Sirloin Egg and Cheese, as well as the Huevos Ahogados.

Things to Do

There is always something going on in Austin, be it a festival, tour, show, or weekend attraction. Here are some of my favorite things to do with my time off.
Enjoy the view on a sunny day. I come here to run up and down the steps, but most come to enjoy the view of the city or Ladybird Lake. It's best to come around sunset!
