Amy's is by far the best ice cream shop there is. Try whatever flavors you want and mix and match! If you guess the movie quote correctly, you get a free crush in!

Magnolia Cafe is an Austin staple; you absolutely must go! It's open 24 hours. If you're out late, go get their MagMud--a queso mix with black beans, avocado, pico de gallo and jalapenos. Yum! If you're going for brunch, try their buttermilk pancakes or their Flamingo omelette with verde and sour cream sauces.
**Make sure to check their specials board when you go; you never know what gems they have just waiting to be tried.

This place is open 24 hours and it's one of my favorite coffee shops in town! They do some fun signature drinks but their lattes are perfection on their own. Grab a bite to eat while you're there and then walk South Congress to see all the shops while you sip your coffee.

Arts & Culture
The Bob Bullock is great...go to one of the amazing exhibits or catch one of the fascinating documentaries on their IMAX screen. They have their own parking garage which might be worth it since parking in downtown Austin can prove difficult.
