Austin By Food

You have moved to Austin, TX! Now what to do... Everyone needs to eat, so why not start there! Food, can be a very comforting part of one's day when experiencing a new place. Going out to restaurants allows one to sit down and be served. If you select a new restaurant it may be in a new part of town which means you can explore the new sites. There will always be people watching even if you don't meet new people. People watching helps in the local experience. Why not taste some of the new local delights. Select the type of food you are interested in and plan your meal! Just don't forget to look around as you make your way to your choice place because there is sure to be interesting sites along the way. When all else fails, stop for a drink and people watch!

So, navigate to South Congress Street(SoCo) , the commonly known 6th Street strip, the Warehouse District, or plan a visit to The University of Texas and see it's surrounding area.

SoCo is one of the most popular venues for visitors and new residents to Austin, TX. It provide great sites: from a view of the Austin City Capitol Building to shopping, Austin art via one of a kind murals, many different eating experiences along with listening to street side and indoor music. When all else fails there is the bar hopping to forget the heat or any of your current troubles.

6th Street is the site for many festivals here in Austin as well as many collective gatherings such as the infamous Halloween celebration which brings many to the area for one grand party. After UT football games this street turns into one big celebration or wattering hole to drown sorrows since it is lined with clubs, restaurants, pubs. One can also experience the Austin artistic flare at the galleries. It is located between Lavaca Avenue and I-35 in downtown Austin. After dark this street is transformed into a block party blocking off street traffic for pedestrians only around 11:00PM. This place is crazy with partygoers!

The Warehouse district is just west of the central business district. It is more upscale to 6th street but with that comes more $$$. It caters to a slightly older crowd than the other downtown entertainment areas such as SoCo and 6th Street. As one would expect, like in other cities, the restaurants and clubs in this district have been renovated from former warehouses into trendy restaurants, top-notch concert halls, and distinctive bars. Live music and great restaurants are everywhere and very easy to find.
