Welcome to Austin everyone visiting for the SXSW madness. If this is your first time or you are looking to experience a few Austin eats & things to do while hanging out this week then this SXSuggestion guide should help. These are some of the local favorites things that you must see or try while enjoying Austin. Some of them make for great instagrams while others will make your mouth water. One thing is for sure, you don’t need a badge to explore Austin! And since SXSW happens downtown all of these things are within walking distance of downtown.
