Within Downtown Austin you have a few pockets to consider. 2nd Street, West 6th, “Dirty” 6th, East Side, Clarksville, the Warehouse District, and Rainey Street.
One of our favorite places to hang is 2nd Street. In the center of downtown and at the heart of what makes Austin unique is 2ND Street District with more than 50 specialty shops, services, and dining destinations making it the perfect travel destination. Celebrate any occasion with a self care weekend, an all day shopping spree, a nice dinner + wine pairing, or a DIY crafting party—they have everything you need to make it memorable and fun!
Eat – La Condesa (Upscale Mexican), Taverna (Italian – $1 Mimosas on Saturday & Sunday), CRU (Wine Bar – 50% off Bubbles on Thursdays), 3 Forks (Steakhouse), Bar Chi (Sushi – Sunday all day HH), Lamberts (Upscale barbecue), Trace at the W (Modern American – great for Brunch and $5 Mimosa Pitchers)
Pop into Royal Blue when you get in—it’s a local grocer that has a great selection of wine, beer, and prepared foods as well as refrigerated items and pantry staples.
