With sooo many options this is one of our personal favorite BBQ places. It's downtown so we usually make a day of it walking around after BBQ.

Hands down my favorite vegan sandwich is the Cool Summer Sammach (do yourself a favor and add the Facon). It's geared towards veggie heads but does have some egg dishes also. It's a corky place that can have a bit of a wait at times, but for me it's worth it.

It's an Austin original. Started at this location on Barton Springs back in 1982. I personally worked at the corporate office so can really attest to the quality of the products they purchase to serve you. Everything is good and if you want to make changes they are very accommodating. (heads up..the only con to this place is how loud the music is. Avoid sitting in the hubcap room if possible.)

These peeps just do tacos really well. This would be a great option if there's a time crunch or saving a little money. I also just go here when I have time and don't worry about cost...I just like their food. There's always a special featured taco to ask about too. I love the Independant and Mr. Pink is a close second.

If it's raining check out any Alamo Drafthouse. They serve great food and local beers while you watch you flick.

Sightseeing
It's a museum that features mostly outdoor artwork/sculptures/experiences. If you have a car it's worth a peek but it's not a must see.

Close and less expensive than most competitors. You park at the hostile or on lakeshore drive. You can opt for hours or all day (I do all day because you can leave grab lunch and go back out).

Special to Austin, a spring fed pool (can be refreshing or cold to some). You can bring snacks but no alcohol. Bring a towel or blanket and spend the afternoon swimming, wading, or just catching some sun.
