QUOTE (kcroxyoursox @ Jan 8 2008, 04:01 PM)  Ok so Vegas is out because we are too poor. New destination: Austin. So for those of you from there/living there now - entertainment suggestions? We will be there for spring break, so definitely will do 6th Street. What about food? Preferably something local, but not too bizarre... food... I say Katz's Deli... its on 6th but further down from the bars, but its open 24/7 so its a neat place to go after you go out at night
PS - mods can split into separate threads if you want. Just thought I'd conserve space. |

Depending on what you enjoy doing, I can tell you a million things to do
Just avoid 6th street. It might be the most overrated place in the Western Hemisphere --------------------   |

Yep, hence my recommendation to go to the side street bars and chill. Usually (sometimes) cheaper and not as juvenile. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

QUOTE (Oasis @ Jan 9 2008, 09:28 AM) Depending on what you enjoy doing, I can tell you a million things to do Well, we're all 21 so any neat bars/clubs maybe. We'd like to do some outdoorsy stuff, maybe hiking or something in a big park. Basically, stuff that's unique to Austin, or at least not stuff we could do in Lubbock (or DFW if you want to stretch it - why go on vacation to do a whole bunch of things you could do at home without paying for a hotel?) I don't want to plan the whole trip on a strict itinerary necessarily, but we won't have Internet access to be able to get up and research stuff every morning. So if I get a whole bunch of ideas now, then we're a step ahead by already having the info gathered together so we can make a quick choice and be off on our next adventure! -------------------- Forget regret

I guess you could consider getting run over by an inconsiderate asshole on a bicycle "uniquely Austin"
Cuba Libre is really good and classy. I wouldn't plan on drinking much there though unless you plan on taking out a second mortgage -------------------- |

South Congress.
The bats won't be out as much as they are in summer but you can attempt it. Try some Amy's ice cream (try the Shiner flavor) and walk around South Congress. It's an experience that is definitely Austin. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
