Brooke & Mark’s Wedding
Things To Do, Eat and See
Loro
One of our favorites - Loro is a Texas BBQ/Asian fusion spot. Casual atmosphere and fun for groups.
Uchi
Our favorite sushi spot (also in Houston), we celebrated our engagement here.
The Peacock Mediterranean Grill
Great dinner spot located in the the lobby of our favorite hotel, The Proper.
Local Foods -- 2nd Street District
Local Foods is another one of our favorites - seasonal menu with sandwiches, soups and salads
Veracruz All Natural
Perfect spot to grab breakfast tacos!
Wax Myrtle's
The pool bar/restaurant at the Tommie/Thompson has a fun atmosphere and nice views.
6th Street
6th street is separated into two sides - East & West. The Thompson is located right off of East 6th/Old 6th/Dirty 6th which has more older and dive bars. West 6th Street is less rowdy than Old 6th Street and many fun & trendier bars and better restaurants.
Rainey Street
Rows of cute bungalows have been transformed into Rainey Street, a lively scene of restaurants, bars and food trucks.
Texas Capitol
Visit the Texas Capitol building. It’s open for free tours seven days a week.
South Congress Avenue
Great walkable street with place with shopping (local boutiques and national brands), grabbing a cocktail or bite to eat and seeing some iconic Austin places like the Austin Motel sign, I love you so much wall and views down to the Capitol. Get here by Uber or renting a bike or scooter.
Lake Travis
Lake Travis is about 30 mins from downtown. It’s a lot of fun to rent a boat and hang out on the lake. The water is clear and cold. There are several companies that offer boat rentals for various size groups.
Lady Bird Lake Trail
The trail around lady bird lake is fairly shaded and easily accessible from Downtown. We’ve enjoyed morning walks on this trail on our visits.
