Austin, TX Rocks My Socks - Now it Can Rock Yours, Too! :-)










Top 10 Things to Do & See & Eat:

1. There's always history, and the capitol is tucked right there near Downtown Austin, with free parking on the weekends - how convenient is that?!

2. Toy Joy! Need I even say more? I came home with a bag full of treasures, from kazoos and a tiny plastic wind up cymbal-clapping monkey to a pinhole camera that uses 35mm film!

3. Eat, eat, eat! There are fabulous finds littered all over the city for vegans and vegetarians - how refreshing for this Georgia Peach! :-) Veggie Heaven is a top pick.

4. Eat Some More! Kerbey Lane Café was a standout - if only we could have stayed longer, and I would have had more than just one meal there! Mmmm - so fresh & tasty. Great cozy/diner atmosphere.

5. See Howie! He's right there on Guadalupe & a side street - can't miss him! Also, check out the street vendors while you're there. Jewelry & photography = bliss.

6. Visit That Popcorn Place! You'll find something to love, no matter how picky you might consider yourself to be!

7. Drink some Bubble Tea while you wait for your taxi, or anytime at all! I am so glad I finally got to experience this yummy stuff. Tapioca pearls are ugly, but they rule!

8. Eat some Oatscreme at the cool café connected to the infamous Toy Joy - pastries, tasties, and smoothies - all natural and all made from scratch!

9. Stop in Intellectual Property and buy some awesome bargain books. Great selection and uncluttered, upscale vibe inside.

10. Stop in at Diablo Rojo and see Rok for a piercing! He was way cool - too bad my job says no to noserings. :-(
