QP is similar to what a high end NYC deli and a taproom would look like if they had a baby. Random high-end items, microbrews, wines, a really good cortado, everything you need for a simple red sauce + a full menu of sandwiches, salads and breakfast tacos. It's easy, not cheap...but easy.

Do yourself a favor and get the migas taco! You will have to wait, and it's not exactly fine dining, but it is entirely worth it. Grab a number and get yourself some homemade salsa verde while you are at it. Love this place so much.

Because they serve mini whisky cocktails at brunch. Genius. And the food is super good. Feed a small fam with the Grilled Half Dewberry Hills Chicken at dinner. Hip, great cocktails, comfortable.

Great brunch. Craft cocktails & oysters in a french bistro ala NYC West Village circa 1990s way. Great coffee drinks.

We have to stop at this high-end 1950's- referenced new fangled "burger stand" every time we come to Austin. There is something that keeps us coming back. Maybe its the fries or the shakes, but more likely its the CHICKEN burger. Odd? NO, delicious! Our kids would vote sand box is the top reason to visit.

One of the best restaurants in the country hands down. Uchi means "house" and that is exactly the feel it has. Only in this house they serve better sushi than some of the most acclaimed sushi restaurants in Japan. Transcendent combinations. Order a bamboo of sake, the Hamachi Cure, any of the cool tastings, and Fois Gras Sushi if you are a maniac.

Food truck with the most! Get there before 2PM to get the pork ribs and brisket and you will thank yourself. Jalapeño cheese grits aren't bad either.

I love this place. It is located on a beautiful, modest farm. Great for kids to run around and see chickens, teepee and fresh food. The truck serves upscale artfully prepared food on paper plates. BYOB. Take a bottle of bubbly to pair with fresh juice offerings. Everyone else does! https://www.edeneastaustin.com

Essential Austin experience. The best wacky, rich flavors you will ever have. Try some samples, it behooves you to do so. Think vanilla with Grape Nuts, Nutter Butter, chocolate covered strawberries, Guinness ...they always change. The mixin's are unique too. One word: Biscoff! Lovely mixologists are keeping Austin weird.

Shopping
Best buyer ever. I want everything in here. Very Japanese. If you are into minimalism and you like housewares or are looking for a unique gift, then go here. Beautiful things at American prices. Everything from stationery to salt pigs to crystals. It' s one of the best on the Eastside, no doubt. Maybe in the city.

Great style at this store. Brands like Rachel Comey, Priory, Issey Miyake and more. Best boutique in Austin (and Houston for that matter).

Drive through a residential neighborhood, hike as far as you can to get the best spot. If you are adventurous, just keep hiking upstream for a more private rock to sun on. It's is worth the reward. Or don't ! You'll still have an amazing time only with more people. A favorite watering hole of ours. Not always accessible...just depends on the rain.

Great for kids and adults. A gigantic & historic tiled pool that is actually fed by cold springs. Nature meets man made, it is actually the oldest swimming pool in Texas. Very shallow in parts so it is great for kids. Temperature is the same year round. Sit in the shade or the sun and then take a dip when you are feeling it. Lifeguards on duty and they are on it! Great place. No picnics on the lawn, but just outside you can.

A huge swimming pool on in Zilker park and a quintessential Austin experience. The pool is fed by underground springs and is good for swimming year-round since it stays a constant, very cool 68 degrees.
