Food Scene
Justine's is an East Austin treasure with delicious food and a very hip ambiance. My favorite is to find a seat at the bar and just dine there as the wait time for a table can be considerable. Make friends with the bartenders and the regulars. They serve food late too, till 1:30 am.

This is hands down my favorite restaurant in Austin. I go here mainly for lunch, but they have an incredible happy hour and delicious dinners. Occasionally they feature live music. Try the steak sandwich, it's one of the best steaks in Austin and reminds me of Buenos Aires. They also serve one of the very best espressos in Austin, in my opinion. Say hi to Justin behind the bar.

This is a local New Orleans style place that is two blocks from my house. I mainly get their gumbo, which is delicious, but they have all the standard New Orleans fixings.

Drinks & Nightlife
The Sahara Lounge is literally one block down the street (sort of a long block, but still just one block) and has become one of the best music venues in the city. It has a dive feel, serves affordable drinks, has a great patio, and sports 2-3 bands every night of the year.
