Lived there for 24 years. What is your idea of cool. 6th street is more college crowd. Warehouse district is for the older crowed. The W houses the concert venue Moody theater. Juan in a Million for Breakfast tacos. was on the Man against food series.

Places to eat. Jack Allens Kitchen. Franklins BBq is the best brisket in the nation. but you have to wait in line.

Torchys is good

Tacodeli is better

I like the queso at Torchys and they definitely have good tacos

I've eaten at them all. I was suspicious of the hype for Franklins So I ordered on line 3 months in advance and I can say that it is the best brisket in Austin. Now we can argue over whether it is worth standing in line for or not, I haven't stood in line. But Franklin has perfected the art of brisket.

Let me know how those turn out .. got a pair of Lucchese from a shop within the same block as the bespoke for $600 that feel like tennis shoes. But I've wondered about the custom made and their value.

I like to eat, so hopefully these recommendations are spot on. I'll eat out every meal. Staying at the JW Marriott which has a ton of restaurants but I'd rather go out and sample local food. I like live music which I heard is big here. My wife may join me later in the week, but for now I'm rolling solo so I have time to see whatever. Thanks for the advices.

I grew up in Plano and Lewisville and all of my family still lives in Texas (Austin, Plano and Fredericksburg)

how does that fit into your stereotype?
