"Rob and I recently went down to Austin to visit our son Dylan who is a Sophomore at the University of Texas. Austin is such a fun and vibrant city - thankfully, our fellow Texans and UT parents recommended some fabulous places so we could experience all the city has to offer. If you’re planning an Austin getaway, check out these highly recommended places to eat, party and visit. Hook ‘em!”
For classic BBQ:
You just can't go to Austin without getting the best barbecue in the country!
Terry Blacks, Franklin’s and Cooper's Old Tyme BBQ.
For dinner:
P6 at the LINE Austin - This place has a great atmosphere and is always a family favorite.
Aba - Delicious Mediterranean food and a laid back vibe.
Iron Cactus - A super fun and lively tacos and tequila spot.
For dessert:
Gourdough’s Big Fat Donuts - The name says it all!
UT Tailgate and Football Game - There is nothing like the energy of Texas football, and Austin tailgates don’t mess around!!
The Cat’s Pajamas - the go-to spot in Austin for late night fun and dancing.
The Roosevelt Room - Good spot for after hours
Yellow Jacket Social Club - Great for post-tailgate drinks with other UT parents.
Soco and 2nd Street District are great areas to shop. These great boutiques all carry Ramy Brook!
