This is Austin's prize, and one of the reasons I live here. Swimming in this spring fed pool will rejuvenate your entire being. Located in Zilker Park. Please don't bring food in, as it will attract ants. I recommend parking on the Robert E. Lee side. Especially magical at night.

Food Scene
This wonderful, vegetarian cafe has "Austin" written all over it. Very artsy, relaxed and yummy food. Great beer selection. Very popular for weekend breakfast, so expect a wait then. Great coffee! One of my favorite wi-fi hang outs near the bar.

Best coffee on S. Congress. Or a cold beer. Wonderfully open patio to take your dog and people watch. And you must get your picture taken in front of the famous "I love you so much" wall!

Part ice cream shop, part entertainment! The folks behind the ice cream counter dress in silly costumes and have fun while mixing crushed delights into your ice cream, tossing it all into the air! An Austin fave.

Essentials
Central Market is about FOOD. This is where I do my grocery shopping because they have the best produce, and really everything else you need to make a great meal. Every section is a feast. Good cafe as well, with live music Thursdays through Sundays evenings.

I learned to row here. A wonderful group of folks who rent kayaks, stand up paddle boards (SUP), canoes and skull boats. A great way to see the city! Summer months on the first Friday of a full moon, they sponsor a Latino Serenade on the water. Imagine a live latino band on a motored raft, the sunset, a full moon, the Austin skyline and you on the water in your kayak. Nothin' better.
