๐ What Iโd Do With 48 Hours in Austin (Adult Edition) ๐ธ๐ถ๐ฎ
Letโs say youโve got just one weekend to soak in Austin. Hereโs how Iโd make the most of itโwith a little bit of chill, a lot of food, and just enough chaos to keep it spicy:
1. Start at Radio Coffee & Beer โ๐บ
Because why choose between caffeine and alcohol? Grab a taco from Veracruz and sit under the oaks. This place screams Austin.
2. Walk it off on South Congress ๐๏ธ๐ถ
Iconic shops, funky murals, and โpeople watchingโ on another level. Stop by Allenโs Boots, grab a drink at Hotel San Josรฉ, and take that โI love you so muchโ selfie. You know the one.
3. Do Barton Springs the Right Way ๐ฆ๐ถ๏ธ
Pack a blanket, BYO drinks (no glass), and chill like a local. Pro tip: Cold plunge first, then nap in the sun. Reset your nervous system and your vibe.
4. Cocktails with a View at P6 ๐น๐
That rooftop at The LINE Hotel? Absolutely worth it. Get there before sunset and order the house margarita. Thank me later.
5. Late Dinner at Suerte or Loro ๐ฎ๐ฅ
Modern Mexican or Asian smokehouse? Flip a coin, because both slap. Suerte for upscale tacos and mezcal; Loro for brisket with a twist and chill patio vibes.
6. Hit the East Side Bars ๐ป๐ง
Midnight Cowboy (if you like speakeasies), Whislerโs (if you like mezcal), or Hotel Vegas (if you like hipsters dancing badly to live music). Choose your adventure.
7. Hangover Brunch at Launderette ๐ณ๐ฅ
Retro diner meets high-end brunch. The fried oysters and champagne combo is oddly healing. Trust.
8. Scoot Around Town on an Electric Bike or Vespa ๐ต๐บ๏ธ
Itโs not Europe, but it feels like it. Ride through Zilker, across the pedestrian bridge, and along the boardwalk trail. Bonus: you look cool doing it.
9. Catch Live Music (Duh) ๐ธ๐ค
Mohawk, Antoneโs, or ACL Liveโjust see something. Itโs Austin law. Doesnโt matter whoโs playing. It always hits.
10. Wind Down With a Sunset at Mount Bonnell ๐
๐ท
Bring a bottle of wine and take in the skyline. Youโll get that quiet moment to say, โDamn, I get it now.โ
Thatโs my version of 48 hours in Austin. What would you add or swap out?
