our ultimate austin list

our ultimate austin list

We live in Austin. Quirky, fun, beautiful Austin. There’s so much here that I finally decided to put together a list + keep track of things we want to eat, see and do. We’ve accomplished quite a few things as denoted by the double arrows. However, there’s lots more for us to cross off. This list is loosely categorized to meets our needs, and I expect this list to grow as we learn of new [to us] places.  I’ll come back to this post to edit + cross items off as we go.

So tell me. Do you have any suggestions for places we should add to our ultimate Austin list?

    This is a great list! I’ve eaten at several of these places (have family that lives in Austin, but we don’t), and gotta say GO TO FRANKLIN’S! And go early. :)
