A Day in the Life in Urban Austin - What's Austin really like?
Want to know what it’s like to live in Austin? It’s a bit different from other cities, so come with me as we explore some of the things you could do in a day in Austin. From early morning coffee runs to late-night bar scenes, join me as I show you the best spots in this vibrant city.
Start of the Day:
We begin our day with a walk around Lady Bird Lake, taking in the amazing views of downtown Austin. This 10-mile uninterrupted trail is perfect for walking, running, or biking. It’s also a great spot for paddleboarding, kayaking, and rowing. Austin is a very active city, and you’ll find people outside most of the time.
Exercise or Recreation:
Walking or biking the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail, you'll see paddleboard rentals and people enjoying the lake. It’s a fantastic way to spend the morning.
Breakfast or Coffee:
Our first stop for breakfast is at Paperboy. Located in Central Austin, Paperboy is a favorite for breakfast and brunch. With a gorgeous rooftop patio and a walk-up window for coffee, it’s a great way to start the day.
Activity 1:
After breakfast, we head to the Mueller Farmers Market. This vibrant market is open every Sunday and features local vendors selling fresh produce, artisanal goods, and delicious snacks. It’s a wonderful way to spend the morning exploring local Austin flavors and supporting local farmers.
Lunch:
For lunch, we pop over to Fareground, a new popular spot in downtown Austin. With a variety of eateries like Little Wu and Austin Rotisserie, it’s perfect for a quick and delicious bite.
Activity 2:
The day continues with a visit to the 2nd Street District for some boutique shopping. This area is known for its eclectic mix of shops, from clothing and jewelry to home decor. After shopping, we head to the Austin Public Library downtown. This stunning building features a rooftop patio with amazing views of the city and Lady Bird Lake. It’s a perfect spot to relax and unwind with a good book.
Dinner:
As the day winds down, we explore the vibrant South Congress area, known for its diverse dining options and lively atmosphere. From upscale spots like Perla's to casual eateries like Home Slice Pizza, there’s something for every taste. The unique ambiance of South Congress makes it a must-visit for any foodie.
Late Night/Bar Scene:
The night isn’t complete without experiencing Austin’s nightlife on South Congress. From casual bars to live music venues like the Continental Club, South Congress offers a rich variety of late-night activities. If you prefer a more relaxed evening, check out Watertrade or Hotel San Jose.
Outro:
Well, that’s it for this day in my life living in urban Austin. Let me know in the comments which place is your favorite.

      This is what I saw: 1 living room; 1 dining room; 1 kitchen with 1 breakfast nook, 1 island, 1 peninsula countertop; 1 family room; 1 jungle gym; 1 swimming pool with soaking spa; 1 removable child’s playhouse sitting on a small sunning patio often used for additional seating. I’d be very unimpressed with a real estate agent who tries to convince me, as a buyer, that I’m getting “two of everything.” Oooh…..I’ll bet there’s even a 2-car garage, although a house this size usually has a 3-car garage. The “two of everything” certainly doesn’t extend to the rest of the house, as there’s at least 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.

    The good old "more money than sense" special... Thats going to fuck your power and water bill filling that to any usable level daily... Also, masive waste of actually usable bench space for a "built in" cutting board that is recessed. One of the key things with a cutting board it it raises the food up away from your counter, and is proud of the rest of the work surface....

    • @matt.vanwinkle
      @matt.vanwinkle Місяць тому

      You have some valid points there! Investing in a feature like a built-in cutting board does come with its drawbacks, especially if it's not designed with practicality in mind. You're absolutely right about the potential impact on utility bills and the inefficient use of bench space. A cutting board should indeed elevate food off the counter, providing a convenient and hygienic workspace. A recessed design might not achieve that effectively. Perhaps a more thoughtful approach to kitchen design could balance convenience and functionality better. Ensuring that each feature serves its purpose without compromising usability or efficiency is key. Thanks for sharing your insights!
