You two are adorable together!!❤❤ It's sweet to see a married couple just enjoying hanging out together.
I've been living in Austin for a year now and I feel like I will forever be exploring the city lol.
I used to live in Austin and wanted to send some kudos for suggesting such a great itinerary! It was nice to see so many of my favorite places (Cosmic! Radio!). Thanks for the morning nostalgia 💕
I lived in Austin for 20 years…I’m all about the swimming holes, creeks and hundreds of miles of trails.
Not anymore. Austin is now over-populated, traffic is hell on earth, and all the old places I used to fish or collect fossils are all fenced off with no trespassing signs everywhere
@@Noodleydoo I’m a pretty hardcore trail runner and I went to spots I’d rarely see anyone or maybe just a few people. Jester trails, the waterfalls and giant swimming hole at Inga’s Trail, Lakeway, Steiner, side trails off Riverplace, etc. Not just referring to Twin/Sculpture Falls and the Greenbelt.
@@ericjenkins2737 Hey, just ten years ago most of that was still here but now it is completely changed. We have become San Francisco. It's so damned sad.
@@Noodleydoo I was there not that long ago…the only thing I know from what I listed that’s seen development is the Lakeway trail system but there are still tons of trails there…and the swimming hole is still there as well.
Keep Austin Weird! 🥸
City is beautiful!
I wish there are more channels like yours, which brings the world to my doorstep. Always happy after watching one of your videos. It's so great! 😁
Right? He's so upbeat, even if he is pointing out a negative about a place. I always feel happier after watching his videos!
For you Quentin Tarantino fans walk across from the Texas Capitol building to Texas Chili Parlor. It's the bar and restaurant where Death Proof was filmed. The bar where Stuntman Mike meets his victims.
Always love watching your vids man. Beautifully filmed, and with a wholesome feel to it.
Please come down to Austin and visit us y'all. We're hospitable and friendly folk. BUT DON'T MOVE HERE 😂
Lol why?
@@firefly9838 Pretty much used to be the city's tagline about a decade ago. The appeal of a small town, affordable living, good jobs, drastically changed as people started moving here in droves
as a fellow SoCal, the YETI roadie 24 is worth it, light enough to carry by one person, great to keep in the car too, for when you buying grocery in the summer, or short trips, keep stuff cold, great to have cold drinks for those 1-2 hour trips, cold snacks etc. Great for beach, etc.
Good to know, I will look that one up! Thanks for the tip
When you said Austin I immediately thought of Torchy’s. I love that place so much. I’m surprised that a donut lover like yourself didnt visit Gourdough’s. Huge donuts with fun and different flavors. I appreciate the Buc-ees hat👍🏼
Torchy's is so good haha. I did go to Gourdough's while there but just not in this video 😂
@@ThroughMyLens haha well next time then. And I wish the closest torchy’s to us wasn’t in Phoenix
Torchy’s is my favorite taco spot in Texas! I live in Houston and I eat there all the time!!! Great pick!
That's a city I've never been to, but, as usual, you piqued my interest. I love the way you show us diverse, eclectic places, and have not only done your homework, but also give us honest appraisals. another great one... Thank you both.
🛣 🤗👏👏
So glad you like the videos. I appreciate your thoughtful comments on them as well!
From my observation, people who visit Austin from far distances are usually there for business trips
This is the Austin that I once loved. Thanks for this vid. I'm not writing the city off any longer because of you. I left Texas for Arizona in 2000 and came back 15 years later. Austin was not what I remembered. I'm now in a rural no city place outside of Waco now. Haven't touched Austin other than the airport and was dearly scared and disappointed so never hung around as I used to. Gotta find me a local guide and spend a day or two and all these spots, I def want to hit!
You had another fun trip. I could almost smell that BBQ.
Love the bucees hat! 😆
Got to love their banana pudding fudge 🦫
I’m glad you two got to get out and do some “adulting” ! Haha. Thanks for another fun video.
Yay for Amy eating meat again!! 🎉❤ Thank you for showing the bat colony. That will be a must-do for me! Another awesome video, well done 😊
Thank you for sharing this video. When I was there, I hadn't seen the bats. Thanks to you, I have seen them. Austin has changed in a better way. Love your videos.
so sweet guys,,i want to live in the USA in general and i love Texas....greetings from greece!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰
Your trips are getting dangerous; pops gets abducted by aliens and Amy gets caught by King Kong! That BBQ spread looks delicious.
haha I know, what will happen next!?
@@ThroughMyLensWell, if you decide to visit Tokyo, you might encounter the giant statue of Godzilla in Shinjuku, making a complete trilogy for monster encounters! 😂
I'm so glad I moved to Austin in 2016!!
Very cool Buc ee's hat. Austin looks like an interesting place to visit. Thanks for the upload.
I’m on the second ad (haven’t watched the vid yet) bro I live in Austin lol
Really enjoyed this video of the time you guys spent there 😊
So glad you liked it, thanks for the comment!
I love it when you go to art museums. Keep it going 👍
That’s cool video bro from Austin I have only been to San Antonio and Houston Texas
Another great video. Loved watching you and Amy explore this unique city. But the Bucee's hat! What, no Bucee's video from Through my Lens? :)
I'll be in Austin for three days ,thank you for the informative video.
The history museum looks interesting, if you like weird collections, then House on the Rock in Wisconsin is a must see, give yourself 6 hours and there is a restaurant inside.
There’s a great show through June 2023 called Aerotic Soirée. It’s a burlesque style aerial show. Small cast in a small venue, but really unique.
Thanks for sharing another wonderful video like always 👍🤗
Great tour! We had a trip planned in 2020 that we had to cancel. I had never heard about the bats, crazy and cool!
my city just sooo😍
New subscriber here but longtime viewer. Great vlog as always! I love how you cover different things and also different parts of town. When I was in Austin, we went to a place called Chuy's, which had excellent Tex-Mex food. Looking forward to the next one! 😎
Awesome, Thank you for sharing
One day we were in Palm Springs swimming in a pool at night. And bats started to dive in and out of the pool. It was crazy! So yeah, I’m scared of bats 🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇😅 But, as always, great video (bats included) 🙌🏽
Oh wow, I like seeing bats like this, not diving in the pool at me haha
Austin California
That was fun!!
Good times
Great Video! 💫
You should cover the area in between Dallas and Fort Worth - Arlington and such. I'm new to this area and am amazed how much is "in between" the two major cities.
Thats so funny Amy came back to meat from being a vegetarian. My wife did the same thing.
Yea, I was shocked when she told me she was going to start eating meat again haha
@@ThroughMyLensI’m very impressed by Amy. Good for her!!
Looks like fun!
We had a great time, cool city for sure
Cosmic Coffee is my favorite
I loved visiting the Capitol. Well, the food was always pretty doggone great.
Made Me Hungry.
I once read a comparison of Yeti vs other brands, and the Walmart Ozark Trail brand was just as good at a third of the price. I've never looked back.
Nice video.
Right next door to Uncommon Objects is the Austin Aquadome which looks just like Patrick Star's house, and is worth a look if you like aquariums/fish. Surprised that the Cathredral of Junk didn't make the list, but I'm not sure if it is still open to the public.
Sometimes you need an umbrella for the bat watching because of all the poop!
Broken Spoke is a really cool place but hardly the "oldest" Dance Hall....Gruene (pronounced "Green") Hall is in New Bruansfels..
Good to know, thanks for sharing!
He never said it was the oldest .
Maaan, I cannot believe I was in Austin for a weekend, and all I did was get drunk and be hungover.
Amy, what made you change from vegetarian back to omnivore? I’ve been pescatarian for 4 years and now I’m back also.
0:49 - Time to start paying attention to details in your footage.
Not falling for bbq meat again. Because of your bbq videos of the Hill Country, Dallas, and Fort Worth, I bought 2.6 lbs of brisket, 1 lb of baby back ribs, 1 lb of sausage at Rudy's BBQ in Round Rock Texas. The fat from the meats made me nauseous. I threw out almost all of the meat after I sampled each. I'm sticking to filet mignon when beef is my choice. I'm won't eat beef cheeks or any other bbq meat at Leroy and Lewis nor anywhere else. Your videos made the bbq look delicious.
Rudy’s isn’t bbq!
You might wanna get your pancreas checked out, could be first signs
I occasionally eat egg & chicken. But currently trying to cut down that also and be vegetarian. I appreciate Amy for being vegetarian for 9 years,
But is there any reason why back to non veg? just curious, no judging though.
Because MEAT tastes good AND is good for you. You can't get ANY protein better than beef/chicken/fish and you LOOK healthy. I bet you look a little GRAY like all the weirdos that hang around Whole Foods.
It's not "non veg" it's PRO meat because its good for you. Ask any "normal" doctor.
She said she felt that there were a lot of nutrients she was missing out on, especially after pregnancy. Plus, she wanted the kids to have some specific meat and didn’t want to have to have a different meal for herself. It took her about 6 months to finally decide she wanted to do it.
@@ThroughMyLens Good for her and your KIDS especially. Can't imagine any kid being deprived of hamburgers and hot dogs once in awhile..
@@ThroughMyLensthis is why I’m impressed with Amy. Their is this thought that vegetarian is somehow better and if you were to revert you would get criticized. She made a well thought out decision and I’m happy for her. You guys are a great couple!!
This is what I’d do in Austin if I was:
A liberal?
Pls do more videos with ur dad😊
Lots more coming up with my dad for sure
06:11 Bro, did you say "mushroom latte"????
1000X better than Dallas right? Hope you do San Antonio. 1 . The Alamo 2. Walk the Missions Trail 3. Take a Riverwalk cruise. 4. Eat cheese enchiladas at Mi Tierra (open 24/7) Market Square (and shop for lots of Mexican stuff).
I did like it better than Dallas haha. Def have a video on San Antonio for the future
Austin is great for young folks or homeless, but Dallas-Fort area is where it's at. However, I do love watching Austin's professional sports at their facilities... wait.
@@MasterBlaster-nz3uv "Dallas-Fort Worth" is a HUGE area with FAR difference in towns and neighborhoods. Ft. Worth is where the West begins and Dallas is where the East peters out...The best areas to live are in west and southwest Fort Worth and even west into Parker County. Worst areas are Dallas to the east and south/southeast. Anything north is just a lot of concrete and freeways and REALLY generic neighborhoods.
@@steveludwig4200good
Info. Thanks👍
It is the largest state Capitol building. It rivals the size of the US Capitol
YETI NO WAY. Buy an original Igloo cooler (invented in Texas) for about 10% of the cost and spend the rest on drinks and ice!
Haha Thanks for the info!
Where's Franklins BBQ?? 🤨
Tesla & SpaceX
Yukon Outfitters is better than yeti
Native Austinite here. There are some cool spots for sure but once you live here it is all about social status and clout which is annoying. Now, I can't wait to leave.
Uh, no way. Yeti is NOT worth the price haha. Ridiculous. For the price of one Yeti cooler, you can get two coolers that have literal refrigeration WITH a legit compressor, all powered by rechargeable battery packs for drills and drivers.
Is Amy single ?
Thanks!
No problem!
I live here. If yall looking for amazing brunch spots I’d try out Mattie’s, forthright, snooze and Geraldine’s
Where is Pops?
