The homeless are abundant and aggressive and kind of a buzzkill.
The place is a giant bar, we were in town for a week staying in Lake Travis and had planned on driving in each day to explore more of the city. We ended up going out into Hill Country and had a great time exploring cool little towns out there.
If you have time and like Whiskey about 1 hours drive west on some nice roads in Andalusia Whiskey Co., you can only buy their whiskey in Texas (last time I was there that was the case) I wished I bought more.

The hill country has many many vinyards too with tasting rooms and damn good wine. I was impressed but I am no expert. I prefer Whiskey.
We ate at an Asian place in downtown Austin that was amazing, furthermore we were one of a few tables with white people at them, the rest were all Asian so it had to be legit. I will find out the name of it and post later after I ask my wife. |
We only had one incident with an aggressive pan handler in the years we have visited (during an IT conference). Told him I don't carry cash and he said he cries a little bit every time he hears someone say that as they walk past an ATM. Our 9 year old blurts out that we didn't pass any ATM machine. Guy said smart kid and walked off.
I forgot about the stuff SW of town. Our boy loved the military museum.
