Absolutely beautiful restaurant with best margs in town. I go right a 5pm because I don't like crowds, i sit in the bar and get the queso fundido with pablono peppers. For dinner I get the camerones in pablono cream sauce. Its semi expensive but worth it.

Parks & Nature
Its the soul of Austin, take a beach towel, a book or magazine, sit behind the diving board and watch people, read and jump into icy cold water when you get too hot. Afterwards go get margaritas and queso in your bathing suit (with tshirt and shorts over it) Then check out some live music.

If you like to run/walk this is a fun place to do it because there are so many other people on the trail and it wraps around the Colorado river. There is a 2 mile loop that goes past the Stevie Ray Vaughan statue, a 3 mile loop, that goes past Austin High and Zilker Park. Other longer loops too.
