Austin’s Hot Spots

Posted by Tina · March 28th, 2008

As my spring break came to a close, my little sister’s was just starting. She’s 17, lives in a suburb of Ft. Worth, and had no big plans because of protective parents, homework, gymnastics practice, and work. So being the amazing sister that I am, I arranged to have her come spend a couple days in Austin with me.

She’s a high schooler and I’m a clean cut kid, so no 6th Street. The weather was awful, so that took out outdoor things at Zilker Park or Barton Springs. Having shallow college student pockets, we couldn’t do anything too extravagant. And of course time was limited, Tina and Kristybecause I still had to go to class and my amazing internship. Being an Austin immigrant, I didn’t really know what to do.

We ended up having her do homework during the day, and then going to Toy Joy and Kerbey Lane the first night, and the UT campus, Pangaea, and Madam Mam’s the second. We had a great time, but it got me wondering what other places were fun but maybe obscure in Austin. If you’re having problems figuring out what to do or where to take guests in this diverse, unique city of ours, check out this video we made for SXSW visitors:
