Great place to visit! I hear the traffic is getting ugly though. I'm planning a trip back to visit in Feb or March.

Look around and pick up an Austin Chronicle to learn who's playing in town. Good music everynight for cheap or nothin.

The club drag down 6th street is kinda spring break mentality-not that that cant be fun for the right person, but I'd say head to Congress Ave instead.
On south Congress is my fav spot- Continental Club- anything, anyone playing there is well worth a listen. Great place. Lots of great places. they have great music at happy hour and later for the night. Joes coffee is down the street. Junk stores, go buy some Boots.
Right downtown (north of town lake) on Congress is Tesoros Trading Co - funky stuff- mexican folk medicine, virgin mary gear shift knobs, Haitian voodoo flags...and right next door is Las Manitas- a breakfast regular joint. On same street is the Elephant bar, for jazz.
Still downtown, just eastward, is the Iron Works BBQ. They have all the meats, but I think their chicken is the best.
Stubbs too is good, and generally has great music going on at night.

If youre looking for the country thing, Go dance at the Broken Spoke on South Lamar. or if you have time and wheels head out to Gruene to the dance hall there. lots of fun. maybe Willie will pop in.

Good food:
Guerros- marinated chicken tacos on fresh corn tortillas. I dream about them. Or Breakfast tacos there with good ruta maya coffee. Damn.

Shady Grove, over by Barton Springs has green chilie cheese fries. also the stuff of my dreams. they'll make you a chicken fried steak.

theres a ton of things to do. have fun! I cant wait to visit again!
