Food Scene

AMAZING Japanese food and drinks. Try the ramen, street style corn, or try the BBQ Boat. The fried chicken bites (Karaage) are killer too.

Texas BBQ can't get much better than this! Get there early to if you want to avoid a line. As good as Franklin's, in our opinion, and (slightly) shorter line. Plus its super close. Its *inside* the Quickie Pickie.

A beautiful building and grounds. Make sure and try the French 75 cocktail and mussels for dinner. This is one of our absolute favorites. Great late night place for food, drinks, and COOL. The website is very french (read: slightly naughty!) This place is sexy, cool, and delicious.

Interesting and tasty menu, delicious cocktails. Located in a cool recently remodeled motorcylce shop. It's a short walk for an upscale place with nice atmosphere. We haven't sat in the dining room, just at the bar for a small dinner and cocktails. The staff and manager were great

Really awesome pizzas, classic pizza house. Pick up a pie, it's a super short walk, or sit in and jam to some metal or punk while some pizza dudes 'n pizza chicks sling pies. Arcade games, pizza, beer, soda fountain, rock. A slice of heaven.

Great spot for a hike down to the Colorado River. You aren't technically supposed to, but you'll probably see some folks wading or swimming in the river. We wont tell you not to, but it is JUST down stream from a big city.... so....

A short walk for delicious sour mash beer from a local brewery. Sour mash beer has a distinctive taste, and we really love sitting in the tiny outside space. Purchase a glass, which you take home, and taste. We recommend "Spirit Animal"
