A tiny, wonderful, and wonderfully close green grocery with local and organic produce, meats, dairy, dry goods, coffee, and more. Converting into a co-op model. Really excited about this place!

A standard, full-fledged grocery store. It's almost always crowded, and the checkout lines are usually long, but it'll have whatever you need.

This store and its owners kick ass. It's the size of a convenience store, but it offers a much wider selection of goods. Converted their parking spaces on Congress into a "parklet" w/tables & chairs.

Food Scene

Delicious, slightly upscale food that sources many ingredients from their very own garden. The acorn squash with ginger soy sauce is YUM. Located in an lovely old house, making it cozy-yet-airy.

Good food and even better happy hours! Their margaritas are STRONG and tasty, and many appetizers (1/2 off during happy hour) could fill you up. Great patio for meeting up with friends.

Best pizza in town, IMHO. Tons of specialty pies and locally-sourced ingredients to choose from, including vegetarian and vegan options. The Guiche is to die for. Buy a slice or a whole pie.

Drinks & Nightlife

Fun schoolhouse-themed pub, as one might guess from its name. What you might not guess is how reasonable their prices are given how good their food and drinks are. Highly recommended.

A bakery, restaurant, and beer garden, all rolled into one. Delicious sausages. Cool patio space overlooking Waller Creek. Ping-pong tables. Big glasses of wine. Love this place for happy hour.

Sightseeing

It's the one and only Texas Capitol! What else do you need to know? ;) There are regular free tours, so check that out if you're interested. The building and grounds are beautiful.
