[phaux]

Mangia's Pizza, get the deep dish Chicago style, it will blow your mind!

had juans for breakfast. charizo and egg taco was the best I've had. had one with eggs, potatoes, bacon and carne asada that was fantastic. my nephew wanted cheese dip and he liked it so much we got some to go. he's a chicken tender, hamburger, corn dog type of kid and actually liked his taco

not even close

It's raining down here today/tomorrow. Take the kid to the Capitol

Go to the Bob Bullock Texas History museum on 19th, that's fun for all ages

Go to the Hula Hut for an early dinner. The lake will be chill, serene today. Afterwards, go down below the dam to the Red Bud Isle dog park & walk around. Dog shit smell should be minimal, all washed in to the lake; beauty is on tap.

Go hang out on the John Pfluger pedestrian bridge for sunset (adjacent to S. Lamar), or the Congress Ave bridge if the bats are flying at dusk. If the clouds part, we'll get an awesome sunset. If not, it's still an interesting place to be.

Get your drinks on the west side of 6th street, west of Congress. E. 6th is now "dirty 6th", a sure bet if you're out after midnight & looking for trouble. You'll find it there.

I'm about 10 minutes away from there right now, and I won't be going there. It's THAT good.

There's a little garage on Monroe, just west of S. 1st (Monroe runs all the way to S. Congress), and it has a small sign on it advertising itself as the hotrod museum, or something. Some SICK customs in there. Drive over & knock on the door, if the gate is open, see what's in there.

Also, you can swing by Austin Speed Shop, there are impromtu gatherings in the parking lot on occasion, from what I gather.

really? it was in front of the Dell Diamond, and a 5 min drive from the in-law's house, and I thought it was more of a "meh" place.

Ok, I think we've established that some people think Salt Lick is phenomenal and some think it's average.

The one at Dell diamond does not cook anything in house. It's delivered daily from the driftwood location. Same as the one in the airport there
