Food Scene

While they do a killer pre-fixe dinner, I love going for lunch, and the menu is pretty affordable. They do some fun takes on classics, using local game like venison and boar in unexpected way (think kimchi venison hot dogs). The menu changes seasonally.

Really charming food trailer making fresh pasta on the patio of Butterfly Bar. Grab a drink inside and chill while you wait for your food (it will take a minute, it's fresh!).

Dinner can be spendy, but happy hour and lunch are more affordable and equally delicious. They update their menu seasonally.

Drinks & Nightlife

Laid-back inside, but can probably make you any drink you want. They have rotating frozen specialty cocktails, the Bee's Knees is a favorite. They also have decent (huge) pizzas for late night eating.

Parks & Nature

It's a paved trail that goes all the way up to Manor, most used by cyclists, but easy enough for a casual walk as well. There's a small greenbelt trail towards the entrance also.

The Greenbelt in Austin has a few swimming spots and many entrances and ways to hike. Twin Falls is one of my favorite swim spots. You can reach it by parking at Lost Creek or on the access road at Mopac & 360. Either way you'll have to hike a bit, but that's part of the fun.

Essentials

HEB is a much loved local chain, for it's selection and good prices. The one at Mueller is a little further from the house, but has the best selection of international, organic, and fresh produce. Worth the little extra time.
