if you're in texas (and you're a carnivore) you have to eat BBQ!!! try Rudy's BBQ- it's a gas station and restaurant in one. its great! if you have even more time, go to Saltlick which is in outskirts of austin (quite a drive out), but you can get the BBQ All-you-can-eat. you've never seen so much meat in your life.

OH! for the holidays, go see Trail of Lights! its at Zilker park . they light up every friggin tree there with all kinds of lights. very fun to go with friends/family/or significant other. there's also the 37th Street Lights - i never saw this but wish i did.  they decorate weird stuff like putting christmas lights on dryers and washers in the front yard! what can i say? "keep austin weird" is the motto!

for typical touristy stuff there is the blanton museum, TX state capitol, and the UT Tower for a great view of the campus.  

4th-6th street is where night life is at... clubs, bars, restaurants, etc. most college night life and night life period is there.  i wasn't much of a bar hopper but they also have art galleries along those streets in downtown and you can visit art galleries at night.  

 oh- and if you like vintage stores, check out s. congress, it has a plethora of vintage stores and local shops that aren't your typical commercial stores. if you want to go outlet shopping you can try san marcos (30 miles south of austin).
