Ask HN: What do I check out in Austin?

1 points by Killah911 13y ago ↗ HN

I'm considering moving to a more tech heavy city. Austin and Si Valley are on the list. So I decided to fly to Austin this long weekend and check the city out. Already did the food trucks and walked around downtown a bit.

Where can I check out more of the tech/startup culture?

Sorta anti-tech, but if you have the urge to watch a movie, this place sounds fun: http://boingboing.net/2011/06/07/movie-theater-turns.html

Zilker Park. Barton Springs. 6th Street. Brushy Creek. Torchy's Tacos. Rudy's BBQ. Hula Hut. Carlos & Charlies on Lake Travis. The Iguana Grill, also on Lake Travis, home of the world's best salsa. Threadgill's Downtown. Waterloo Records. Whole Foods downtown. The Captial. Alamo Draft House. UT Campus. Fonda San Miguel.

The Capitol Factory would be a good place. They help startups and have a coworking space. They also host most of the Tech meetups in the city. The only thing is they probably arent open this weekend.

Im also a fan of the East side so you can find food trucks there, lots of great bars, and of course live music (White Horse is a must). Check out www.do512.com and you can find some of the fun music happenings around town.
