Hi hi! This is my personal guide to Austin (it’s still growing, so bear with me 🥹). These are the places I return to again and again. They’re spots that always hit, whether I’m looking for good food, fresh air, or just a little joy in my day. Every ...

Fresh Air, Furry Friends & Family Time: Austin Parks We Love

These are the parks I return to when I need a break, a breath, or just a little time outside. They’re calm, easygoing, and always exactly what I need. Sometimes it’s a solo walk. Other times I want to sit by the water or on a bench nearby watching my...

If you enjoy hiking or going on long strolls, or simply want to be around water, this is such a beautiful park to visit! There are hiking trails, several areas to take a dip, and hidden waterfalls that are so wonderful to experience!! The trails give...

St. Edwards Greenbelt

Peaceful spot loved by Austinites. Free to enter and free parking, as well. I bring a beach towel, large umbrella and lay on the grass to just chill. You can bring a tent if that's easier for you. Though I've never used them, there's a sand volleybal...

Commons Ford Ranch Metropolitan Park

Such a fun family friendly park. If you're thinking of ways to keep your kids occupied especially this summer, bring them here. They have lots of play areas with swings, slides, stairs, and other activities. I'd encourage you to bring your own trash ...

Alliance Children's Garden

This might be one of my favorite Farmers Markets in atx! It's easy to get to even if you don't drive - a quick walk from the 800 or 10 bus. It's a year round Sunday market with fresh produce and artisan goods from local farmers and vendors. I typical...

Austin Eats I’m Always Craving

Sharing some of my favorite places to eat in Austin Texas! Whether it’s for a solo date or you’re hanging with family or friends, I’m sure there’ll be something for you here :)

My mouth is watering right now as I think of All Day's pizza! Both the pepperoni and house cheese pizza are so flavorful, I find myself smacking my lips whenever I eat there! I'm not a huge stracciatella fan but if you like fresh and creamy cheese, y...

Allday Pizza: Tarrytown

Adding this here because it's an Austin fave, very cherished pizza place. It's good pizza you just want to eat anytime, any day. I wouldn't say it's the best I've had in Austin (please don't fight me haha) but it's certainly worth recommending!

Home Slice Pizza

I went here with my friends last year and we had a blast! We went with one of the all you can eat dinner options, which I honestly feel is so worth it and saves you money. Tasty food, surprisingly decent pricing for Kbbq, and a quiet enough atmospher...

K BBQ Austin | All-You-Can-Eat Korean Barbecue

This is hands down my favorite spot for a solo date. I usually go on a weekday when I’m off, either late morning or late afternoon. In my humble opinion, those are the best times to visit. It’s usually quiet, with plenty of seating, and the atmospher...

The Pho - Vietnamese Food

Cups of Comfort in the City

This hidden café-bar-patio-food-truck mashup is Simona’s at the Colton House Hotel. It’s a gem in Austin and perfect for quiet work or study days. I’d suggest you get the tacos (so filling, and you get a set of 5, which you can share or eat alone lik...

Simona's Coffee + Cocktails

Café crème is one of my favorite cafés in Austin and not for the reasons you might think. Sure, the food is nice (my usual order is the turkey pesto sandwich on Rosemary salt bagel and this comes with chips on the side) and they have a vegan chocolat...

Café Crème - Oltorf

🦞 Where I Buy Fresh Seafood in Austin

If I’m not stopping by an Asian grocery store, Quality Seafood Market is an incredible choice. Some may say this is one of the freshest in Austin! I was influenced to drop in here after I saw a Reddit post saying that the seafood arrives in under 24 ...

Quality Seafood Market

MT is of my favorite markets in Austin and certainly a great option for seafood! It’s located in China Town and accessible by bus. I go with my parents and we get live catfish, which is then cut up for us. We also get salmon and crocker from there at...

MT Supermarket

Central Market is another great option for seafood - they even have live lobsters! Everything here is terribly expensive, though, so arm yourself. The positive is that they have good quality items so you’re bound to have a fresh and tasty meal.

Central Market

Another place to check out if you’re looking for live or fresh seafood! If you plan on pairing your trip with regular grocery shopping, I do find MT supermarket superior to this one 🫣

Hana World Market

If h mart wasn’t on this list wouldn’t you have been surprised? You can get delicious seafood from here; I’d say the prices are reasonable but I still prefer MT supermarket or Quality Seafood Market.
