My Favorite Place To Go in Austin

The street buzzes with noise as you finally make it out of the big parking garage behind Guero’s Taco Bar. The hot afternoon sun hits you with a tingling sensation. This wonderful place is called South Congress.

South Congress is one of my favorite places to go in Austin. It’s a street full of amazing restaurants, cute shops and boutiques, a venue for music, and a bright green sign loved for pictures. If you go down to SoCo, you must be sure to make a day of it.  Starting with lunch. One of my favorite places to eat is Guero’s. I’ve been eating there since before I could say “taco”. It also has the venue for music and I love sitting outside with friends and dancing–while eating some Tex Mex of course!

Next I shop at Kendra Scott. The jewelry there is just the thing to make a girl smile. The earrings gleam from their holders and the custom bar whispers a purchase. The brightly painted walls add to the excitement of it all. The Toy Store is also very fun to go to, bringing back the memory of the time I accidentally took a finger puppet home forgetting it was on my finger. And apologizing–I was so embarrassed!

The perfect way to end the day is taking pictures in front of the big green sign that has the words “I love you so much” spray painted on it. It’s a cute picture to have of you and your friends. All smiles from the wonderful day. “Cheese!”

So if your ever in Austin that’s my favorite place to go! And it might be yours too! So check out the buzzing SoCo!

    I love SoCo! It’s so unique… there really isn’t another place like it. I really like Hey Cupcake! It’s soooo good! This composition is extremely well written and describes SoCo perfectly!
