hey i live here in austin. hill country weavers is having a knit bloggers knit and knosh deal on sunday from 11-1 if you are interested. sadly, it is our only yarn store.

for seriously one of the best burgers in the world, casino el camino on 6th street is the spot. also a great mix of customers, staff, and great juke box. for good pizza – homeslice on south congress. south congress is where hill country is located and close by are all kinds of hip fun shops. also, magnolia cafe is down the street another austin institution – open 24 hours for all kinds of good grub. joe’s coffee is great for sitting out and people watching. hope that helps!! have fun, it’s a great city but it’s too warm already.

You must go to the bar in the Driskill hotel. My goal is to be a rich writer who lives in the hotel and has a night cap in the bar every evening. Seriously, it is old-school fantastic Texas.

Having never been to Austin, I can't offer any direct advice, but you might try checking out I Blame the Patriarchy. She used to be a food critic, so interspersed amongst the patriarchy-bashing are some comments on Austin restaurants and photos of some of their offerings.
