"| When the weather is not blazing hot or at the point of freezing, Austin has a plethora of excellent patio dining spots. Since 2013, Contigo has been one of Austin’s most popular spots for an al fresco experience. Their sprawling backyard and deck offer casual and comfortable southwest ranch-style dining paired with refreshing craft cocktails, shareable bites and plenty of space for events or yard games."

"This East Austin gem has a huge outdoor seating area that is perfect for the whole family. Come rain or shine because they have a large portion of the patio covered. With string lights surrounding the outdoors area, you are sure to enjoy the ambiance but not more than the food and drinks!"

"The ranch-style MLK restaurant is all outdoors, where diners can mix delicious drinks and ox tongue sliders for an excellent evening. Reservations are available."

Riverside walking trails, volleyball courts, and a disc golf course are all within park boundaries."

"360 Uno’s full name is 360 Uno Pizzeria, Espresso, and Vino, and this place in fact specializes in the three things its title refers to: pizza, coffee, and wine. This sustainability-focused enterprise brings the delicious delicacies of Italy to the streets of Texas, and in addition to serving meals on the premises in their restaurant and café, 360 Uno also sells its specialty wines and coffees to go. For eat-in dining, 360 Uno has several different menus available, including a separate pizza menu with over a dozen varieties."

"The revived and relocated Lustre Pearl on Rainey Street offers drinks with a side of scenery up on the roof."

DJs spin mostly pop tunes to keep crowds moving, and theme nights are held regularly."

"The Hawaiian restaurant in Austin specializes in hibachi steak, Korean barbecue bowls, and other fusion dishes. For the raw fish dish, make your own or choose from a few specialty bowls on the menu."

"Who needs a boring history museum when you could experience a living history museum?. At Pioneer Farms, the volunteers wear high-buttoned dresses and top hats as they take you through guided tours of farms and villages from the 1800s. You can pet animals, listen to stories and ride in horse-drawn buggies as you learn all about Texas history."

Some of the workshops available are blacksmithing, woodworking, knitting/quilting, candlemaking, soapmaking, and cheese making."

"Basic, I know, but Tiffs Treats are still some of my favorite cookies in Austin!. In case you live under a rock: Tiff’s Treats is a cookie delivery service. It’s great for sending birthday, anniversary, sympathy, or congratulatory packages to someone’s work or home."

"Tiffany and Leon Chen, who started their business by delivering cookies at the University of Texas, are the bakers behind Tiff's Treats. The Austin-based chain offers some of the best cookies you will ever eat."

"The Cold Cookie is Austin’s first (and only, as far as we can tell) food truck dedicated to the fine art of ice cream sandwiches, made to order so you always get the perfect balance of crunchy chewy cookie and creamy filling. You can customize your sandwich with your preferred combo of scoop and cookie flavors, choosing from a menu that includes coffee Oreo, and cookies 'n' cream, as well as fresh-baked snickerdoodles, chocolate chip cookies, and more."

"6812 Ranch Rd 620 N | Just like Austin, Cold Cookie Company is anything but ordinary. They not only serve ice cream that’s delicious on its own, but also cookies that can be a simple topping or blended into one of their shakes. They’re also famous for their ice cream sandwiches and “unshakes” which is just like a milkshake, but much thicker because of all the ice cream and toppings that you’re getting."

"Have you ever had to pick between a homemade cookie and homemade ice cream?. It’s basically like choosing a favorite child. At Cold Cookie Company you can have the BEST of both worlds."
