Anybody been to Austin, TX?

Thinking of going next month for a long weekend.  Would appreciate anyone's suggestions or opinions of the place as we haven't nailed down a destination.

Agree with San Antonio comments. River walk is great!! one of my favorite places in the states. 

Are you a race fan? There's usually something going on at Circuit of the America's. I've been down there for F1. Austin is not a bad place to visit.

Yes, 6th Street. Try the Chupacabra Cantina at the corner of 6th and Trinity if it's still there.  Any kind of music you can think of on 6th St. Also Cooper's on Congress and 2nd is outstanding BBQ. Great City to visit. Not sure if the bat bridge is active at that time but check it out. Gotta see the Stevie Ray Vaughn statue too.

The riverwalk in San Antonio is nice.  I think it is 6th st downtown Austin that is similar to State St .  Lots of live music.  Good food.  

Nope. Been to El Paso Texas many times over 10 years, anywhere should be better then there. 

Edit: Have heard good comments about San Antonio

Why Austin? Try the river walk in San Antonio if your looking for a nice weekend in TX.

It is a warmer version of Madison. Nice bar out on Lake Travis to see sunset.
