April 3, 2025Alright, so Austin, man. Steve here, early 30s, and let me tell you, this place is alive. If you're into killer food – and I mean, everything from legit BBQ to some seriously inventive fusion spots – and a nightlife scene that just doesn't quit, you'll fit right in.
Mary • 1+ years in Austin

March 25, 2025Happy, vibrant, busy, lots of traffic, great restaurants. Liberal.
