Things to do in Houston and Austin

Both are great cities, but IMO Austin is more beautiful and scenic. I would recommend Mount Bonnell, 6th street , Lake Travis, Zilker Park,great food & music scene .

 

Austin is an overcrowded, traffic-congested schitthole of a second rate city. Go there (here) if you like sitting in your car, standing in line, waiting for a table, listening to the "old" folks talk about the glory days, etc.
Houston is where it's at! I recommend the Museum District, Hay Merchant, D&T Drive In and #s.
Enjoy.

 

I love D& T Drive in. Havent been to Hay Merchant yet.

 

-Petrol Station in addition to the other suggestions for beer.

-Eleanor Tinsley park on buffalo bayou. Recently renovated and beautiful.

-Restaurants. It's almost impossible to make a definitive list. I suggest checking out Eater's 38 essential Houston restaurants.

-Discovery Green, Market Square and Miller Outdoor for all types of outdoor events.

 

Austin you'll have fun just walking around bc ppl walk there and the culture along with the density leads to fun outcomes

Houston your won't see a soul for miles if you do walk and it'll be a bum lol

 

You don't live in the right part of Houston

 

I don't. Inner loop can have some aspects of this density but it's no Austin in terms of that

 

And Austin is nothing compared to other cities in terms of density

 

Lol of course
Best in Texas tho

 

So you recommend a guy to go to a city because it has mediocre density vs more mediocre density.

Seems like poor advice

 

It's not mediocre it offers a blend of what you'd find in sf and houston

 

T-Bone Toms in Kemah

 

If you have an iPhone you should check this out while you're in Austin:

Did it with my wife, and it was very cool. (and free)


Also walks you through some of the main spots in town.

 

if traveling on 290 from Houston to Austin stop at Nathan's BBQ in Brenham aint no fib about those ribs

 

Austin is like San Francisco in that the residents never shut up about how they're from that city.

 

It doesn't seem like sf to me at all.

And I didn't say it was mediocre, I said it had mediocre density.

 

Yeah it's called homeless people jumping you for food and/or money.

Come to Austin for the music, the food, and the scenic trails and vistas.

 

I know what you meant I meant the mediocre density you refer to isn't mediocre. It's a nice blend of dense and spread

 

Are we still talking about population or butter and cheese?
