This is one of our favorite places to grab a drink and some grub. There is always something new and exciting on tape, I usually go for the tropical lighting. And if you love some delicious pizza we recommend the Sweet Heat Pizza.... This is also one of the best places to see some live music outside under some giant live oak trees!

In our opinion they have the best Tacos in town, We compare them to our favorite taco joint since Kendra and i left Austin, where we were obsessed with a place called "Taco Deli", we literally eaten there every meal. Block Taco is also connected to our favorite bar "Satellite Bar and Lounge"

This is by far our favorite place in town. You can get there early but your almost always going to have to wait, its worth it. we usually grab a drink at the bar but the atmosphere is awesome, you would never expect it after driving down Market street. It their own like multicultural mixed Asian paradise, well thats the way i describe it alway. The food has never disappointed us.

Cargo district
Check out the Cargo district, 17th and Queen st, is a good place to start, go and get a smash burger at the mess hall, or maybe oysters and the cargo oyster roast, or the cheese smith. Or if your just looking for a drink there is plenty. Swing into the Bullcity Ciderworks, End of Days distillery, or Fermental just to name a few.
This strip is Kendras old stomping grounds. Be sure to stop at Lagerheads, and mention your staying at Kendra and Travis Airbnb and you'll to meet a friendly face. Kendras best friends family owns the place. Its kind of a divey atmosphere but in my opinion there's nothing better!

Downtown on front street is where to be. Plenty to do and see and eat. I could list them all but you'd be sick and tired of reading so you might just be better off just exploring your selfs. Hopefully you enjoy this small down town as much as we do, make sure to stroll along the river while you're there.

If you're able to catch a show while you're in town, look to see whats playing at the greenfield lake amphitheater, its a great small venue where you can get right up next to the stage. Before or after the show the greenfield lake is a great place to go for a walk or bike ride
