Earlier this month, we shared a list of some of the reasons why we LOVE Austin, Texas. As there are sooo many reasons we love living here at Le Montreaux apartments in Austin and our community that surrounds us, we decided to continue the trend. See our top picks below and we will see you out and about!
It’s All About the Brews, Blues and Beethoven, too.
We’ll take this one at a time. First, whether you are a fan of IPAs or traditional Pilsners or prefer to just pass around a pint, you gotta LOVE Austin. There are so many breweries in Austin that you will need more than just one day to experience the local establishments that pour award-winning pints. Our team’s top picks include …
• Austin Beerworks
• Hold Out Brewing
• Independence Brewing Company
• Jester King Brewery
• Live Oak Brewing Company
Next the music! No matter what time of day it is or what day of the week it may be, there’s always live music available. Summertime certainly is when it (music and the temps) are indeed hot. That’s why our calendars are always marked out early in the year to attend the FREE, read FREE, Cool Summer Nights. Bring your blanket or low-back chair, and don’t forget to bring Fido to the show – as dogs are welcome on a leash. Put The Long Center on your list as well. And for date night out or no reason at all, there’s always something to see on stage at the Moody Theater or Zilker Hillside Theater.
Love Wildflowers? So Does Austin.
Lucky for all of us, Texas Hill County overflows with all things nature. From spring wildflower season at Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center to the wineries and some of the best bird watching in the USA, Austin is a base camp to some of the most beautiful sights and settings on the planet. If you have yet to sign up for Travis Audubon’s morning walk, now is the time to do so. You will be guided by the pros who will help you identify migratory birds and the native plants, year-round.
Pups Love Austin, Too
We love our furry friends as much as our family, as we are sure the rest of the world does too. However, those of us who live in Austin have our favorite parks that not only welcome dogs to roam free they are also perfect spots for a picnic in the shade or morning stroll. All of which are just a short drive from our apartments in Austin. Our list of our pups’ favorites includes Red Bud Park, Auditorium Shores and Norwalk Park.
