The Whip-in used to be a convenient store, and is now a super cool beer and wine market, restaurant, and live music venue.

Sightseeing

In the summer months, go to the Congress Ave Bridge over Town Lake at dusk and watch the world's largest urban colony of bats take to the sky. The beauty of 1.5 million Mexican Freetail bats silhouetted against the darkening sky is breathtaking. Bring a blanket and a beverage (kept under wraps), and settle in for the show.

Parks & Nature

One of the things that makes Austin great, the hike and bike trail around Town Lake offers the best of urban walks. Park in Zilker Park, at Auditorium Shores, or under the Mopac bridge on the south or north side of Town Lake, and walk along the lake shore. There are easy loops for running or walking (morning or evening s are the most tolerable during the hot months).
