This is my default restaurant that I go to, when I can't figure out what I want. Great food in a cozy atmosphere, and there's a nice bar to sit at if there is a wait. Best mac and cheese EVER!

Shopping

Every corner's gotta have one, right? Ok for a quick coffee, but if you want local color & atmosphere, head over to Flightpath, Dolce Vita, or Epoch instead. Austin is full of great coffee houses.

Essentials

Perfect little grocery store in biking distance. Prices are dirt cheap. Only down side is that they don't have organic food. Upside, they carry the Mexican coke.
