24 year old going for a girls weekend so anything else fun you can think of too is appreciated☺️

6th street, Rainey St for less crazy fun, barbecues at just about anywhere, for viewpoints go to Mt. Bonnel and Hamilton pool.

Not spg but gf and I got a great deal at the Omni through chase points - pretty good location wise

Sheraton if you have status. Although the Hyatt regency is real nice and next to the trails.

Restaurants: Uchi, uchiko, Sway, mozart cafe, and I repeat, any BBQ place.

OP, what weekend are you going?

JW Marriott

Gonna be there Feb 10-12. Is it recommended to stay near 6th street for nightlife or just uber there and stay in another area??

Uber there. And you should do Rainy street too

Coopers, best BBQ I've ever had and no line

Jalapeño bacon Mac and cheese....to die for

Austin doesn't have Uber or Lyft. Download Fare or RideAustin.

Eat at odd duck. Small plates and it's delicious. Also torchys. Also walk around south congress (torchys is an easy walk) for fun shops. My fav restaurant is dai due. So delicious, but not really near anything else.

Via 313 pizza on Rainey will change your life. Lambert BBQ is overpriced and overrated. Swifts Attic is good for a drink. If you want good BBQ with no wait Iron Works is always solid and over looked. If you're just coming for the weekend no need to go to the east side. It's pretty much every hipster enclave you've ever seen. South Congress is just as fun but closer to you.

Fasten works great in austin too! When i was stuck at the airport and needed an uber i used the fasten app and they we were there quick. Use Fasten.

This is so AWKWARD. We had our holiday party last night and everyone was drinking (open bar) a group of us went outside to grab cabs together and go home, everything was cool. Tell me why once I got in the cab I got a drunk call from my manager asking if he could get a cab to my place and if I would give him the address 🤦🏻‍♀️. I'm single and not mad that he finds me attractive, more worried that all my other coworkers heard him calling me while they waited with him!!

Taking my very last CPA exam tomorrow. I’ve been at it since 2016 and have failed so many times. I can’t believe I have even come to the point where I can say that I’m taking my last one. I hope to pass and put this chapter of my life behind me!
