24 Hours in Austin

November 29, 2018
24 hours in austin

Are you thinking what I’m thinking? How have I only now been to Austin? I know, I know! It’s obviously been on my list for years, but it took a very chic boutique hotel to actually get me to book. Hands down my favorite part was the incredible restaurants (are you shocked?!). From dynamic cuisine by a Top Chef winner in a very cool new hotel, to traditional Texas style bbq, there is a delicious bite for everyone.

Though I only had just over 24 hours in Austin, I managed to eat, drink, my way through this funky little city. Here are all the places that should be on your list!

What to do in Austin in just 24 hours:

Where to lay your head in luxury: Hotel Saint Cecilia

Where to get caffeinated and get a touristy IG shot: Jo’s on Congress

Where to get the best tacos ever: Torchy’s Tacos 

Where to find the best mac ‘n cheese EVER and some pretty fine barbecue:Terry Black’s

Where to have oysters & a glass of wine: Perla’s

Where to go for happy hour: Historic Rainey Street—there are so many cute little bars all lined up in homes that have been converted into bars. Check out Parlor Room and Half Step. 

Where to have incredible sushi: Uchi

Where to find a secret mezcaleria (open on the weekends) and also the coolest bar in town: Whisler’s

Where to have a dinner cooked by a Top Chef winner: Arlo Grey at The Line Hotel

Looking for the coolest hotel in Austin? Look no further than the Hotel Saint Cecilia, a luxury boutique hotel by Bunkhouse.

The Hotel Saint Cecilia is not only a very stylish stay, but it’s private grounds and curated exclusivity is sometimes just what the doctor ordered. I love their unique style, poolside bungalows, and cozy lounge.

Head over to historic Rainy Street for happy hour or for all-night bar hopping. There was a water issue when I was in town, so many of the bars couldn’t wash glasses and reverted to plastic. Well, I never!

South Congress street is the “main drag,” and we were lucky enough to be staying within walking distance. Though it can be considered touristy, there are still amazing food options and funky little shops.

I was not above getting a touristy photo in front of the Jo’s wall on South Congress. And neither should you!

Be careful who you call your guru. Having worked i Be careful who you call your guru. Having worked in entertainment publicity for two decades and being on the inside of some of today's most celebrated experts in the self help world, I can promise you this: most people are not what they seem. And also...watched the WeWork doc, which touches on this too. When you start believing your own hype, things usually start crumbling down. #quoteoftheday #wisewords

When I was in preschool I was typecast as the moth When I was in preschool I was typecast as the mother in the school play cause I was "bossy." But even then I chose to think of it as being a BOSS. And I never stopped. To bossy women everywhere, you're my people. #internationalwomensday
