I hate Austin's tendency to have streets change names in the middle for no apparent reason.

I love Chuy's.

Guess it's a toss-up.

I'm going to a wedding next month that's at the Driskill--you guessed it, 6th Street. I can't freaking wait for the 6th Street bar crawl 2 nights before the wedding!

I love Austin. If/when I leave NYC, Austin is #3 on my list (after SF and Boston).

I've heard some good things about Austin. It seems like it'd be a fun place to work and live. I've never lived in the South (although I've visited a bunch of times), though, so I'm not sure how well I'd adjust after living my entire life in the Northeast.

Also your list looks a lot like my list; when I leave CT I'd either like to head back to Boston, or to DC or SF (in that order).

Austin's not as Southerny as some other places...with Dell and UT there, it's definitely more cosmopolitan than Texas cities of similar sizes. I grew up in the South, and have lived my entire adult life in the Northeast, and I liked it a lot. It's pretty liberal, though; a blue dot in a sea of red.

The Driskill Hotel is AWESOME - really incredible. www.driskillhotel.com

I'm still holding a grudge, though, for the totally bogus ticket I got last fall in Austin.

Oh - go hang out at one of the coolest stretches in the nation (and certainly the coolest in a "college town" atmosphere) and he'll get why Austin sucks? Are you kidding?

I'll figure out what?.......6th street is a legendary strip of bars and restaurants frequented by all walks of life that help give Austin the character that people love. If 6th isn't for you......then go somewhere else in Austin. There's plenty of places to go for bars and great food that aren't on 6th.

You are fighting an uphill battle, Sport.


People that hate Texas.......love Austin.

Live music capital of the world
Beautiful women
great lakes
one of the best food cities in the US
one of the top bar/party scenes you'll find.
tons to do, sightseeing, etc.
