And if anything can outdo the music, it’s the food. A foodie’s paradise, one can go up into the hills or down to the shores of Lake Austin or Lake Travis to find delectable food ranging from good ‘ol Texas barbeque to French-Vietnamese, creative tacos, Tex-Mex accompanied by large pitchers of margaritas or for the less adventurous, classic American home cooking.
