What was once a quiet district near the University of Texas campus, East Austin's Manor Road has really come into its own with the arrival of several new restaurants and entertainment hot spots. Eat and Drink Tex-Mex: El Chile Café y Cantina is the place for fresh Tex-Mex flavors with an Austin twist. And if you like the salsa, you can also take some home. For a different take on Tex-Mex, try their sister restaurant, El Sapo, with a large selection of burgers with names like Frijolito and Chori-Pica. Fresh and Local: True to Austin's locavore reputation, Eastside Café gives new meaning to comfort food with seasonal vegetables and herbs harvested from the garden on its property. Hoover's Cooking, another Manor Road staple, practices farm-to-table cooking with many of the ingredients in the Soul Food specialties provided by local farmers. Laid-Back and Neighborly: Imagine regional comfort food (like the horseshoe double cheeseburger on Texas toast) paired with a great selection of craft beers, and you have Haymaker, a pub that emulates the neighborhood bars of the Midwest and Northeast. Looking for a low-key place to kick back? Visit Butterfly Bar's outdoor patio area for a cocktail, a snack and a visit from the bar's friendly cat, Radius. Things to Do Explore: Burn off the calories from your culinary choices and explore the area on two wheels. Windmill Bicycles rents "beaters," simple, single-speed bikes with coaster brakes, perfect for cruising around town. Volunteer: The University of Texas has also joined the farm movement with the student-run UT Micro Farm on campus. If you have a green thumb, the farm has workdays for volunteers to compost, plant, harvest, rake, water and otherwise help out around the farm. Take in a Show: East Austin is home to some innovative theater venues, such as the Vortex Repertory Company, known for alternative performances, the Salvage Vanguard Theater (SVT), performing new works from playwrights and composers, and Teatro Vivo, which produces bilingual performances that reflect the culture of the Latino community.

RAINEY STREET Renovated houses turned into bungalow bars reign supreme on this increasingly popular tucked-away street. Day or night, you’ll find relaxed bar-goers strolling from bar to food trailer to bar again, often with their dogs in tow looking for a kicked back sip and a bite. NIGHTLIFE & LIVE MUSIC Populated on all days that end in “Y” for back patio bar performances, SXSW Conference & Festivals steps up the tempo on Rainey Street and takes over the road with hot ticket music acts and celeb spotting moments every March. Fans of mixology, be sure to stop into Half Step for a drink and a longing glance at their Clinebell ice machine. The rustic-chic Craft Pride features 51 Texas-only beer taps, plus experts to tell you all about them. Swing in the sunshine in a hammock on Lucille's patio or grab a friend for some bar games at Lustre Pearl. Clive Bar's swanky vibe and big wooden deck make it the perfect spot for a date night or a group outing. And for fans of mezcal, Bar Illegal is a little speakeasy open Thursday through Saturday, just behind Clive Bar. DINING Begin with brunch at Banger’s Sausage House & Beer Garden, a rowdy affair with 100+ beers on draft and a dog-friendly patio. Or toast Geraldine’s at Hotel Van Zandt, featuring champagne and New American dishes. Hailed by Bon Appétit as one of the best restaurants in the country, Emmer & Rye is at the top of its game with creative dishes, thoughtful cocktails and an American take on dim sum. Head south of the border at El Naranjo with interior Mexican fare, including a variety of moles and exotic tequilas. L’Estelle House offers light French fare and wine on tap. For late-night bites, head to Via 313 or a Cadillac pizza made Detroit-style. And of course, any time of day or night, donuts are the right choice. Find the sweetest versions at Little Lucy’s Mini Donuts. ARTS Austin's diverse culture is not just contained in a museum but sprinkled throughout the entire city. The mission of the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center (MACC) is the preservation and promotion of Latino culture.
