Once again bmx racing has brought us to a new city. What’s the best place to go hang out with my kids after racing. We are in Pflugerville, just a short Uber away from??? Let me know. Always looking for an adventure.

Austin had some good eats:

Pieous, Foreign & Domestic, Holey Roller, and SLAB.

You can Google them.

Habenero Mexican cafe, on point and to die for Tex Mex.

Also we rode scooters up to the Capitol and did a self guided tour, way badass. Walked right into the governors reception office and chatted with an armed Texas ranger if I recall correctly, badass experience.

Wanna see crazy be Downton on 6th street after a UT home game and the spectator buses start dropping fans off.

Terry Black’s BBQ was pretty damn good. There’s also a Black’s BBQ which is/was related until some family drama type o’ thang. Im sure the locals could tell you the true story.

My vote is Terry Black’s but it might be more than a short Uber ride.

When @BUDMAN and I were there a couple years ago, we walked from our hotel at the Fairmont to Terry Black's BBQ (big mistake, hot and humid) and then from there we walked to Barton Springs Pool (big mistake again, long walk, hot and humid).

Barton Springs Pool was pretty cool. It's a natural spring pool and it's nice and clean and the water felt great because we'd walked about 5-6 miles lol. They have diving boards and all the kids go and put on a show to see who can do the coolest dive etc..

Well, we were just swimming around and I look at the diving board and there were about 5 college girls diving off that thing topless and no one thought it was a big deal. Turns out, it's a top "optional" place and a lot of the girls there were topless. Suffice to say, we stayed for a good amount of time checking out the diving board as they were jumping up and down on that thing.

Here's the link to the place: https://www.austintexas.gov/department/barton-springs-pool

Walking was the mistake…both times. Eating at Terry blacks highly recommend. Going to Barton Spring also recommended. @Hamed what’s the name of the place we had that nice dinner at? I would recommend that place as well.

I’ve recommended that place to tons of people and I’ve never heard a complaint. It’s seriously one of the best places I’ve ever eaten at 👍
I think your the one that did recommend it to us.
