Best Quick Historic Tryst

Summit House

Wanna woo your honey with your vast and uncanny knack for modern Texas history? And rack up the points as a savvy feminist? How about a late-night romantic rendezvous at Barbara's Studio in the Summit House? This huge, groovy room in the South Austin B&B is named for the late congresswoman Barbara Jordan. For the less historically inclined, there are the Garden Suite and the Blue Room, equally classy numbers. David Rubin (who folks might remember from S. Congress' Common Market) has been working on his dream house since March 1997. A huge part of Summit House's appeal is its funky coziness, but the gourmet breakfasts and personal service make it a place you'll want to visit again and again - maybe next time with your latest squeeze (not to imply that your last one didn't work out -).
