Best Street

South Congress

It's like watching your baby grow up, SoCo is, with original Austin restaurants (Home Slice Pizza, Mars, Botticelli's, Woodland, etc.), boutiques (Pink, Wet, etc.), antique shops (Uncommon Objects, Off the Wall), toy stores (Kid Genius; Monkey See, Monkey Do), markets (Farm to Market, Cissi's Market), and spots just for chillaxing (whew!). Sometimes, sitting on a shaded patio, sipping chilled bevvies, pinkies raised, thinking how good life is, window-shopping the cool kids, it's easy to forget that all of this happened within the last decade.
