Darn Good Places -Daytime Activities
Best Ways to spend a day in Austin
Does Daytime need an explanation? When planning your day, I break it down into 4 categories, Morning, Day, Night and Party (late night). You are on vacation, enjoy yourself. There is plenty to do in Austin while the sun is still shining.
Examples: hotel swimming pools, lunch, parks, food trucks

"Excellent new and cool place to stay in East Austin! Very cool vibe and close to many of the great bars and restaurants on the East side."
This Airbnb was a 10/10! Loved the aesthetic, modern appliances and the bed was super comfortable. Also, it could not be in a better location: across the street from longpays(live music) and Lou’s, and super close to town lake for morning runs. Will definitely be staying here next time I’m in Austin!
"Such an amazing place in E Austin. Everything inside is new and features fantastic products. The beds are crazy comfortable. We loved being a short walk to great coffee shops, bars and restaurants. We felt the friendliness of Austin with the wonderful hospitality."
