Boys Trip
Round up the crew and get ready for an unforgettable boys trip deep in the heart of Texas.
Morning on East 11th
Start your day at Radio Rosewood, where locally-sourced ingredients meet innovative Austin flavors. It’s as easy as walking right up to the counter for a small bite and cup of coffee. If you’re into matcha, their rosemary matcha is absolutely to die for… and so is the breakfast sandwich – trust us on this one!
After fueling up, continue your morning exploration with a visit to Lovecraft & Take Heart Shop, charming boutiques perfect for discovering unique, handcrafted treasures that you won’t find anywhere else– they’re the perfect spots to pick up something special for yourself or that friend back home.
Afternoon Adventures
Embrace Austin’s iconic culture with an afternoon aboard the pink retro boat from Retro Boat Rentals on Lady Bird Lake. This Instagram-worthy vessel offers stunning views of the city skyline while you cruise the tranquil waters.
After your scenic boat ride, indulge in some retail therapy with shopping on South Congress, where eclectic boutiques and local shops offer everything from vintage finds to contemporary fashion. Our recommendation? Find yourself at Maufrais for custom hat shaping and decorating for the girls, because nothing says Austin like walking away with your own personalized cowboy hat!
Evening Nightlife & Dining
As the sun sets, start your evening with craft cocktails at Brass Poppy, Hotel Van Zandt’s stylish neighborhood cocktail lounge. Whether you’re savoring a handcrafted cocktail or simply soaking in the vibrant ambiance, Brass Poppy is the home of “creative spirits for creative spirits.
Make your way to De Nada for their famous tacos and frozen margaritas served in those iconic pink cups – a quintessential Austin experience that’s absolutely perfect for your group photos. Pro tip: don’t leave that pink cup souvenir behind!
