MANNYS:

Manny’s is such a cool spot!  Starting early in the morning, they serve delicious coffee and Cuban cuisine and at night it turns into a speakeasy lounge called, Powder Room.

We were so honored to be included in the exclusive VIP media visit to the speakeasy bar where no cameras are allowed. So! Check out my reel on Instagram. …with gorgeous footage of this interactive, immersive posh spot in downtown Austin.

Open early in the morning at 7am, closing late at night in the speakeasy, It’s the perfect vibe for sunrise to sunset par-tay happenings.

POWDER ROOM:

Powder Room is one of many speakeasies in the downtown Austin area, and this one is unique.  There are no cell phones allowed in the lounge, so it is truly interactive and immersive.  The drinks are served with a unique twist and a huge smile.  And you never know what to expect from the DJs.  Whether it’s walking around with an electric guitar…or popping into the crowd…it is always a treat. And never boring.

THE CONTEMPORARY:

The Contemporary is one of the best museums in Austin, with some of the best exhibits that come throughout the world and land in Austin.  They have multiple levels of great art, and a rooftop with views that will take your breath away.  It’s one of my favorite venues in the whole city…enjoy!

GIBSON TEN FOOT GUITARS:

Scattered throughout downtown Austin are several unmistakable Gibson guitars. All painted by, sponsored by, or signed by different local artists or celebrities. The artwork is all unique, even the medium used to decorate the guitars varies from paint to mirrors. Have fun walking from the Capital down Congress Avenue finding the guitars.

TEXAS STATE CAPITOL:

Designated as a National Historic Landmark, the Texas State Capitol is beautiful to tour inside or out. Their website provides excellent self-guided tours* of the inside of the capitol, outside grounds and monuments.  They also have free tours daily beginning in the Capitol South Foyer and the entire campus is a perfect time to explore and enjoy for hours, whether you are a local or visitor.

Tip: Parking is available in the Capitol Visitors Center.
