No college student or single professional can live without this publication, which features the best of what is happening in town. This is where you find out all about Austin artists, musicians, and upcoming festivals. The restaurant and movie reviews are particularly helpful. Classifieds are there to help you find that roommate or washer and dryer you need. There are even some decent book reviews written to keep you on the edge of contemporary literature. Make sure you cut out their calendars of events so you don't miss out on the excitement!

The local paper has a very liberal Editorial Board, resulting in very liberal editorials. If you're not a liberal, you will get annoyed very easily. But the paper is great for the basics. The travel section is very enticing, as is the life and arts section. Particularly entertaining are the irate letters to the editor...so pick up this paper to be informed and/or entertained!

This is a superb place to take kids for a birthday! I took some little kids once and they had a blast playing such an "adult" game at such a fun, attractive course. Make sure you take advantage of the coupons in your local entertainment guide to save a good amount of money. Their hours are very flexible as well.

Eclectic staff, eclectic collection, eclectic store. Look out Blockbuster, who needs ya when there is an indie movie store that caters to the hip Austin crowd that is looking for more than the pretty exterior? Their collection of foreign films is absolutely priceless. The staff is really quirky and eager to help you find the film you are looking for or suggest a film they themselves enjoyed. The prices are very reasonable as well so don't hesitate to luv this store!

My kid cousins (ages 5-11) came to visit me a few years ago and I took them to this zoo. They were so disappointed at the small zoo compared to the large one they had been to, the Houston Zoo. I felt as though we were in some farmer's backyard. The place is great for tiny kids, ages 2-5, who are thrilled because they don't know any better. The petting zoo is good for little kids and babies. There is a train ride around the zoo that they would enjoy as well. I thought the prices were a bit inflated for the quality, but at least Austin can say it has a zoo.

Yes, there is ice in Austin. Well...at least on the rink! Austin has a fabulous hockey team that will entertain you with their fancy footwork and thuggish fights that break out. It's the perfect place to take teens for birthday parties or even the office on a Friday night after a long week at work. The tickets are modestly-priced and you won't be disappointed by most seats.

It's a great car wash with plenty of hands all over your car to get the job done, but you wonder how much they pay these poor people as they all seem to be immigrants. So make sure you tip even though the prices are really steep. I typically wouldn't go to this place if they didn't offer coupons. The car does shine though, and I have had people inquire as to where I get my car detailed. Super speedy service as well.

Yes, you can get an oil change at one of the major chains, but who can resist this place with such a groovy name? The prices are a bit steeper than chains as well, but they perform their service with a smile and even consult with you in-depth if you have a problem with your vehicle. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They are also pretty speedy when it comes to turnaround time, so give this Austin local a chance!

I ventured over to this bookstore since it was right next to Whole Foods at the time. It's a bit crowded, but they have plenty of selection with fabulous books on Austin and Texas. The staff is superb -- so very friendly and totally knowledgeable. My favorite part about this store is that gift wrapping is free for any purchase and on any day -- it's the perfect place to go for a last-minute birthday gift without having to worry about fancy bags, tissue paper, and scotch tape! A great addition to the city.
