Grocery store like Whole Foods, but reasonably priced. Also has bar and restaurant and area for kids to play. Often has live music too. Kids eat free on Tuesdays, but that also means its a bit more crowded on Tuesdays.

Fancy Barbeque and bar downtown. Fantastic brunch. Pricey, but if you catch the happy hour it is super reasonable. If you are going for happy hour, call ahead and ask if the upstairs is open before you go. Limited space.

Arts & Culture

Hey, you are in a city with a presidential library!!! Check it out and see why so many Texans love LBJ (for people who got their education outside of Texas, he and Lady Bird did much more than Vietnam).
