You can walk/run/bike a loop from 2 to 11 miles. It’s easy to get on the trail from Barton Springs Road which is about .5 mile walk from our house.

Food scene

Best sushi in town, need a month's notice for reservations so we sometimes try to go early happy hour which starts at 4 pm. The sushi bar is first come first serve, so we’ve often found it’s easy to get in this way! Soto is a good sushi backup if you don’t get into Uchi and much easier to get a reservation.

Great breakfast tacos - try the papas, beans, and cheese. (and if you are craving a breakfast taco within walking distance, Thom’s market sells Taco Deli tacos in the morning but get there around 8:30 am or 9 am because they run out!)
