discovering austin shopping Downtown District / 2nd Street “Where Texas Warmth Meets Austin Cool,” the 2nd Street district is home to 50 specialty shops, services and dining establishments. Austin City Limits Live at the Moody Theater and the Austin Children’s Museum anchor this downtown district, which spans Second Street between Congress and San Antonio. Downtown District / Congress Avenue Referred to as The Main Street of Texas, Congress Avenue is the heart of downtown Austin. Between the Capitol and Lady Bird Lake you’ll find numerous shops, restaurants, museums and theaters, all along one of downtown’s three National Register Historic Districts. Downtown District / E. 6th Street With a collection of music venues, restaurants, the original Alamo Drafthouse movie theater, the Austin Visitor Center and an eclectic array of stores, E. 6th Street is literally open day and night. Most of Austin’s musical history points to E. 6th Street, so be sure to take note of this 7-block National Register Historic District’s array of 19th’ century, 2-story architectural buildings. Downtown District / West End Located on the western edge of downtown at Sixth Street and Lamar Boulevard, this retail district’s key landmarks include Whole Foods Market, Anthropologie, REI and Book People, Texas’s leading independent bookstore. This is a great area to get goodies for yourself, your home and tonight’s dinner. Downtown District / South Congress (SOCO) Just one half mile south of the river lies the heart of SOCO. Home to many of Austin’s uniquely quirky, funky and hip stores, it is also the home of the Continental Club, a locally revered live music venue, as well as much of Austin’s food trailer culture. 26 Doors 1206 W 38th St Whether you’re looking for fabulous food, gifts, original toys or clothing, it can be found at 26 Doors, located in the heart of mid-town Austin. The shopping center is an Austin original. The central plaza— featuring a bronze sundial—is a perfect meeting place for friends, family and kids.
