FAR WEST AUSTIN
Far West Austin is what we call a “hidden gem” in plain sight. Don’t be fooled by the name—the neighborhood is actually relatively central, close to the University of Texas campus. Parking is a breeze in your neighborhood, and there’s even a UT shuttle directly from the area for easy commutes!
TO DO IN FAR WEST AUSTIN
There’s plenty to eat, do, and see within minutes of home base in Far West. Head to Austin Terrier for bistro-style pizza, soups, and sandwiches—and as the name implies, your furry friends are welcome on their dog-friendly patio. There’s also a Torchy’s Taco’s close by, and the general consensus here is that the queso is hard to beat. Saffron is also a crowd-pleaser, serving up crave-worthy Nepalese fare.
