When I go to Austin this is a great place to visit! Fun shopping and eclectic restaurants. Torchy's was my favorite this time!

Funky shopping --- average prices -- great vibe. Great people watching. Fun way to exercise your legs and your pocketbook. Wear sunscreen as there is not much shade in the hotter months.

But only the second best place in Austin. If that makes sense? Saw SoCo before 6th Street. Was blown away with SoCo. 6th St even better. BUT..... then I went to East 6th Street. Which was better still. So.... maybe SoCo is the THIRD best place in Texas?! I'm coming back here soon. I love it.

The SoCi District is by far a wonderful eclectic area to shop. Great weather and convenient to our bed and breakfast also.

We loved Torchy's Tacos. They had all the food trucks move so it took a bit to find them. The stores in So Co were not our style or price range. People were very nice to talk to.

Ate at joe's. the coffee was the best in Austin - good food and super music! Also ate at guero's taco bar. Excellent service and great Mexican food! The antique stores were trippy like in the past man. The airstream trailer restaurants were unique.

This is an interesting area of town. Lots of unique shops, vendors, and food trucks. That said, not a ton of shade, so if it's a hot day (which is pretty much everyday in the summer in Austin), you might want to bring an umbrella when walking up and down the strip. Quintessential Austin!

Great area in Austin with weird and unusual shopping! You never know what you're going to find there!
