I live in the North Loop and our house is literally steps away from some of the coolest places in North Austin, starting with:
Epoch Coffee
 |
| 200 steps from our front porch |
A 24-hour coffee shop with records playing, fast wifi, and more people than you could ever imagine would be there past 1 in the morning. It's always packed and a wonderful place to go (if you can find a place to sit) and people watch, read, or catch up with a friend.
Blue Velvet Vintage
A vintage store (next to Epoch) with dresses that run at about 20-30 bucks. Not bad if it's something cute and shapely that will last. Not to mention earrings for $1!
 |
| Famous in Austin |
And now that my friend is selling me his record player for half price, I'll have all the more reason to make it rain here.
 |
| beaut. |
A vegan taco truck that fills me up for just $4. Avocados? Amazing blaring rock music. Sign. Me. Up.
 |
| Very few gravestones because most of the bodies were not claimed |
Particularly creepy, this is the graveyard for the Austin State Hospital, or, what used to be called the Texas State Lunatic Asylum. Hardly any gravestones line the grass, because they weren't claimed by their families. It's literally right smack in the middle of the hip new North Loop district. Spooky.
I Luv Video
 |
| These exist anymore??!! |
I know right! I thought after Blockbuster crumbled and fell that video rental places simply didn't exist anymore--wrong. I luv video is one of largest independent movie stores in the nation. And they give out free beer on Tuesdays! I've already set up an account.
 |
| Punch drunk comedy |
This place is crazy--they have shows--improv & stand-up running 7 days a week! A lot of the shows are BYOB, and some are even "pay what you can". So close to my house!
