Austin TX is super fun. I spent several years here and had a pretty good experience. The nightlife and amount of things to do is limitless. The diversity could use some work but in general theres always a black person around and never felt like an outcast. People are also nice and friendly. City is fairly liberal too

Austin has incredible food. I would recommend Fresas, Bird Bird Biscuit (Black-owned) – https://www.birdbirdbiscuit.com/, and Josephines.

Traveling While Black
Austin is one of my fav cities pretty much because there is a lot to do in a small radius. There’s always something going on and the food is really good! Try out some of the food trucks that are pretty much everywhere. Casita Boriqua on Cesar Chavez has bomb Puerto Rican food, via 313 is my favorite pizza spot in Austin. They have both food trucks and restaurants. Check out Rainy street for lots of bars and food options. There’s usually live bands playing in a few of the bars. I prefer this over 6th street which also has a ton of bars but it’s a little more rowdy and the crowd is younger (I’m in my late 20s). Check out the graffiti park if you like street art. There’s also lakes to do water sports. Follow ig pages like youngblackaustin to find out what the black community is up to. There’s a good amount of black events that happen in Austin, but they’re not always broadcasted well.

Traveling While Black
Austin is a fun and green friendly city. It has so much relaxing feeling and no rush. The nightlife is really lit! You can walk blocks and bar hop. It’s also a college town so you will mix with college students.
Austin’s Bouldin Creek is really nice. You can do Kayaking in the AustinRiver.
Sixth Street is the night life area of Austin.

Traveling While Black
Austin is so unique! It’s the perfect blend of city and outdoor living. Downtown is great for bars and restaurants while South Congress is good for shopping. I reccomend driving out to Jacobs Well. It’s a natural well that is deep as hell and you basically jump into it. The water is freezing but its great for a thrill and a good Instagram pic.
