Oh Austin. People come and go but your neighborhoods always stay the same. Or do they? If you’ve become accustomed to the same old thing, may I suggest re-visiting some of the city’s famous neighborhoods and discovering what’s new before the hipsters do? Quickly.
Rainey Street
Yes, Rainey is a favorite of everyone’s. No matter your bar preference or choice of drink, there is something for everyone. Unfortunately, over the past year, this has made Rainey more of a destination rather than an Austinite’s best-kept secret. To avoid the crowds, I suggest trying NO VA. NO VA is the newest and first full service restaurant to open its doors on Rainey Street. The remodeled, two-story house offers home-spun twists on sophisticated classics, like “Cheeseburger” Tartare and delicious cocktails to boot. So whether you’re looking for a patio to hang out with coworkers on a Friday evening or a cute date spot, NO VA is your best bet.
6th Street & Surrounding Areas
Has 6th become ‘the place that shall never be visited’ for you? Good news. ATX Brands has opened up a brand new lounge next to the Chicago House and it’s actually worth navigating through the mobs on “dirty 6th.” Vinyl, a music inspired lounge, features a one-of-a-kind intimate atmosphere with a secret entrance, a 13,000-piece vinyl collection, graffiti inspired décor and amazing cocktails. They also bring in eclectic DJs and artists from around the globe so it is very much unlike the Top 40 places most people associate with 6th street.
If you’re looking for somewhere a little more tame, head upstairs to Vinyl’s sister bar, Upstairs on Trinity. Surrounded by beautiful limestone walls draped in crimson with endless windows and glowing chandeliers, Upstairs on Trinity exudes elegance and sophistication. The venue features an extensive selection of premium wines, exceptional champagnes, sangrias and small plates. Menu items include fresh flatbread pizza, cheese plates, charcuterie, and local sweet treats.
Warehouse District
Home to some excellent restaurants and local Austin bar favorites, Warehouse District is known for quality. That’s why newest addition, Searsucker, has had no problem fitting in with its classy neighbors. Searsucker Austin boasts a hip, urban cowboy style that mixes modern and rustic materials to create a warm and inviting setting. Complete with lounge area, open kitchen and a private dining room, the overall layout and feel of the space is very warm and inviting. The social dining experience, aimed to make guests feel as if they are enjoying a great dinner party with close friends, bring together an unforgettable environment with remarkable dishes, to-die-for cocktails, and upbeat music provided by live DJs. I suggest getting a group together and visiting them for brunch. You won’t be disappointed!

Austin Fit Magazine named RockBody Boot Camp its Best Boot Camp of 2011 and also lauded its owner, Brian Prinzo, as one of the city’s Top 10 Fittest Trainers in 2010. But for Brian and his staff of experienced trainers, it’s not about the accolades; it’s about helping others lose weight and reach their fitness goals. Classes eschew routine courses of treadmills and bench presses for a variety of challenging workouts that put participants through a mash-up of strength, core, cardio, and interval training designed to push them to their personal limits. Best of all, the workouts provide the motivation and accountability needed to help exercisers push past plateaus, and exercises can be tailored to accommodate many fitness levels and concerns, such as arthritis, body pain, and conjoined sweatbands.

Double Trouble BBQ hands out smoked meats and barbecue treats from the deck of an amphibious foodmobile, operating with equal ease on land and in Lake Austin. Sandwiches teem with smoked brisket and pulled pork or chicken, and wraps can swathe hot jalapeño sausages in coleslaw as crisp and cool as a freshly ironed iceberg. A host of sides, such as cornbread, green-bean casserole, and blueberry cobbler, pepper catered meals with sweet and savory flavors. Double Trouble sticks to terra firma while sating weekday appetites and slips into the lake’s Party Cove on weekends, attracting swimmers, boaters, and Nessie’s cousin, Bessie.
