The night life in Austin is precisely nothing like New Orleans on the slowest day there, let alone during Mardi Gras. The food is pretty decent if you avoid the suburban strip malls. I can think of several world class restaurants within walking distance of me. It’s definitely not Houston in terms of the range of options, but then again has a quarter of the population, so that is to be expected. And as someone who grew up in dreary London weather, the heat just doesn’t bother me at all. Definitely have to stock up on the Zyrtec though, but this is the first year having even here for many.
