This food truck posts up at three different locations in Downtown Austin. This delicious European-Turkish food is found on street corners all over the world, why should Austin be any exception? Choose from chicken, beef or lamb shawarma, falafel, hummus or a Turkish salad. All kebabs are made fresh, and they stay open late, making for a perfect post-night out meal. If you can't find them on 7th Street, try their 2nd Street location.

24 is the quintessential American diner, only far more upscale than those from the 1950s that it gets its inspiration from. Open 24 hours a day all week (except Wednesdays), the eatery is located across the famous Waterloo Records store. Texan chef Andrew Curren designs a menu that advocates the farm-to-fork philosophy and features a contemporary take on timeless favorites like chicken and waffles, burgers and milkshakes. Complement the organic fare with their impressive beer and wine list. Lively banter, modern decor and infectious vibes keep patrons revisiting.

Times have changed in Austin, and now there is an explosion of activity and businesses moving east of the I35 Downtown Corridor. The Yellow Jacket Social Club is no exception to this, and provides evidence of a revamped East Austin. For example, this dive bar, amongst old warehouses and train tracks, trumps all of those negative stereotypes. It's a joint for funky hipsters, where “rockabillies” mingle over alcohol, food, and underground punk music. Enjoy company, either indoors, at the bar, or outside under the trees.

This funky roadside restaurant, located on the grounds of Days Inn University along Interstate 35, provides a hip late-night hangout for all types. Musicians and music fans alike mingle over omelets, breakfast tacos and a full range of diner food. Students are drawn to it because of the late night hours, convenience to UT and affordable menu items. After 2am there is often a wait while the bar crowd trickles in. The walls are covered with artwork, not anything typical, usually very eclectic or raw pieces are shown. The atmosphere is laid back and casual with diner booths filling the small space.

Kerbey Lane Cafe tiene muchas sucursales, pero la ubicación original de este icono de Austin sigue siendo un favorito local. Su carta maravillosamente diversa es un espectáculo para la vista de los vegetarianos. Las verduras son de cosecha propia y sin pesticidas, y la carne y el pollo son de granja. El desayuno incluye omeletes, crepes y excelentes tacos. El restaurante está abierto las 24 horas, todos los días. No es de extrañar que sea una eminencia.

Justine's Brasserie sirve una de las mejores comidas de Austin. Se especializa en cocina francesa, y se encuentra en una pequeña casa muy elegante en el este de Austin. No se aceptan reservas, así que hay que prepararse para esperar por una mesa, ya que es muy popular. Cuando se consigue un asiento, hay que asegurarse de comenzar la comida con los caracoles, uno de los platos más populares del lugar.
