Funky, off beat places line South Congress Avenue just to the west with the likes of Lucy in Disguise costume shop, Uncommon Objects antiques, Ten Thousand Villages and lots of fun food trailers like Hey Cupcake and and The Flying Carpet Moroccan Burgers. Now trendy restaurants, boutique hotels, bars and live music venues like the Continental Club rock the neighborhood nightly. Upscale restaurants like Perlas in this popular SoCo area have been featured by traveling chef Anthony Bourdain, and Kendra Scott launched her spectacullar jewelry line here and has her store front nearby.

Hotel San Jose draws movie stars, politicians and musicians from all over the world seeking a little bit of what makes Austin weird.
