there's a great mexican dive restaurant that serves up awesome lunches. Las Manitas on Congress and 2nd

If you are looking for nice restaurants: Wink, Castle Hill, Uchi (better than Nobu), Zoot, Vespaio.

as far as shows go, Emo's, Stubbs, Beerland are nice venues.

Wink is at 11th and Lamar - great place for local ingredients (http://winkrestaurant.com/). Castle Hill is at 5th and Lamar - upscale dinner (http://www.castlehillcafe.com... Uchi is on South Lamar a few blocks south of the river - amazing fusion sushi (http://www.uchiaustin.com/). Vespaio is on South Congress (an area of town worth checking out) - good italian (http://www.austinvespaio.com/). Zoot is on your way to Westlake, probably not worth the trek. You might check out Fino on 29th and Lamar - good Mediterranean fair (http://www.astiaustin.com/).
Austin is a great city. Have a great time!
