- No matter what direction you head in Austin, you’re sure to find tons to see, eat, and do. However the funkiest part of town lies east of I-35 where the past, present, and future of Texas’s capital city mix into one tasty trip.
When you kick your trip off early, you’ll need some caffeine. There are number of awesome coffee joints around, but I recommend stopping by Cuvee Coffee Bar to have a glass of its signature “nitro cold brew.” This creative concoction pours off the draft like a Guinness Beer, but goes down smooth like coffee.
For red meat there are a number of tasty establishments, but if you’re in the mood for some meaty experimentation, head to Salt & Time. This local butcher shop makes its own charcuterie with homemade cured meats like salami, prosciutto, and sausage. Grab a butcher board, a local beer, and send your taste buds on a ride.
Thai Kun, a hip spot for spicy Thai fare, including vegan options & cocktails, from the East Side King team, has relocated to the Domain.
Micklethwait’s was founded in 2012 by pit master Tom Micklethwait, and has some of the best oak-fired, Central Texas barbeque, made-from-scratch sides and baked goods, all served from a vintage Comet trailer. Currently rated one of the best in Texas by Texas Monthly Magazine!
While many complain that Austin is losing its signature “weirdness,” it is still present if you know where to look. Start at the Museum of Natural and Artificial Ephemerata. This collection of curiosities is sure to make you scratch your head and includes the last cigarette smoked by Marilyn Monroe, Willie’s hair, and a spoon bent by the mind of a child. My brain still hurts.
One of the most peaceful parks in East Austin is also one of the most overlooked. It’s the Texas State Cemetery. I know hanging out with dead folks isn’t on most to-do lists, but this cemetery is a must-do. Buried on this hallowed ground are numerous Texans who made Texas what it is today, including Stephen F. Austin, himself. There are Texas Rangers (e.g. Bigfoot Wallace), athletes (e.g. Darrell K. Royal), Governors (e.g. John Connally), artists (e.g. James Michener) and trailblazers (e.g. Barbara Jordan). The names go on and on and deserve at least a moment of your respect as you pass through town.
If you’re in the mood for history, head to the French Legation Museum. This is the oldest house in Austin still at its original location and was built in the 1830’s as the French Embassy to the sovereign nation of Texas. It gives a unique glimpse into French life on the Texas frontier.
Remember that time you watched “American Ninja Warrior” and thought - “I could do that.” Well, this is your chance to try. This outdoor gym was designed for folks training for obstacle races (think Tough Mudder or Spartan Race) and includes high ropes activities, climbing walls, and even a javelin throw. Day passes are available making it the perfect place to test your chops.
If you’re in need for an urban retreat, right outside the hustle and bustle of East Austin is this state park. You can dive into Onion Creek for a quick swim or mountain bike along the 9 miles of trails that wind through the park when it’s too cold for a swim.

😅 "I don't wanna make ya nervous, but when I woke up this mornin', I didn't have a beard."😂 Spoken like a true Texan.❤
Chet these episodes are awesome! I love that it's not just food but interesting museums, homes,parks etc Great Job bro!!!!!
I’m so elated that you’ve created such great content about East Austin. Such a treasure the area is. Thank you!
Texans Unite! ❤
There lies a venue called the (White?) Horse? Experienced some of the best continual psychedelic folk music ever!!! The intimacy there, like most places in East Austin, are unmatched.
🤠
You’re a nut! And I love it! 😂
Thanks
E Austin, nice

East Side = LOVE
Hey don't forget Bennu Cafe which is open 24 hours and is on the East Side as well.
I would like to watch North, South, East and West of Austin, Dallas and San Antonio 🥰
Make
Austin
Texan

😂
Relax boomer, regardless if you like it or not, cities change and that includes Texas. 🇸🇴🇵🇱 you can't say you're a true blue Texan if you complain about The Capitol
He did t hit the Real Eastside of Austin.
I think the ephemorata museum closed down
East side show room closed in 2016 😢
Who hasn't ever felt like tossing a raw cut of meat at a vegan 😂😂
go home gentrifier
I thought Chet has the wrong initials to hang out in East Austin. He has the same initials as CZcams, YT.
When was this video made, wondering because I was the before and after Chris Kyle was laid to rest, his memorial is stunning, and right across fro the 9/11 memorial.
Bruce Lee was Chinese 😂
Don't tell them.
You need an electric SUV
They gotta improve the range first.

East Austin was Stolen the Flavor aint there anymore. This isnt the east side Austinites grew up in
Sad
I was a fan! I will no longer watch your episodes. You ignored the real Eastside ! Just enjoy the ride !
Thai dude not gonna use gloves? 🤢🤮
sorry but the host is not funny by any means and it does hurt the show. the show has enough good elements to be good, doesn't need to have a comedic side to add to it. those side skits was very lame, just stick to the town's features and good.
Austin is the most overrated city on Earth!
Probably not on earth. … But in some ways...sure
Did you know that the rest of Texas have a saying for Austin?
“Keep the weirdo’s in Austin!”
I don’t think it is. Most of the international travelers visiting America will go to New York or Florida. I don’t see the massive crowds like in the northern cities…..Austin doesn’t even have a subway system like in the more advanced Asian cities
