From the festive holiday ambiance to unique shopping experiences to delicious seasonal dining and entertainment, there’s something for everyone in the 2nd Street District this holiday season.
Shopping
We know your social calendar is already packed for the season. To ensure you’re ready to jingle and mingle in festive outfits, stop by one of the many stylish boutiques in 2nd Street District including Stella Dallas, UAL, Hemline, Brandy Melville.
Once you’re ready to party in style, it’s time to get to work on your gift list. Knock it all out in the 2nd Street District – Santa’s got nothing on you this season! Visit Ten Thousand Villages, Atown and Blu Dot Design for those on your list who love home goods. If you’re looking for jewelry, stop by local and women-owned shop Eliza Page. Men can be notoriously difficult to shop for, but with Sneaker Politics and Indochino, you won’t have to think twice.
You know what they say – sometimes the best gift isn’t a thing, but an experience! When it comes to experiences, you can find some of the most exciting ones in Austin’s 2nd Street District. Give them the gift of Upstairs Circus (where a DIY workshop meets a bar) or tickets to Violet Crown (a luxury movie theater) where you can relax and spend time together.
Dining
Start your big holiday off right and fuel your holiday shopping with a cup of joe from Jo’s Coffee. No matter your taste in cuisine, 2nd Street District offers every type of food. Swing by RedFarm for modern Chinese cuisine and a playful take on dim-sum. The restaurant will even be open on Thanksgiving and Christmas if you don’t feel like doing the dishes! Indulge in Bill’s Oyster for cocktails, oysters and seafood served in a trendy setting or La Condesa for contemporary Mexican cuisine. The options are endless.
Self-Care this Holiday Season
Of course, even with all the hustle and bustle this holiday season, it’s important to stop and take a moment for yourself. Self-care is essential during such crazy times. Enjoy a facial, massage and other treatments at Milk + Honey or Sugared + Bronzed. Get your sweat on with a class at Barry’s, OrangeTheory Fitness, or RIDE. End the day with a clean meal in between shopping at The Well or Local Foods.
However you choose to spend your day in the 2nd Street District, it’s sure to be full of holiday cheer.
