The city of Austin regulates taxi rates, and the current meter rate is $2 for the first 1/4 mile, 25 cents for each additional 1/8 mile, and a gas surcharge of 10 cents per mile (currently in effect). Transmissions were either a fully synchronized Borg-Warner four-speed manual or a "Power-Shift" automatic that permitted manual hold of first and second gears. The Sixth Street Entertainment District (southeast of the Capitol Complex on Sixth St between Congress Ave and Interstate 35) is probably the most well-known when it comes to Austin nightlife, but head off the beaten path to explore the Fourth Street Warehouse District (west of Congress Ave and South of Sixth St) more of the 30-plus crowd, or the brand-new Second Street District (west of Congress Ave and South of Sixth St) with its upscale shops, restaurants, and condominium and loft projects. In numerical order (south or north), major downtown streets include Cesar Chavez/First Street; Second Street (Live Oak); Third Street (Cypress); Fourth Street (Cedar); Fifth Street (Pine); Sixth Street (Pecan); Seventh Street (Bois d' Arc); Eighth Street (Hickory); Ninth Street (Ash); 10th Street (Mulberry); and 11th Street (Mesquite). Wrap up the day with a stop at Central Market (4001 North Lamar, at 38th & Lamar), where the incredible (and huge!) Cobb salad is a great choice for noshing.
Streets that cross the river are marked North on the north side (like North Lamar). Grab breakfast at Austin Java (1206 Parkway at 12th and Lamar) -- don't miss the migas (Tex-Mex breakfast dish of tortillas, eggs, and cheese) or the great coffee -- then head to nearby town of New Braunfels for a bit of German culture. Neighboring cities and suburbs outside Austin proper include Round Rock, Pflugerville, Taylor, and Georgetown to the north, and Kyle, Buda, San Marcos, and New Braunfels to the south. As for Austin's proximity to major Texas cities, Dallas is about three hours to the north, San Antonio is about 90 minutes south, and Houston is about three hours east. From east to west, the streets (and the rivers) are: Sabine, Red River, Neches, Trinity, San Jacinto, Brazos, Colorado, Lavaca, Guadalupe, San Antonio, Nueces, and Rio Grande. However, there are some areas on the east side that aren't safe to walk through after dark, such as a few streets in the Blackshear-Prospect neighborhood. Area lakes provide scenic and liquid refreshment for the city, and breathtaking limestone cliffs like Mount Bonnell are great spots to take in the scenic and rolling Hill Country terrain. The rivers and lakes surrounding Austin enhance its natural beauty.
With the exception of Congress Avenue, Austin's downtown streets that run north and south parallel the order that Texas rivers flow throughout the state -- kind of a neat factoid into Austin's city planning. Previously were called the names of Texas trees. Tornados do occur and they can be a threat to the Central Texas area during tornado season, usually March through May, but they're relatively rare in Austin proper. Altogether, the greater Austin area encompasses 258.43 square miles. Safety: Austin has a reputation as being a safe city as far as larger cities are concerned. The downtown streets that run east to west are all numbered. However, most tourists wouldn't be over here anyway, since most of the east side's popular bars and restaurants aren't near this area. That's not to say you should avoid the east side; there are excellent restaurants there, and neighborhood revitalization programs are in place that have done wonders in recent years. 1 day: Start your day with breakfast at Austin Java (1608 Barton Springs Rd), where the breakfast taco options satisfy every taste and craving, the migas are famous, and the coffee is roasted to order. Get active at Zilker Metropolitan Park (2100 Barton Springs Rd), one of the city's most popular hangouts for visitors and locals alike with its volleyball and soccer fields, huge trees, a great playground, and a mini-train for kids big and small that lets visitors tour the 351-acre park in comfort.
At first, there were no coil or leaf springs on the chassis, but, rather, new rubber elements. Get the DJ's approval first, of course, and then make your announcement in front of all your friends and fellow guests. Buy a great pair of boots at Allen's Boots (1522 South Congress), or cool cowboy attire, and then browse vintage finds at local favorite New Bohemia (1606 South Congress). It's also known for its political ties -- then and now. It's wise to make reservations one to two months in advance; these tours are very popular with locals and visitors alike! Output rose to 15 units, making the Lincoln an instant -- though very distant -- number two in the three-way domestic limousine sales race. Elvis Presley admires the 1967 Lincoln Executive Limousine given to him by longtime manager Colonel Tom Parker. That made them more unique; Lincoln had dropped ragtops from regular production after 1967 due to declining public demand. However, the city tends to be more tourist-friendly west of Interstate 35, where most of the bars and restaurants are anyway.
