Austin on the Hoof

Informed by on-the-ground research, Herb Lester's handy, folded guides uncover what makes a city special - its most distinctive shops, restaurants, cafés, bars, museums and galleries, whether unmissable old favourites, exciting new arrivals or overlooked treasures. Each entry comes with its own brief description, and a basic map helps the reader get their bearings and make plans.

This is an ideal companion to the Texas state capitol; well-versed in Austin's history and cultural attractions, it also has an eye to the wild side of life. The 49 entries encompass Tex-Mex restaurants and German beer halls, honky-tonks and cemeteries, record shops and natural springs. And, of course, there's barbecue too.

Printed on a single sheet of 100% recycled paper, these light, portable guides are an ideal travelling companion.
