Afterward, you can wander through the Austin Museum of Art (823 Congress Ave) to view some of the best American art made since 1900, then enjoy a glass of wine at Cork & Company (308 Congress Ave), where reasonably priced and humorously-named wine flights like «Cab Ride to Manhattan» featuring top Cabernet Sauvignon wines and great cheese plates are worth the visit.
Make a stop at the Austin Museum of Art at Laguna Gloria (3809 West 35th St), which is on the way back from Mount Bonnell, and enjoy the exhibits that celebrate the marriage of art and nature.

But there may be no more sensible and delicious diet than the Mediterranean Diet. In my experience, giving up diet soda, for example, almost always results in improved blood sugar control, and decreased body weight and symptoms.

If you visit Austin during the summer, take in a free performance of the Austin Symphony (at Wooldridge Park, 9th and Guadalupe), held each Sunday night throughout the summer.
1 day: If you’ve only got one night in town, Sixth Street is the place to spend it. Cross over to 6th Street and from there the sky’s the limit: try the ultra-cool Molotov Lounge (719 West Sixth) with its actual ice bar and premium vodkas, or grab a beer at Shakespeare’s Pub (314 East Sixth).
