Austin finally got rid of that ridiculous Palmer Auditorium, the huge seaweed-green civic auditorium that resembled a sickly turtle and branded the city as a place stuck in the past. A good deal of the old building was salvaged—including the chamber ring that held up the roof—but in the context of the new Long Center, the whole thing looks positively mod."

"Nestled in a scenic cove on Lake Austin, Abel's on the Lake is the perfect spot for a relaxing date or fun night out with your friends. With over 63 beers on tap, potent cocktails, and delicious food, Abel's on the Lake is pretty much a go-to for anyone who likes getting their drink on next to a serene body of water. (So pretty much everybody, right?) While the menu offers a plethora of good eats, they're known for their oysters and beer-battered fish and chips, two dishes that can be somewhat difficult to find in landlocked Austin."
