Headed to Austin with two colleagues for business. We will have one full day to sightsee before the conference. Need recommendations for 2 nights for dinner, music,etc. Staying at Sheraton Capitol which is where the conference is. Other than stopping at a food truck park for lunch on way to San Antonio I haven't been downtown since I was in college- early 90's. Want my colleagues to experience some unique Texas things- BBQ, chicken fried steak (more for me), great country music, etc. All females so I'm a little apprehensive of what I'm reading about the homeless problem and crime. We are open to renting a car and driving out to hill country on our first full day. I'm also aware that the SXSW is the same time so I'm sure downtown is going to be a zoo. Would love some recommendations.
