Fantastic Statesman column from Anne Elizabeth Wynn: Top 10 things to do with your kids downtown.
A quick synopsis:
1) S'mores @ Halycon in the Warehouse District.
2) Eating @ the Driskill Hotel's 1886 Cafe & Bakery, followed by a carriage ride or (for older kids) a stroll to the Alamo for a movie.
3) Fancy dinner @ Kenichi - a tabletop cookout.
4) Free live music @ Austin's City Hall, Fridays at lunchtime in the front plaza's amphitheater.
5) Saturday mornings @ the Austin Farmers Market, located at 4th & Guadalupe.
6) Sunday gospel brunch @ Stubbs.
7) Classic films and all-time faves @ the Paramount's Summer Film Series.
8) In October and November, Movies in the Park @ Republic Square. Bring a picnic!
9) Dia de los Muertos Procession/Parade hosted by Mexic-Arte Museum around November 1, complete with bat-winged chihuahuas.
10) First Night Austin on New Year's Eve
We love Wynn's suggestions, which include many of our own downtown faves. Enjoy.
