5. Renaissance Market

Nestled in between two buildings on 23rd Street and The Drag lies an outdoor market where local artists hawk their wares. From candles and silver jewelry to tie-dyed blankets and framed photography, The 23rd Street Artists' Market sells one-of-a-kind items for a fraction of the cost a department store would charge.

THE DRAG.   What began spontaneously in 1969 as the selling of a few handmade wares has grown into a full-fledged, year-round arts and crafts market. Now, some 90 vendors hawk goods they've created themselves, and they're licensed by a board, ensuring that quality is maintained. A vibrant mural serves as a backdrop for folks who sell everything from candles to pottery, jewelry to apparel. Although the market is open daily, you'll find the biggest concentration of goods on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Near the University of Texas.   (© 10Best)
