2nd Street District

The 2ND Street District is made up of some of the best shopping spots in Austin, along with many dining and entertainment venues. It is also home to several residential buildings and is a true mixed-use development in the heart of downtown. If you stopped someone carrying a shopping bag along the boutique-lined sidewalk and asked which store the bag came from, you're more likely to hear an unfamiliar calling card than a standard chain, along with an enthusiastic story about the cool owner of the shop from whence the tote (most likely eco-friendly) came. From local favorites such as Austin Rocks and Toy Joy to clothing, housewares and groceries, 2nd Street District has just about everything.
