Right next to the Williams Tower is the Water Wall. It's a nice tourist spot. I've also seen
it used for a wedding, pretty tall too.

Fu's Garden - my favorite restaurant in town. Before I moved, I would eat here about twice a week.

The Alamo Drafthouse Theater- eat dinner while watching the movie, aka: heaven!
They also serve alcohol, which can be a problem. This is also the main headquarters of
Harry Knowles, founder of the infamous movie web site Ain't It Cool News. So far, they
are only in Austin, Houston, and San Antonio. They play normal movies, but they also play
things like Troma movies, cult films, spaghetti westerns, and other oddities.

Ferris Bueller and Fahrenheit 911, now there's a great combo! The River Oaks Theater (a Landmark
theater) plays independent, foreign, and art flicks. They also have midnight movies every Saturday
and Sunday. Some of the films they have played: Edward Scissorhands, Nightmare Before Christmas, The
Big Lebowski, Blue Velvet, The Princess Bride, Dr. Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and other
wonderful films.
