I'm headed to Austin for 4 days and I'm staying downtown at the JW Marriot. I won't have a car with me, but it seems like there is plenty to do right in that area. Are there any can't miss places to go since it's my first time there? I was told to watch the bats at least once when I'm there. Thanks!

The Driskill Hotel is a fun swanky hotel with good drinks and live music located in downtown Austin.

Food board thread
Some good pointers in here. Lamberts is a bbq joint a few blocks from the JW. I really liked it. There is a toy store on the same block that is worth a few minutes. And the theater where they film ACL is right there as well with the statue of Willie out front.

As noted, sixth street is an easy walk. I think the bats are as well though I didn't do that.

Probably too late in the year, but the pool at the JW was packed when I was there. Some kind of Titos weekend/ACL. Lots of scenery.
