I'm here right now and this place sucks! fricking hipsters everywhere you look, people waiting in long-arse lines for mediocre burgers and ice cream. Earlier today I watched a young Latino woman riding her bike, had the "OK to cross" symbol lit up, and a car pulled up into the crossing lane, so she just rammed her bike right in to the car. Black woman and man jumped out and threatened to beat her arse and she rode away saying, "frick off." Later when I went to HEB a woman was on a drunken/drug-induced profanity-laced tirade in the parking lot, yelling obscenities left and right. There are homeless people on every damn corner. Terrible traffic and construction everywhere. Asked some locals for some recs on what to do, and they told me go to Alamo Drafthouse to catch a movie, or "walk South Lamar", go to Central Market for live music, or to the "hot spot" with great restaurants called "The Domain." Looked to see what restaurants they had there, and it was shite like CPK and Kona Grill -- it's like Perkins Rowe 2.0. WTF? Baton Rouge is better than this.

Ed Orgeron would have to be elected mayor of Austin for it to reach the depths of hell like Baton Rouge has.

Austin has some pretty awesome restaurants and live music. Sounds like you're just too stupid to find it all.

You sound like you would be happier where there are no humans.

I think the BR hate on here is way overblown but Austin is a much nicer city. My sister has lived there for 10 years and we go relatively often. The hipsters are annoying.

I've been to several of the "hot" restaurants since I've been here: went to Kemuri Tatsu-ya tonight. Mediocre at best.

Here's what the average "men" look like here, except many are rocking porn star mustaches and man buns w/ undercuts...








I swear if I see one more dude rocking a Hawaiian shirt and Chubbies I'm gonna kill a mother fricker

It was a great place as late as 25 years ago, when I went to UT.

It went downhill after about 2000, and especially once Californians flocked.

The traffic is horrible.

Oh, I get it now. You're looking for a place with more hot guys.

Sorry, can't help you.

No, I'm looking for a place where men are actually masculine, not effeminate cucks wearing shorty shorts and cuffed short-sleeve button-ups.

If you are from Seattle nothing much, if you are from anywhere in La pretty much everything.

Not even close, I just can't stand effeminate, supposedly-straight men that sound like Todd Chrisley. Did see some good-looking women at Barton Springs, but that's about the only good thing so far.

Here's what my waiter looked like.
