Best Street

TIE: SoCo, 2nd Street

Remember when Second Street was nothing more than warehouses, parking lots, and the occasional backhoe? The modern Second Street District is part of an urban design plan catering to people who live, work, and entertain in downtown Austin. Tied but not forgotten, South Congress still reigns supreme. The embodiment of all things weird, SoCo is a vision in color and ’tude. Pedestrian-friendly with eye-candy galore, Second and SoCo are the new faces of Austin.
