Where To Eat & Drink At SXSW... And Why

The South by Southwest (SXSW) Conferences & Festivals are going on now through March 17, and this yearly event draws a lot of people from outside Austin TX.  In between the various planned activities, the attendees want to drink in (literally in some cases) the local sights, scenes, sounds and senses.  And we'd like to help.

We have gathered up all the stories we have collected from around the web that talk about food & drink related places in the Austin area, and put them on one map.  Click on each dot to see what place it is, and who was talking about it.

The full list of the stories are below the map - Enjoy!:

"Keep Austin Weird" should tell you something about Austin Texas, and that would be that Austin is not mainstream. The largest city in the U.S. without a franchise in a major professional sports league, Austin is large in arts and culture.  Comedy, theater, opera, symphony, night clubs, film, music festivals - Austin has a lot going on.

San Antonio Texas is perhaps most well known by two of it's nicknames - Alamo City and River City.  Besides their food, San Antonio has a lot of interesting places to visit, both historical (the Alamo, Riverwalk, HemisFair Park) and exciting (SeaWorld, Six Flags, Morgan's Wonderland).

Updated June 3, 2011 to include seven more restaurants visited by Guy Fieri.
