Hi y'all, City Editor Morgan here. I'm celebrating my one-year anniversary at ATXtoday, and my favorite part about the job is exploring the Capital City.

In honor of spending 365 days in your inbox, I'm sharing 10 of my favorite places in Austin. Let's dive in.

Breakfast + coffee: Mozart's Coffee Roasters

You'll notice a common theme in my favorite local spots — I'm all about the atmosphere. Mozart's Coffee Roasters is my top pick for its serene setting on Lake Austin, jam-packed events calendar, and cases full of homemade pastries.

Lunch: Pool Burger

My ideal day in Austin? Spend the morning swimming at Deep Eddy Pool or paddling around Lady Bird Lake, then recharge with a cocktail + bite to eat at Pool Burger. Here's my order: the Pool Burger (add avocado), crinkle-cut fries with a side of aioli, and a Mai Tai or Frozen Hurricane.

Dinner: Numero28

If you've been here all year, you know my love for Numero28 runs deep. The Italian eatery in the 2nd Street District is my go-to restaurant for a casual meal, happy hour with friends, weekend brunch, and everything in between. I never visit without ordering the spinach and ricotta ravioli, but I also love the Arancini Tradizionale, prosciutto pizza, and Alla Cesare salad.

Brewery: Oasis Texas Brewing Co.

You guessed it — my favorite brewery comes with a spectacular view. Located 450 ft above Lake Travis, this pet-friendly taproom has it all: an expansive patio, live music, delicious food, and a game room with craft cocktails.

Wine bar: House Wine

Aside from its extensive wine list and scrumptious cheese boards, House Wine is my preferred wine bar for its unbeatable specials. Happy hour runs from 3 to 6 p.m. daily and all day on Wednesdays, a bottle and a board costs $49 on Tuesdays, and glasses of wine are half-price on Sundays.

Venue: The Paramount Theatre

As I celebrate my one-year anniversary at ATXtoday, The Paramount Theatre just commemorated its 110th year of entertaining Austinites. Some of my fondest memories in Austin are thanks to this historic venue — make your own at an upcoming show.

Park: Bull Creek District Park

We'll need more rain before Bull Creek District Park is back to its best self, but the park will always hold a special place in my heart. It's my favorite place to bring out-of-towners, complemented by a trip to the nearby restaurant County Line on the Lake and a quick hike up to the Pennybacker Bridge overlook.

Museum: Blanton Museum of Art

Summer temperatures are here, and if you're like me, it's time to escape the heat with indoor activities. Luckily, Austin is home to one of the largest university art museums in the US: the Blanton Museum of Art. Be sure to see "Austin" by Ellsworth Kelly, and visit on Tuesdays for free admission.

Place to work: Austin Central Library

Your ATXtoday newsletter has been written from the Austin Central Library more times than I can count. Inside is a treasure trove of stunning architecture and art, while the rooftop deck offers panoramic views of Downtown Austin and Lady Bird Lake. Pro tip: Check out the lesser-known perks of our library.

Shop: Pavement

When I get a compliment on my outfit, my response is most likely, "Thanks, it's from Pavement." From wedding guest dresses to closet staples, a significant portion of my wardrobe comes from the buy/sell/trade shop. Psst — its sister store, Leopard Lounge, is also a top destination for vintage finds.
