I need some Texas advice...

I plan on flying into Texas around St Patricks day in March, and eventually driving down to South Padre.  What city do you guys recommend? Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio?

Thanks,

Captain P

Austin...
Houston is a concrete hell, hot and dangerous (but you can easily race down the highways at high speed).
San Antonio is a kind or dry and rocky and full of Mexican culture.
Dallas to me was a fancier and cleaner Houston, but still flat and boring.

Austin is a very green and hilly and I best described it as a "land of fertility" with fine honeys to be scooped up everywhere.  Lots of parks, arts, shows, clubs, food, outdoor sports, dog-friendly, swimming holes, and more fine bitches.  The only downside that comes to mind is the sometimes-slow traffic, especially on I-35 near downtown.  I'm not sure where I'll be working at that time, but Austin has been my home-base this year so hit me up!

Yup, Austin is the place, Dallas is nice as well, other than these two, nothing else is worth mentioning. I've lived all over Texas...

Thanks guys, my only problem with Austin is that I heard a lot of transplants moved there....similar to whats gng on where I live in brooklyn......Almost everyone is telling me to try Dallas, so I might fly into Dallas/ft worth.  I'll keep you updated.

Sure, we have a few ex-Californians... what's Brooklyn's transplant problem like?  Hope you find what you're seeking in Dallas :)

Not that it is a problem per se, defiantely very good for the local economy, but in the last 5 years Brooklyn has become the "hot spot"....Sort of like Seattle in the 1990's.  There are certain parts of Brooklyn where almost 90% of the people aren't from Brooklyn originally, ex: williamsburg, carroll gardens, etc etc.  If I go to Texas I want to see cowboys, steers, and eat BBQ....lol

Austin area by far has best BBQ. Landers downtown for fancy BBQ or Salt Lick for amazing rustic experience OR if you want to get serious go to the town of Lockhart for the original experience. Austin has a more authentic Texas feel than Dallas. Dallas is just an LA wannabe. You won't find cowboys and steers unless you go to Ft Worth. The happening spots in Dallas is the Uptown and surrounding area.. lots of 20s/30s (and 40/50 year olds who think they are 20 years younger) with tons of clubs/bars/restaurants.. a very walkable area. The rest of Dallas is a concrete highway. 

BTW I lived in Dallas for 15 years and 8 years in Austin and have been every where in between.
