3. Amy's ice cream

Vote Republican! Oh wait, that's in Round Rock.

EDIT: Judging by the things others have mentioned, Austin seems pretty tame and lame.

2. Mount Bonnell, especially at sunset
3. 4th or 6th Street (depending upon your scene) bar-/club-hopping
4. Zilker Park/Barton Springs

If you're willing to drive a bit out of town, Pedernales Falls and Enchanted Rock are both amazing places.

In no particular order:

1. Walk around Town/Ladybird Lake
2. Eat at one of our many fine local/ma & pa dining establishments (especially regional cuisine like BBQ or Mexican)
3. Catch a concert/show at Stubbs, Emo's, Antones, or The Backyard.
4. Browse/window shop on The Drag (Guadalupe) and South Congress
5. Take in an area attraction like the Bats on Congress, the Bob Bullock Museum, a Longhorn sporting event, etc.
