We stayed at Austin Motel redesigned by lesbian hotelier, Liz Lambert into funky and eclectic space. Some of our favorite spots in the quirky city include The Little Gay Shop where locals and tourist find unique gifts, books, apparel and community, trans-owned CBD shop Ziggy's Naturals, and Lick Honest Ice Creams.
