East 6th and beyond — breweries, converted warehouses, and Austin’s fastest-changing food scene.
East Austin changed faster than almost any other part of the city, and you can taste it — literally, at the taco trailers parked next to the craft breweries that replaced the warehouses next to them. Central Machine Works and Cosmic Coffee + Beer Garden are the easiest entry points if you want a lawn and a beer, but the real move is picking one street and just walking it. It's the neighborhood most likely to have the thing you haven't heard of yet.
