Austin at Christmastime is a lovely place to be – and I’m being serious here! Half this city’s population siphons out to other states due to familial obligation and whoever’s left gets to experience a peaceful city at last. In that seasonal spirit of staying right here, Bunkhouse’s Carpenter Hotel offers a sumptuous repast, family-style, on both the eve and day of Christmas. Sit for lunch at 11am or dinner at 5pm: Either way, you’re in for a treat. – James Scott
