Shop Austin - SOCO

The shops on South Congress (SOCO) represent the younger more vibrant Austin vibe. The long list of shops, intermixed within awesome local eateries, continue to attract attention from Instyle, Elle, and Lucky Mag.
SOCO offers a full day of youthful trendcentric shopping and the traditional monthly First Thursdays. A perfect back drop for the continual walking- talking social buzz centered around those enjoying Amy Ice Cream, Jo's Coffee shop, or the San Jose Hotel.
