Hey Good Lookin'! Austin is #7 Most Attractive People City

In further Austin rankings today, new results from Travel & Leisure magazine's America's Favorite Cities 2012 survey are in, and Huffington Post just highlighted the attractiveness of locals factor on which we rate well in 7th place.

Folks in the Texas capital seem to be simultaneously quirky, smart, and buff: the only personal quality that voters were less-than-smitten with was perhaps residents’ tendency toward hipster fashion.

Even better than looks, we're #3 among 35 U.S. cities for the local singles scene, and rate high on being athletic/active (#2), our street food/food trucks (#2), music scene (#3) and barbecue (#3). Our worst aspects are when it comes to fine dining restaurants (#31), luxury stores (#29) and (duh!) summer (#28). See how we stack up on all counts here.

 

Get ready for a Pop-Culture-Palooza this weekend! We have a premier party for the return of Doctor Who, a premier party for the return of Game of Thrones, and a chance to pitch in and help build the only 1:1 replica Star Wars Starfighter in America. Along the way, there’s also LARPing, gaming, and plenty of other geeky get togethers.
