Downtown Austin's most overlooked outdoor space is located on Fourth Street, at the halfway point of the block between Congress Avenue and Brazos Street -- it's sort of like a backyard to the 301 Congress office tower, containing a couple of trees and a bit too much pavement tucked away next to the building's parking garage and sitting right across the street from the Frost Bank Tower.
We've always been fond of this weird little nook, essentially a spruced-up loading dock, but it's the kind of place you genuinely won't notice . . .
