It's a frequent stop on author tours, so check the events calendar before you visit — there's a good chance a reading or signing is happening while you're in town.

Hancock Center
Austin
Anchored by an H-E-B grocery store along East 41st Street, Hancock Center is an unpretentious neighborhood shopping center serving the nearby Hyde Park and Hancock areas, with the kind of practical mix of grocery, food, and everyday shops that locals fold into their regular routines. It sits next to the historic Hancock Golf Course, so it's an easy stop to pair with a walk through one of Austin's older, leafier residential corners.
