Good Mediterranean food. A lot of locals don't know about this place. It's almost hidden but right down town. Fried cheese is a personal favorite. Not quiet.

Parks & Nature
Cameron Park and its zoo is incredible for a central Texas town. Huge, dense bamboo. Hiking and biking trails, frisbee football (I know it's called something else . . . ), and a just-the-right-size zoo.
