"Travelers can find lots of eclectic, one-of-a-kind gifts and souvenirs at the shops along South Congress, including a westernwear store with more than 4,000 cowboy boots on display. But Ortuño recommends the small cluster of stores, including Room Service Vintage, Revival Vintage, and Blue Velvet Vintage, along North Loop Boulevard in North Austin for all your shopping needs."
