East Austin is the historic heart of the city east of I-35. Under Austin’s 1928 city plan it became the designated home of the city’s Black and Mexican American communities, and neighborhoods such as Holly, Rosewood, Chestnut and East Cesar Chavez still carry that history in their churches, parks and murals. Today East Sixth Street, East Cesar Chavez and the Manor Road corridor are known for restaurants, bars and galleries, and MetroRail stops at Plaza Saltillo and MLK Jr. Boulevard connect the area to downtown, a short trip west across the interstate.
