1) Champagne bubbles are not good for Monday morning 7am sprints. Not the 400M ones, not the 200M ones, and not even the 35M ones. 2) If champagne bubbles are still in your system 2 days later, you had too much champagne at the wedding. 3) True, deep forgiveness is really hard. But really worth…

One of the greatest Austin institutions not that many people know about: the Deep Eddy Dive-In Movie. Hit it up this Saturday.

Exclusive Max’s Wine Dive/Penfolds Moonlight Tasting
So there’s this fancy-pants Penfolds’ Grange Shiraz that’s aged for at least three years after bottling in order to develop into an immensely complex and seductive wine with richly textured flavors, so wine enthusiasts salivate over the chance to try it.

Free cupcakes at Brand-New Delish Cupcakes downtown

Point is, today is the day for the grand opening, which they’re celebrating by giving free samples of cupcakes, cookies, bars, and more…
The King Comes to Town (Hello, George Strait)

Now (and by now I mean tomorrow, Wednesday, from 10:30am-3pm) is the time for the Grand Opening Celebration. There’ll be a ribbon-cutting…

National…
Milano Cafe is a European Haven in Austin
Let’s work backwards: I don’t usually get dessert, but when they bring you a tiny plate with four bites of four different desserts, you don’t refuse. And when charming owner Sami Demi proceeds to tell you how Croatian tirimisu has 1/4 the calories of other tirimisus, and you don’t even like tirimisu, but you try…
