Flyer says it all. Free wine and food. Delicious food. Delicious wine. From the cute little house atop the hill just on the other side of 35 on 7th Street. Do it. When else do you get offered free booze on a Saturday night from 5pm-close??

Exclusive invite: Rebel Rebel Mojito Happy Hour
Loyal readers, we’re invited to a Rebel Rebel Mojito Happy Hour happening this afternoon on that little street next to GSD&M that people forget about (also sweet West Sixth parking when you’re going out at night). More precisely, 609 Wood Street, tucked away under the trees on Wood Street, on the right. Free mojitos, appetizers,…
A Few Things I Learned this Weekend
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…
Free cupcakes at Brand-New Delish Cupcakes downtown
Delish Cupcake’s doors are finally open for business … although if you live near there (in the AMLI above), we know that they’ve softly opened their doors for about three weeks now. Point is, today is the day for the grand opening, which they’re celebrating by giving free samples of cupcakes, cookies, bars, and more…
Annie’s Grand Opening Tomorrow
Annie’s has gotten lots of buzz lately from foodies and old-timers who miss Apple Annie’s, a 26-year-old restaurant that spent a year catering-only and then reopened its doors as Annie’s just last week. 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…
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…
New Cafe Laguna by Austin Museum of Art at Laguna Gloria
The Austin Museum of Art at Laguna Gloria – the picturesque gem tucked away off 35th Street, 12-acre grounds featuring beautiful gardens, the Driscoll Villa, the Greek Temple of Love, and an historic home to art exhibitions – will opens a new Café Laguna today. Housed in the museum’s 93-year-old Gatehouse, Café Laguna will serve…
Bess Bistro on Pecan
I’ve heard plenty about Bess Bistro on Pecan, Sandra Bullock’s restaurant on West Sixth, so when 80% off coupons from restaurant.com came up for it, I had to take the $25 gift certificate for $2. Didn’t know there was a $50 minimum when Dad and I went there for lunch. Alright, we say, let’s spend…
Things to Do Thursday
As usual, happy hours abound! Come see me judging delicious Grey Goose cocktails at SIX Lounge from 7:30-10:30, hit up that vegan cart opening at 6th & Waller form 6-10pm, or stop by Union Park from 5:30-7:30 to celebrate the success of the 2009 Austin Under 40 Awards, from which the Young Women’s Alliance Foundation…
Cheer Up Charlie’s Grand Opening
Finally our hippie town is getting the food to match! I’ve heard great things about their coconut milk drinks served in a coconut, cacao drinks, and goji-berry-stuffed raw chocolate, but there’s more to come too! The east side is getting so hot … … And Happy 25th Birthday to a certain June bride …
