My friends and I are finally jumping on the brunch bandwagon socialites have been riding for years: what better way to rehash the night before than over hashbrowns and mimosas? Hair of the dog … So we went to Moonshine awhile ago and loved it. Yesterday we hit a spot most of us didn’t even…

Thursday is back to being Thursday
Last week, Wednesday was the new Thursday: jam-packed with events. This week, Thursday is back and bigger and better than ever … must be the holiday season! I’m torn! Which to go to?! Magazine Issue Launch: Austin Monthly Austin Monthly is launching their December COOL issue and the winter issue of Austin Monthly Home at…

Progress Coffee is giving away FREE EVERYTHING tomorrow! I’ve never heard of such a thing! But from 6:30am to 7pm tomorrow, Thursday, everything on the menu at Progress is FREE. That’s free drinks, pastries, waffles with nutella, salads, paninis and wraps! They are asking that that customers consider making a donation to Bread for the…
Hey! Cupcake 2nd Location on Burnet Rd.
While I don’t personally care for Hey! Cupcake’s cupcakes (I MUCH prefer Sugarmama’s), in the interest of keeping up with the cupcake trend I feel obliged to point this out. Hey, Cupcake! opened a second location on Saturday, and this location is in an actual store rather than a silver Airstream on South Congress. But…
Carnival ‘O’ Pizza at Home Slice

Home Slice Carnival O Pizza Noon – 7pm The 3rd annual Carnival O Pizza hosted by Home Slice is this Saturday!…
Twin Liquors jumps on the Spec’s/Grapevine Bandwagon
Which isn’t a bad thing. Turn shopping for liquor/beer/wine into shopping for the aforementioned plus cheese/crackers/gourmet food/chocolate and you’ve got yourself a whole afternoon–especially if it’s Friday and samples abound (hi, me, tipsy at Spec’s). The new 15,000 square foot Twin Liquors Marketplace will be in the Hancock Center, just ripe for UT students. The…
I quote: “Free drinks and art viewing”

Wednesday Post-Work Agenda: 1) SHOP Join Austin designer Linda Asaf as she hosts her 4th Annual Austin Designer Sample Sale. Head to…
James Bond, Aston Martins, and you
Deep sigh … so Aston Marton and the Intercontinental Stephen F. Austin are hosting a Quantum of Solace preview to benefit LifeWorks … if only I had $125-$200 to go to the exclusive party … I don’t even know that I like Bond that much, it just seems like the epitome of cool: seeing the…
El Chilito is now downtown!
I had a friend who used to live near the original El Chilito (the taco-stand version of El Chile) on Manor Road and she used to talk almost incessantly about how good El Chilito was, and how she lived off their tacos in college. So when I found out that El Chilito Numero Dos is…
Sunday Afternoon Veggie Chili Cook-Off
They may bill it as the Vegetarian Chili Cook-Off, but all the chili actually has to be vegan! It’s just $8 to sample all the chilis there, and teams get wild with their booth decorations and themes. Sunday from 12-4 at the Historic Austin Farmer’s Market 6701 Burnet Rd. There are also door prizes, live…
