Yes, this little bottle will change your life. Are you hip to the cold-brew trend? Cold brewing is all the rage in coffee circles, namely because it reportedly yields a cleaner taste with less acidity and less heartburn- and stomach-injury-inducing qualities than hot brews. Some say the antioxidants are much better, others aren’t so sure.…

Austin: Choose Your Documentary: Taxes or Music?
As I just paid an inconveniently large sum of money to the government in the form of taxes, I particularly advise you to drop by The Blanton tomorrow night for a showing of the documentary “An Inconvenient Tax.” The documentary sheds light on one of America’s messiest problems — a fundamentally broken tax code that…
Austin: hopdoddy burger bar
All the way from Aspen, the buzz on hopdoddy burger bar is loud. So obviously it was one of my first stops as soon as I got back to town. In the old Cissi’s Market spot on South Congress, hopdoddy burger bar is serious about meat but whimsical without being cheeky everywhere else. Great vibe, and it…
How Genius are RunPhones?
On a recent cool-ish April morning, I cruised Town Lake for a run. I had recently read about this awesome idea: a headband with headphones built in. I was super excited, because then you can jam out running without the need to adjust earbuds or wipe sweat! For someone with small earholes (weird, I know),…
Austin: Easy Tiger (or, another 24 Diner post)
I leave for a just a bit and return to a dino bone parking lot under 35 and more bars and food trailers in Rainey than I can count. Downtown is sprawling, and come May, there’ll be this year’s Eastside Showroom, a bakery and beergarden called Easy Tiger, sure to be the foodie-and-mixologist crowd’s new fave. At 709…
Aspen & Austin: New Deal Site MooLaLa
Yeah, they’re a dime a dozen these days. But MooLaLa has two major things going for it: 1) MooLaLa has a High Rockies, CO section. I’m guessing most of these deals will be online. But it IS exciting that Aspenites could potentially see some deals! 2) MooLaLa is a pyramid scheme. And by scheme I…
Austin: You Know We’ve Made It When We Get a Blowdry Bar
Blo, North America’s Original Blow Dry Bar, is coming to Austin. That’s right, we’re now trendy and ritzy enough (we DO have a W, people) to have a salon dedicated to the blowout. I remember at 15 asking my mom’s stylist what a “blowout” was (because I read it in all the magazines, natch) and she…

Food + Travel = Perfect
It’s the weekend, so let’s all dream of vacations, particularly those in my beloved Italy, shall we? Petite Peche & Co., a boutique culinary travel food company based in Austin, recently released its schedule of culinary tours throughout 2011, complete with French and Italian destinations. Travelers can choose a “city” or “country” experience, both of…
