The Rumors are True: Annie’s is Good
Excuse the iphone quality, but how good does that plate look?? That’s some eggplant something (thin slices of eggplant wrapped around polenta in a marinara sauce with cheese), ratatouille (yum!!), and pear-walnut salad. Lovin’ it.

All the Single Ladies, All the Single Ladies … or Sirens N’ Boots Wednesday Night
Pardon the Beyonce reference, as Sirens N’Boots just sounds smokin’ hot, right, like a burlesque show in cowboy boots, like Southern songstresses ready to kick ass while lookin’ good?

Kenichi – good at raw fish
Kenichi has been Austin’s downtown sushi spot for quite some time (8+ years?), but with the recent additions of Imperia (a personal fave), Yu Sushi Igazyu, and coming-soon Piranha sushi and the stiff competition from heavily-discounted-happy-hour-hitters Kyoto, Silhouette, and Maiko (also a fave), the venerable spot is ramping up its image and offerings.

El Circo
On Wednesdays, I go play pickup sand volleyball at Krieg field. Coming up on the giant softball complex, hot pink and purple tents stuck our from the center. Right next to the volleyball courts.
