Breakfast at Embellish
I don’t know who this Michele Whoever designer is, nor what she’s selling at this trunk show (er, um, jewelry). All I know is that I popped in to Embellish once just to see what it was all about, and I fell in love. I haven’t even had my nails done there and I still…
OMG the BEST veggie sandwich I’ve ever had
“I need your advice,” I say to the guy behind the counter at Jo’s on Second Street. “Veggie burger or veggie sandwich?” Without a second’s hesitation, almost before I’ve finished talking, he says, “Veggie sandwich.” Ok. Let me pause here and say that I don’t really like sandwiches. Most of them have too much bread…
Tidbits or Tribeza? Tough Thursday!
I LOVE Austin Tidbits parties. They’re rare (quarterly?), obviously causing them to be more exciting than Tribeza parties, and they usually have fab gift bags and super-fashiony people, making them way more exciting. Not that Tribeza parties don’t have fashiony people–and I will say they draw a fair man-crowd, whereas Tidbits men are randoms off…
Rare magazine party tonight
Mondays rarely feature parties with free booze thrown by magazines, but today is an exception! Rare’s October “Food” launch party at Hyde Park Bar & Grill tonight from 6-8pm. Free tasty bites and cocktails during the party! (SOUTH Hyde Park Bar & Grill location on 4521 West Gate Blvd.)
SkirtChaser!
I try not to write about things in advance, because when I read about cool things too far in advance, I say, “oh, that’s cool, I want to do it” and promptly forget about it. BUT there are some exceptions: when you have to buy a ticket/race entry, or when I’m super-excited about something, or…
Glossy 8 Party
The Statesman’s style writers are all abuzz about the Glossy 8 party tonight. I’m hoping that means plans are huge and it should be awesome! It’s the first time since I’ve been tracking down Austin events (about 2 years now) that I’ve heard about the Statesman throwing a party, so maybe that’s the buzz. Whatever…
GO TEXAN Restaurant Round-Up
As if October wasn’t full enough of reasons to eat out–it’s Texas wine month, features two $35 Restaurant Weeks–the Texas Department of Agriculture is sponsoring a Go Texan Restaurant Round-Up tomorrow (Wednesday) to raise awareness of Texas foods while also donating proceeds to food banks across the state. Participating restaurants are offering Texas food and…
Starlite, Star Bright …
Mmmm, Starlite. A dear friend and I dined at the venerable 4th & Colorado spot, a place I’d been wanting to try since a coworker in the industry (yep, I was a bartender at one time) said it was one of his favorite places to eat–when he was in the mood to spend lots of…
Hot Mama’s Room to Read
I’ve been partial to Hot Mama’s Espresso Bar ever since I wandered in one day to be greeted by an infectiously cheerful voice saying, “Hey there, hot mama!” without a hint of anything except genuine affection. I was sold. Then the coffee was great AND I got a Tacodeli breakfast taco … life is great.…
