I can hardly believe it was 2 years ago that I hit up Imperia’s grand opening–and almost immediately bounced because it was SO CROWDED. One of my fave happy hour joints sure knows how to throw a party, but I can only hope for my own sake (and the sake of my free-sushi-loving-wallet) that this…

Thursday: Spas + Jewels + new bars
As usual, Thursday night is packed with stuff. Don’t let the cold, dreary rain keep you from partying! This particular Thursday is the last before the SXSW madness strikes, but Cuatro’s is getting in on the fun early with some sort of college party, see my spreadsheet (tab: SXSW 2009) for more details. As far…
Resaurant Week List Posted!
Each participating restaurant is offering a 3-course prix fixe dinner (appetizer, entree, dessert) for either $25 or $35 per person. Austin Restaurant Week is October 12-15 and 19-22. They expect every restaurant to be packed every night during ARW, so make some reservations stat! (Walk-ins are accepted, but reservations are strongly recommended) Austin Restaurant Week…
Restaurant Week = $25 three-course meals!
Restaurant week … all the other cities have them, and I earlier this year I wrote about rumors of an Austin Restaurant Week in October. Well, KGSR has apparently beaten Rare magazine to the punch, as the radio station that brings us free live music events Blues on the Green, Unplugged at the Grove, and…
Austin Monthly Bachelor Issue Release Party
The Bachelor issue launches tonight at Gibson Guitar showroom at Penn Field. It’s an RSVP-only shindig with free food from Cuba Libre and Imperia and free drinks from Bombay Sapphire. Last time I went to one of their issue releases, they were pretty strict on the guestlist, so it’s not a party I’d recommend crashing.…
Some restaurants I ate at this week …
Turns out I tried a bunch of new (to me) restaurants this weekend! Imperia — the sushi happy hour was super-packed, too crowded really, and the sushi was passed apps, which means my friends and I each got about three pieces. They were tasty–cream cheese and eel, a crunchy take on spicy tuna–but I don’t…
Review: Thai Passion
Another hidden gem on Congress! (Like Silhouette Sushi) After wandering around Congress for an hour or so looking for somewhere to eat last Friday night–why didn’t my parents believe me when I said there’d be a wait anywhere downtown on a Friday night?!–we stumbled up Thai Passion at long last, tucked away on 7th Street…
FREE sushi & sake at Imperia!
It sounds too good to be true, which is why I’m giving you such advance notice. Thursday July 3rd, Imperia introduces SUSHI to its already award-winning offerings. From 6-8, the restaurant will be serving complementary sushi and sake. I’ll be there. I haven’t been to Imperia, though it’s definitely on my list of want-to-go-there places.…
