I love the trend of buying a tee to support a cause: not only do you then donate money to the cause, but you advertise it every time you wear the tee. AND you get a cute tee to wear! Souther designer Billy Reid is selling this tee and donating 100% of the profits directly…

Austin: Do You Want This Ring?

Austin: Just what I’ve always wanted–a drive-thru at Coffee Bean
The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is now offering a “high-touch, personalized drive-thru experience” at its South Lamar location. Anyone who has been to the S. Lamar locale will immediately wonder, as I did, where the eff did they put that?! Never fear, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is better than that. Here’s how…
GOOD LUCK!

I am SO bummed I can’t be there to watch, but between the streaming coverage and CrossFit Central’s twitter stream and SicFit.com, I’m pretty…
South Austin Sushi: Yanagi
GREAT GREAT sushi. Terrible service. It’s a shame. I’ve heard a lot of people complain about service in Austin restaurants, but I don’t usually share their sentiments. However, Yanagi’s service was bad, and worse than that, when confronted about it, they acted clueless as to what went wrong. (Clue: ordered appetizer sea bass at the…

HARDCORE – there’s a new gym in town …
Classes begin TODAY at new indoor bootcamp-style HARDCORE studio, which offers 4 different classes geared toward training women to get, well, hard cores. Last week I had the pleasure of trying out original Hardcore and Hardcore Stretch, and I thoroughly enjoyed both. HARDCORE™ They say: A low impact yet high intensity workout for women. The…
Third Third Base
Not a typo, but in fact a real brick-and-mortar third Third Base. Opening this July at The Grove in South Park Meadows. I have very few experiences with Third Base OR South Park Meadows (one apiece), so perhaps I am mildly unqualified to comment. But I do know this: Austin must have the fewest sports…
