I normally just post rumors on the sidebar over there, but this one is too juicy to relegate to the sidelines: Paul Petersen, legendary chef at The Gage Hotel in Marathon (full disclosure: I covered him in a 2007 article in Texas Home & Living) is rumored to be opening a restaurant in Austin called…

I’m a Halloweenie
Last year I couldn’t think of anything clever enough, so for Halloween I went as my dog. She’s white with a huge black spot on her eye, so I wore all white, painted a huge black spot on my eye, and wore her collar and leash around my neck (at least people got a kick…
Cookie Lounge – Hello Candied Serrano Pepper
Candied serrano peppers. Sure, the dough is good, the customizing thing is good, the choices are good … yeah, Cookie Lounge is good. But the candied serrano peppers make the place great. They make your cookie fantastic. I had the gluten-free dough, which is made with amaranth–an ancient grain that’s so super good for you.…
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…
Let’s talk about the Second Street District
Formerly, I was not impressed with the Second Street District. My main beef was that it’s ridiculously hard to park. I get that it’s a mixed-use development and you’re supposed to walk, but say you don’t live there and you still want to shop there–give me just one free parking garage! Bridges on Lamar has…
Hello from Ecuador! + free yoga by lululemon
I never intended to be on the internet so soon in Ecuador, but I, um, forgot to send in an assignment, so I had to take care of that from a bajillion miles away. I can´t even begin to describe Ecuador … it´s a bajillion miles away. It has so much natural beauty bordered by…
Tiff’s Treats North Opening
The north location of campus-fave Tiff’s Treats doesn’t officially open until Saturday (and on Saturday, a dozen cookies are just $2, with proceeds going to Make-A-Wish and random prizes dropped in cookie boxes, so every purchase is a chance to win!), but rsvp to events@cookiedelivery.com and you’re in to the preview, where you get free…
Another Thursday, Another Plethora of Events
Good thing I have that fence to paint (it’s never done. You finish building the sucker and you just have to paint it) or I’d never be able to decide which of these events to go to! That and I’d go to the LAST Nike training run at SIX lounge before the big run this…
Vintage Mecca
I read in Melanie Spencer’s statesman.com blog today that La Luz Home and Fashion and Prototype Vintage are planning to merge into one vintage mega-store. The two will combine at Prototype’s South Congress Avenue location in August, with both stores offering sales all this month. Don’t forget that tomorrow is First Thursday, so if you’re out for the…
Tribeza Summer Bash at Bridges on the Park
The mags are all throwing events this week (Rare’s $20/person party on Sunday, Austin Monthly’s hosting of the grand opening of Home Enchanted home store today?), but were I in town–I’m headed to NYC in less than an hour–I’d want to go to this one. Who doesn’t want to check out some downtown development, try…
