This afternoon, Friday June 13th, Seventh Street Yoga (quite literally on 7th between West & Rio Grande) will be open from 4-7pm and offering a complimentary yoga class at 5pm. You can also shop–their boutique carries the exclusive collection from Zobha, as well as lululemon and Hardtail Forever. I think this is the class they…

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.…
Coffeeshop: Dominican Joe’s
So I checked out another new coffeeshop this week: Dominican Joe’s. It sprouted up on South Congress and Riverside about a year or two ago, and I hadn’t been yet, so when I was looking for a new coffeeshop to try and their website promised me empanadas, I was sold. Unfortunately, the empanadas were beyond…
Blues on the Green + Volleyball
Summer is Austin isn’t complete without Blues on the Green. 107.1 KGSR brings some of the best local artists to Zilker Park for free outdoor concerts. It’s a beautiful, Austin-y thing. This year the lineup is pretty stellar! Concerts go from 7:30-9:30. Add in some sand volleyball, and I can’t imagine anything better. The normal…
Sittin’ in Bouldin Creek Coffeehouse
Driving over here, I realized why people love Starbucks so much. I was nervous. Nervous to go to a freakin’ coffeeshop! But I didn’t want to look like the newbie. Regulars are nestled into their fave tables with their laptops and “the usual,” and I didn’t want to stick out like a sore thumb. I…
Here’s a Secret: Snow Pea
Amazingly delicious sushi. It won Best of Citysearch in 2006 for sushi and Chinese food, yet you never hear/read anyone talk about it. It’s on Jefferson right at 35th, so it’s pretty close to downtown, but it doesn’t get any of the hype Maiko/Kenichi/Uchi get. But it is SO GOOD. We went for Mom’s birthday…
Real Estate: The Importance of an Agent
As I mentioned before, my brother and I are looking for a house. What I didn’t mention is that we’ve been through three. That is, we’ve put in offers on three, only to have something not work out. The Blue House had been on the market for months with no activity when we put in…
Aussie’s Blind Draw 4s This Saturday!
Word on the street is that there are still spots left in Aussie’s Blind Draw 4s tournament for this Saturday! Details: you sign up, they randomly put 4 of you on a team, you play! It’s $25 if you’re just playing, $35 if you want to eat some boiled shrimp too. I’m playing a three-on-three…
Speed Dating
So apparently we haven’t had speed dating in Austin before? I don’t know, as I meet all my dates in the gym or in the bars, but Speed Date Austin is welcoming itself to town with a party at Gruv this Friday night. The registration is full, but you can get on the wait list–and…
Review: Parkside
Parkside came to Austin amidst much fanfare–how many nice restaurants are in the midst of the 6th Street strip? It also has a sweet rooftop patio. A friend of mine was in from Dallas and had met a friend of owner/executive chef Shawn Cirkiel who said he HAD TO GO, so we went a couple…
