Saturdays in Austin are sometimes lazy recovery days, and sometimes jam-packed adventure days. OK, who am I kidding, they’re always adventurous, sometimes I just choose to laze about instead of partaking. But this Saturday I won’t be missing out on any of these awesome events: 9-11:30am: The Movement @ RunTex on Lake Austin Blvd The…

Before your rave day, check out: Christmas in July at Soigne Boutique, 6-8pm Mr. Clause will make an appearance a little…
Frozen Yogurt is the New Cupcake
It’s bad. It’s the new trend. And I’m totally on the bandwagon. My new frozen yogurt obsession started with an innocuous trip to the MamboBerry trailer on South Congress, where they serve yogurt that is frozen. Absurd delicious. The whole fam, including the Cali Aunt and Uncle, loved it. Tart and sour with nuts and…
Milano Cafe is a European Haven in Austin
Let’s work backwards: I don’t usually get dessert, but when they bring you a tiny plate with four bites of four different desserts, you don’t refuse. And when charming owner Sami Demi proceeds to tell you how Croatian tirimisu has 1/4 the calories of other tirimisus, and you don’t even like tirimisu, but you try…
Cheer Up Charlie’s Grand Opening
Finally our hippie town is getting the food to match! I’ve heard great things about their coconut milk drinks served in a coconut, cacao drinks, and goji-berry-stuffed raw chocolate, but there’s more to come too! The east side is getting so hot … … And Happy 25th Birthday to a certain June bride …
Food Coma at Roaring Fork North
Oh. My. Stars. Or some equally astounded proclamation. I ate more food last night at Roaring Fork North than any human should ever eat in one sitting. Going into it, I thought, ah, I’m doing the Spartan 300 Challenge, doing a good job of watching what I eat, I’ll just nibble on some stuff ……
Wednesday Night – It’s all about the Bachelors … or Puppies?
Apparently there’s some breast cancer research fundraising going on, because the word (is it really even a word?) “Ta-Tas” is flying around like the ‘t’ is about to be extinct. Nonetheless, here’s info on the TaTa Event: Live Music, Dancing, Date Auction & Good Philanthropic Fun for Everyone! Speakeasy 412 Congress Ave, 6–9 pm Single?…

Is your workout gear suffering from cardio-arrest? (Har,har) Replace your old duds during the pre-summer sale at Bettysport today through Sunday. Everything in both the downtown and Domain locations is at least 20% off, with plenty of 30% and 50% racks. I stopped by earlier and the $10 rack already looks slim, while the $25…

Freakin’ Full Weekend
First and foremost, the weekend has already been entirely usurped by the joy that is the Texas Hill Country Wine + Food Festival. I heard Thursday night’s Culinary Masters dinner was exquisite, and tonight’s Stars Across Texas Grand Tasting promises to be the glitziest of the events, held at the Long Center. Among Saturday’s full…
