It’s finally cold in Austin (for now anyway) and it couldn’t be a more perfect time to warm up with TRIO’s 3 for $39 December Dinner. They’ve been offering these amazing prix fixe meals for a long time now, and I’ve been talking about how amazing they are for some time now. But trust me,…

I am Daycationing
I am laying by the pool at the Four Seasons on a Daycation. Yes, it’s overcast and not particularly hot, but I am determined to make laying out by the pool part of this experience, so here I am, clad in a new ViX swimsuit typing away at the laptop. What is a daycation? It’s…

Dai Due & Hotel Saint Cecilia

Their Dinners book up way in advance, and it’s basically just two people cooking a dinner where you don’t necessarily know what you’re getting at a location you don’t necessarily know before you book. They range from $45 and up. The…
The Perfect Four Seasons Brunch
After blogging about brunch at the Four Seasons in Houston, I had to make getting to ours in Austin a priority. So this Sunday, I brunched with a good friend at TRIO, the lakeside restaurant at the Four Seasons. It was a stunningly beautiful day, and we sat by a giant floor-to-ceiling window with a…
Four Seasons Lunchtime Spa Retreats
Lunch hour is the perfect time to re-energize the work day with a quick workout, walk around the lake, or meeting with a friend. Now the Four Seasons is throwing a new plan into the mix: a little R& R plus a deluxe Four Seasons boxed lunch. Afterward, you’ll probably have the most productive afternoon…
Four Seasons brunch
I went to brunch in Houston at Quattro, the Four Seasons’ restaurant. If the Austin Four Seasons brunch at Trio is anything like its sibling, I need to get there stat. I’ve heard it’s good, but seriously, if it’s this good, it’s high time we put it on the list of things to do. Quattro’s…
Four Seasons Tree Lighting
I love the Four Seasons Hotel Austin, with their incredible popovers and see-and-be-seen lobby bar. Tonight, they’ll be lighting their tree and unveiling their crazy-cool Gingerbread Village and everyone is invited! 5:30pm in the lobby. Complimentary treats and refreshments will be served. I went last year and had a great time–the gingerbread village really is…
