I remember when the “old” Mighty Fine was new, in the Arbor Walk, when the Arbor Walk was still new too … oh, Austin, you’re growing up so fast. Anyway, before I romantically delve into the past, Mighty Fine Burgers is the burger version of Austin-standby Rudy’s BBQ. The menu keeps it simple with burger…

Bar News + Ho Bus T-Shirts
So I’ve heard a few rumors about new or new-ish bars in town, just thought I’d share: Tonight starting at 10 pm is Jason Carrier’s Birthday Party at Molotov. Who? And why do you care? Jason is 1/4 of the Band of Bachelor Bros. that own Dizzy Rooster, Chuggin’ Monkey, Thirsty Nickel, Marq, and now…
Dai Due & Hotel Saint Cecilia
Dai Due is this Supper Club type deal that has this crazy cult following. 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…
A little taste of absinthe
When Peche opened on Fourth in the old Malaga spot, I was excited to try some absinthe. Not because I have ever particularly cared about absinthe, but because who doesn’t want to try something entirely new? Right off, I loved the atmosphere. The wall behind the bar is library shelves of liquor with silver ladders…
Au40 Happy Hour
Au40 Nominations Roundup tonight at Paggi House, co-sponsored by Tribeza. I posted on Austin Under 40 a little while back, but I still think it’s pretty cool and worth checking out tonight–plus who doesn’t want to see the new Paggi House? RSVP here. I will be attending a leadership planning meeting for the awesome upcoming…
Fashion Genius for Fashion Week
I know I pimp the heck out of Dogeared, but I really just love them. And while we’re not going to be trekking around in the snow running from tent to tent at any Fashion Week any time soon, I really love this updated fanny pack (call it what it is!), a hipster bag with…
Dogeared jewelry – FREE ring!
So I’m kind of obsessed with Dogeared jewelry. It’s so little and dainty and cute but simultaneously awesome and outdoorsy and nature-chick and happy. Basically, it fits anyone’s needs. And beyond that, last year they offered a free necklace with any purchase, and now they’re offering a free ring for your to Ring in the…
Designer Clearance House
Driving down Burnet Road the other day, I was stopped in my tracks by the Designer Clearance House. This rarely happens to me, but who am I to turn down Designer clearances? I turn my car around and pop into the little shop to be greeted by a friendly man named Lalo. I ignore him…
Let’s talk accessories …
Since life has apparently shut down excepting New Year’s Eve promotions, I have to find something else to blog about. So I’m thinking about accessories. Mainly because I a) don’t have any to go with my stunning vintage dress that I will wear on said NYE, and b) I’m thinking of cute things to get…
First Night
I have an existing post with things to do on New Year’s Eve, but after reading this article on First Night, I had to give it its own post. Click here to read. Basically, the giant 32-foot wooden clock tower on Auditorium Shores is for you to pin your resolutions to, and then after fireworks…
