Some restaurants I ate at this week …
Turns out I tried a bunch of new (to me) restaurants this weekend! Imperia — the sushi happy hour was super-packed, too crowded really, and the sushi was passed apps, which means my friends and I each got about three pieces. They were tasty–cream cheese and eel, a crunchy take on spicy tuna–but I don’t…
Review: Thai Passion
Another hidden gem on Congress! (Like Silhouette Sushi) After wandering around Congress for an hour or so looking for somewhere to eat last Friday night–why didn’t my parents believe me when I said there’d be a wait anywhere downtown on a Friday night?!–we stumbled up Thai Passion at long last, tucked away on 7th Street…
Review: Primizie
My dinner at Primizie was wonderful. I can’t give all the credit to the restaurant, however, because the company was fantastic–three women catching up, laughing and joking all night. So the company made everything a little better. That said, here’s a breakdown of the meal: extremely patient waiter. He must have come back four times…

Tiff’s Treats to Open a North Location
Tiff’s Treats is a local legend among college students, famous for their deliveries of hot, fresh cookies. I had a friend whose date sent her a box a few hours before their date one time …. precious. Anyway, I’ve only had them once and thought they were good enough, but not just to-die-for like everyone…

Rumor Mill: Austin Restaurant Week
They do it in a bunch of other cities, and I think RARE magazine is endeavoring to bring it to Austin. It’s a week where tons of restaurants offer 3-course meals for only $25 or $35. It gives people the opportunity to try restaurants they wouldn’t normally try at affordable price points. Pretty exciting! The…
