Austin Tidbits party!
Austin Tidbits Party at Sanctuary today from 6–8 pm. Brave thunderstorms and you will be heartily rewarded… I don’t think I’ve missed a Tidbits party yet. The people are always fabulous, the gift bags chock-full of goodies you actually want, and the snacks and drinks divine. Why wouldn’t you go? This round is out in…
Olivia, Uchi, and Weddings
What do Olivia, Uchi, and weddings have in common? Well, the first two are two of the best restaurants in town, and the third is a place where I found the best wedding cake and my new fave app. So food is what we have in common here, glorious, delicious food. Olivia the locally-sourced, Michael…
Hayashi … can you call something in Cedar Park a hotspot?
Plop this baby in the middle of 4th, 5th, or 6th and you’d have THE happening place in Austin (similar to upcoming LaCondesa/Malverde set?), but unfortunately, this Cedar Park strip-mall restaurant is in, well, Cedar Park. So the girls and I trekked up to Cedar Park for a Year of the Ox Chinese New Year…

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…
