At 3:00pm on May 29, 2008 Maggies Austin did a sit in protest on the front steps of Truluck’s downtown Austin for not being open for lunch.
First, a little back story. In June of 2007 Maggie and I dined at Truluck’s for lunch in what could arguably be the best lunch [...]
If you are a fan of Andiamo in North Austin, you should run to downtown Austin’s newest Italian restaurant, Bellissimo. Chef Giovanni Cocciante of Andiamo fame has taken over Bellissimo’s kitchen in the spot at 5th and Congress where Noodleism formerly stood. This fact is apparent since the asian bamboo poles during Noodleism’s time still [...]
This Friday head on over to the Scoot Inn for a crazy dance party featuring electronica artists such as Rae Davis, Freshmillions, and DJ Hobo D. Tap to the beat of a different drum and step away from W. 6th for one night of drinking! You will not be disappointed. (Click on the image for a [...]
Considering today is only Thursday, my beloved Sunday brunch from the Four Seasons was not available. What’s a girl to do?! Luckily for my taste buds….they do have a weekday breakfast menu to reckon with! The lox and bagels beats any deli in town, and the cheese grits are the perfect side for any meal. [...]

I’m fresh off a great weekend and thought I’d post this really cool song by The Aliens. If you haven’t heard of The Aliens’ catchy song “I am the Unknown” from the movie 21 then you are probably either overseas fighting a war or buried ten feet under the ground. The Aliens [...]

The weather was perfect for this 3-day weekend at the coast of Texas in Port Aransas. You will [...]
This year to celebrate my 26th birthday, I could think of no better outing than to charter an Austin Duck Tour Adventure vehicle and invite my 36 closest friends. Did I mention, these chartered tours are BYOB? You can bring unlimited coolers of food and alcohol, my friends will not pass that up! I had a [...]
