Subtle Mexican Vibes at Suerte
On a recent rainy evening (which has basically been every evening since August), I ventured over to the east side to hit up Suerte, one of Austin’s most talked about new restaurants. Not only is it a “Best New Restaurant” in Austin, but it’s getting...
East Side Victorian at Rosewood
I was super excited to see that the beautiful Victorian house that used to hold East Side Wines was going to be turned into a restaurant. The house was built in 1890 and it sits atop a hill, with the downtown Austin skyline as its backdrop. They did an...
The Big Top Candy Shop Makes You Feel Like a Kid Again
I recently wandered into Big Top Candy Shop on South Congress on a Saturday afternoon, when I had a friend in town from Dallas. I was like a kid in a candy store! Sorry, I had to. This place is awesome. Eye candy everywhere. OK, I’m done. In all...
Tropical Vibes at She’s Not Here
From the minute I saw the exterior of She’s Not Here, Austin’s newest sushi restaurant, I was dying to go. I love the huge, colorful, tropical flowers painted on the outside and the vibe on the inside is all tropical and islandy. This place gives me all...
K Pops of Color at H Mart
In December of 2011, I went to S. Korea to visit one of my besties whose husband was stationed in Songtan, about 45 minutes outside of Seoul. It was an amazing trip. One of the highlights was a huge Asian market called H Mart. It was like the Disneyland of...

The Austin Motel. So close, yet so far out.
“What did it used to be?” This is the question I’m asked by one of my best friends, Deb, any time I tell her I’m going to eat at a new restaurant or have cocktails at some new hipster bar. She has lived in Austin since the 70’s, so nothing is the same...
Are neon beer signs considered design?
Are neon beer signs considered design? Because if so, this is one the best designed beer joints I’ve ever seen. If you’ve lived in Austin for more than 5 minutes you’ve definitely heard of the Broken Spoke, but if you haven’t been, you need to go. This...
