But fortunately, in the heart of town–just across the street from The University of Texas at Austin–is a shop that sells not only refreshing ice cream sandwiches, but moments of joy. I’m talking about the newest addition to the Drag: Moojo.

Moojo opened its doors last month and gave away around 1,200 free ice cream sandwiches. [Read more…]

A teal octopus swims across the facade of Alcomar on South 1st Street
