A little over a month ago, I stumbled upon what might be the cutest nonprofit in Austin. Minis and Friends Austin is a group that loves miniature horses and wants to share their love with the Austin community. Founded in 2007, the organization brings trained miniature horses, no taller than 32 inches, to visit facilities […]
Hold Your Beer for as Long as You Can During Stein-holding Competition
Can you hold your beer? I mean literally hold your beer? Probably not as well as the stein-holding champions going into the final round of Krause’s Cafe’s Masskrugstemmen competition. On July 14, 2017, Krause’s Cafe is wrapping up its final Masskrugstemmen of the year. This is an annual tradition held in New Braunfels, Texas, part […]
The Tasty Spoon’s Gelato Spotlights Local Ingredients, Italian Technique
Editor’s Note: The Tasty Spoon is closing at the end of January 2019. Just in time for hot summer days, The Tasty Spoon, a traditional Italian gelateria, opened on South 1st Street a few weeks back. And if cooling down with delicious treats isn’t good enough, they also brought a fun new mural to Austin […]
PS35 Serves New York City Thin Crust Pizza in Round Rock
Editor’s Note: PS35’s final day of service was Nov. 4, 2017. I spent a few years in New York City, and some days I find myself craving an NYC-style slice of pizza. The kind that has a perfectly hand-tossed crust so thin that you have no choice but to fold it in half before taking that first bite. […]
Farmgrass Raises Emergency Medical Funds for Central Texas Farmers
Organic farming is undoubtedly a labor of love and we’re lucky to live in a region where this love exists in abundance, in comparison to other parts of the country. Austinites have embraced the fact that local, organic fruits and vegetables, and grass-fed, pastured-raised meat, eggs, and dairy purchased from any of the city’s numerous […]

From poor pay to middling tips to late hours, succeeding in the Austin music scene requires patience, persistence, and a little luck. Unfortunately, the music isn’t always enough. Enter Austin Music Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to bolstering our […]
Grounded In Music Celebrates 10 Years of Musical Mentorship
Want to hear a sad song? Over the past decade, schools in the U.S., including Texas, have seen a decline in arts education. It’s getting harder to compete for funding in an era of shrinking budgets, test-based curriculum and growth in STEM fields. To add an even sadder note, the problem is even worse in low-income […]
Everything’s Free When Zilker Park Celebrates 100 Years This Sunday
It’s an unfortunate irony. We tend to put off doing and seeing the things that are in close proximity to us. We know the view from Mount Bonnell is arguably the best in Austin, but we haven’t been there in ten years. We’ve thought about taking a boat tour during bat season, but we’ve never […]
