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.

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.

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.

Everything’s Free When Zilker Park Celebrates 100 Years This Sunday
