Fader Fort SXSW 2013

Chavez: Shawn Cirkiel’s Newest Restaurant Gets It Just Right

Posted on February 6, 2014 by Edgar Barguiarena

Chavez Design Shawn Cirkiel

Uttering the name Cesar Chavez in Austin can mean a lot of things to a lot of different people. For some, it evokes memories of the Mexican-American civil rights activist, Cesar Estrada Chavez, who co-founded the National Farm Workers Association. Many others are reminded of East 1st St. in downtown Austin, renamed Cesar Chavez Boulevard […]

This Year’s Best Winter Seasonal Beers: Christmas in My Cup

Posted on December 23, 2013 by Edgar Barguiarena

NXNW Winter Seasonal Beers

As hoodies and coats start making an appearance, so do our favorite winter seasonal beers. We may not get hit quite as hard as our neighbors to the north, but something about “frigid” 50-degree weather makes me start craving a nice bourbon-barrel aged stout. Once scarves come out, I start hankering for a nice Winter […]

Insider Pass to ACL Taping with Dale Watson and Kacey Musgraves

Posted on December 9, 2013 by Edgar Barguiarena

Dale Watson Austin City Limits Taping

Austin, Texas in the 1970’s was not a lot unlike what we’re experiencing here today. Musicians and songwriters were fleeing the corporate music interests of Nashville to come to a city known for fostering a creative culture, yet struggling with rapid growth.

Departure Lounge Takes Dine and Dash to a Whole New Level

Posted on November 25, 2013 by Edgar Barguiarena

Departure Lounge Austin

Editor’s Note: Departure Lounge closed its downtown location in July 2017. Owner Keith Waldon plans to open a new location in the airport. Austin loves to mix things up. We want great food and drinks while watching the latest releases at the Drafthouse, or a quick round of embarrassing karaoke after rolling a few frames at The […]

Lenoir Austin

It’s a crisp early Autumn evening as you stroll through the neighborhood in no particular hurry, but eager to enjoy a good meal. You walk in and are instantly enveloped by a delicious aroma you recognize, yet can’t quite place. But it feels familiar. The place almost feels like home, but as you make your […]
