The weekend is here and that means date night for many of us. How about dinner and a movie ~ at the same place? I’ve told you before about The New Galaxy Movie House and Eatery where Geno and I go for a fun date night. We now have another movie theatre that recently opened near the Domain in NW Austin offering the same type of venue.
This week I’ve got another Foodie Friday “Coming Soon”. This will be the 6th location for the quintessential sports bar.

- 05/02/13 09:01 PM
I was reading an article about how venture capitalists are making bigger bets on food start-ups with on demand delivery service. Well, Austin has been doing this for years with The Soup Peddler! The owner, David Ansel, says his “interest in cuisine was stoked by markets and street food from around the world.” After sending out emails to his friends asking if he could bring them soup. Part of the promise he made to those friends was that he would bring them their soup on a bike…then, as he says: "The Soup Peddler” was born....http://souppeddler.com Here’s how it works: … (33 comments)

Want to feel like an insider? A person in the know? Have you ever overheard someone say "Shhh, it’s a secret!" I recently discovered that some restaurants actually have secret menus - a list of food items you won’t find on their menu boards. It really isn’t anything new, but, not many people know about them; more and more restaurants are adding these to their menu list. Senior Food Editor Bret Thorn of Nation’s Restaurant News says that “If you have a secret menu or if customers know … (48 comments)
Planning a night on the town this weekend? But, you want something casual and maybe a little different. How about mixing some old Austin with some new Austin? I’ve got a place to start the evening out with drinks and some light fare; then move on to an Austin icon for a taste of old Texas.
1. CLIVE BAR http://clivebar.com/ To quote one patron: “Think of a ski lodge in the middle of Texas and you’ll start to get an idea of the vibe here.” Got your attention yet? Located in the Rainey … (34 comments)
