Snow and below-freezing weather has greatly impacted the US. In the Central Texas area, we aren’t used to it, so this winter storm has essentially, shut down our city. Here is information about what’s open, where to get food, and more.

In an attempt to flatten the curve of COVID-19 (aka Coronavirus), Austin is now ordered to STAY AT HOME. What does that mean? I explain what the mayor’s Stay At Home Order entails.

During the current climate, our local restaurants, food trucks, and workers need us more than ever. Since dining rooms and bars are closed, order takeout or delivery are the options until this ban is lifted.

One of my absolute favorite areas of Austin, is South Congress. There is an incredibly entrancing view you get when you are in the middle of the street and look north, straight to the State Capitol. Along with the feeling of such local Austin vibes, paired with all of the eclectic amount of shops, and restaurants off of this iconic strip!

Some of the most well-known Austin restaurants, under one roof, downtown with a bar, is exactly what Fareground at One Eleven is. Modern, incredible food meets food court.

My first stop in the Austin Restaurant Weeks conquest was The Hightower on the east side of Austin. The ambiance was far from perfect, the dinner and drinks were delicious, but pricey.
