I am so thrilled to finally be able to
feature my hometown of Austin,
Texas! So much has changed since
I grew up there and attended the
University of Texas, but many things
have stayed the same, like great Mexican food, amazing live music every
night of the week and Allens Boots
on Congress. There are definitely
some perks to being one of the fastest
growing cities in America—the food
scene has exploded with over-the-top
restaurants like Uchi, Dai Due and
Lenoir. Food trucks are flourishing,
and stylish boutiques have popped
up in many neighborhoods.
But with all of these changes, somehow Austin has continued to “stay
weird.” Maybe it’s the vibrant mix of
college kids, homeless folks, politicians, musicians, hippies, foodies,
socialites and celebrities living next
door to each other that has kept it so
eclectic, or maybe it’s that people who
are eclectic flock here. Who knows?
Clearly I am biased, but Austin is one
of the most interesting and happening
cities around.

Margarita La Condesa…one of my favorites.
