Happy Friday ATX! 🤠 It’s National Compliment Day! Give a stranger a compliment today! It’s free, fun, and hey you might make a new friend… 🤷🏻♂️
We humans are meant to create, but we’re stuck in a society that influences us to consume, consume, consume.
This is your reminder to create something this weekend, if we all shift our balance from consuming just a little bit more towards creating… the world will get even more beautiful.
Whether its music, art, writing, painting… just create something. 🎶🎨🎭
And with that… here’s your meme from this week!
Weekend Forecast: Coffee Clubs, Coffee Clubs galore. That’s clearly the theme of the weekend, but there’s a lot more going on than just that! WWE is in town, Phantogram is in town, tonight there’s a SciFi dance night with free popcorn at Kingdom, as usual there’s some top notch stand up comedy, and so much more in the event list below. It’s going to be another chilly weekend so whatever you do make sure you bundle up! ☕❄️
Best thing we ate this week… While Aaron was getting ready to play his show at Austin Garden & Studio, my mom, aunt, and I grabbed dinner at Eureka downtown. The space had a cozy, dimly lit vibe—surprisingly not as packed as I expected for a Friday night.
I ordered a glass of their house red wine, while my mom and aunt tried the Bacon Whiskey cocktail. It had a cute presentation, but the bacon flavor was so intense it was hard for them to finish. If you’re a die-hard bacon fan, you might love it; otherwise, I’d suggest going for something a little more subtle.
I went with the Fresno Fig Burger on their house gluten-free bun, and honestly, it’s in my top three burgers in Austin. The combo of goat cheese, fig marmalade, and bacon was spot on, and the bun and meat were both on point. My aunt got the spicy fried chicken sandwich and loved it, while my mom enjoyed her crispy veggie beet burger—made in-house, with great texture and a solid flavor profile. We all had a side of the truffle-parm fries which were delicious!
If you’re in the area or looking for a good spot before hitting the downtown scene, I’d definitely recommend checking it out.
Eureka Downtown
Most fun we had this week… We have both been a bit under the weather the last week, so we didn’t get out and do anything that I feel belongs in this section. So instead, I want to highlight some events happening this weekend that I plan on attending. If you haven’t noticed, the coffee club meta is strong in this city right now. I consider myself a coffee enthusiast, and so coffee, a DJ, and vibes on a weekend morning sounds like a total vibe. The catch is that there are THREE of these things happening at the exact same time tomorrow??? One of them will be hosted by Mushroom Cowboy at one of my favorite spaces in Austin, South Congress Hotel. Another one will be hosted at Ants Beer Cave feat. pickleball & cold plunges (home to last weeks feature, Knuckle Sandwich), and last but not least there is one at Codependent Cocktails & Coffee with Secret Disco Society. They’re all from 10a-1p so you’re either going to have to be very time efficient, or you can choose one and ride it out!
I find it pretty funny that 3 of these are happening, at the same time, with (as I write this) over 845 RSVPs between the three of them… haha what is happening????
New Business that we want to try… Fish Shop is a new restaurant opening up in Austin in Spring 2025 (so sometime soon!) and it draws inspiration from Old School oyster bars like San Francisco’s Swan Oyster Depot and Found Oyster in LA. Fish shop will focus on Spiny Lobsters, Dungeness Crab and clams from the West Coast. The team includes the husband and wife duo from Justine’s Brasserie so you KNOW it’s going to be one of the new go to spots for Seafood in East Austin. Here’s their Instagram so you can stay up to date on when they open up and be one of the first to try it!

Listing of the week
1115 West 31st Street Austin, TX 78705
Price: $2,600,000
Neighborhood: ‘05
Square Feet: 3183
1115 West 31st Street is modern Austin at its best. Think clean lines, big windows, and a backyard that opens up to Shoal Creek. There’s an Ipe deck, a pool that feels like a hidden retreat, and a wet-weather creek where you might catch a glimpse of local wildlife. Inside, it’s simple but thoughtful—open spaces, plenty of room for friends, and details like white oak floors and solar skylights. Tucked just minutes from downtown and UT, it’s a spot that feels connected to the city without losing its calm.
