Happy Friday ATX! 🤠 Edition #81

Weekend loading…… 🌐

Labor day weekend, Texas vs ohio state, new Desnudo Coffee location, dance parties and so much more…

This is why we live here 👏🏼

Anyways let’s jump into things! Here’s your meme for this week!

Best thing we ate this week… We love our Hopdoddy, and right now they have a chicken lollipop special which is where they do the french cut chicken drummettes that lollipop at the end of the bone. They’re served with buffalo sauce and jalapeno ranch and while I don’t think they’re quite up to par with Tommy Want Wingy’s version, they were still pretty dang good. As with every trip to HD we completed the meal with parmesan truffle fries. We didn’t drink anything, but it’s worth noting that they have been rolling out a bunch of delicious looking new cocktails, and usually their drinks hit the spot.

Zilker retreat with timeless Austin vibes. Perched above the park, this 3BD/2.5BA home (plus studio) blends original charm, like classic stonework in the living room, with modern updates throughout. Light-filled living spaces flow into a sleek kitchen with stainless appliances, while the primary suite feels like a treehouse escape under majestic oaks. Multiple decks offer serene views, perfect for unwinding or entertaining. Step outside to Zilker Park, Umlauf Sculpture Garden, and Barton Springs Pool, or stroll Barton Blvd for endless food, drinks, and culture. A rare mix of tranquility and walkable Austin energy.
