This Sunday: Mueller Farmers’ Market

Mueller Farmers MarketThere’s no shortage of fresh, organic, local food to be found in Austin, and since last fall, there’s been yet another hub for the finest the area’s farms have to offer: the Mueller Farmers’ Market convenes every Sunday, rain or shine, from 10 am to 2 pm under the old airport hangar in the new Mueller development just northeast of Austin’s city center.  With more than 40 vendors’ crops from which to choose, you’re bound to find something delicious plucked right out of the fertile Central Texas soil just for you. Be sure to get there early, before all the prettiest fruits and veggies are plucked up by someone else. Bon appetit, y’all!

Every Wednesday: The Wine Down at ACL Live

Wine Down Wednesdays at ACL LiveFew things are as quintessentially Austin in nature as whiling away the late afternoon hours on a patio or porch with a drink in hand, enjoying good company and good music as the sun sets in the distance.  Knowing this, the folks behind ACL Live host “The Wine Down,” a 10-week series of free events each spring, bringing together the best local live music with drink specials, tasty bites and a heaping helping of laid-back downtown atmosphere. Each Wednesday through June 5, the ACL Live music porch opens to the public for free with a midweek happy hour that’s not to be missed.

Mondays this Spring: Motown on Mondays at Frank

Motown on Mondays at Frank
Good music and hot dogs.  Does it get any better than that?  We don’t think so either. That’s why we’re excited about the new Motown on Mondays event taking place weekly at Frank — that downtown hub of amazing hot dogs and coffee.  Starting at 9 pm each Monday, you can shake off those beginning-of-the-workweek blues to the sounds of Marvin Gaye, The Jackson 5, The Isley Brothers and more, all while enjoying a tasty hunk of meat on a bun. Sometimes the simplest pleasures in life are the greatest ones, don’t you think?

This Saturday, 12/15/12: FrankenBike, The Ultimate Swap Meet

It’s no secret that Austin takes its bicycles seriously.  All yellow jersey scandals aside, this town is full of cyclists and cycling enthusiasts, and it’s probably got more amazing gear per capita than most cities around the world.  So when we host a swap meet here, rest assured there’s plenty of gear worth swapping.  Held monthly, FrankenBike takes place this Saturday (December 15) at 1216 Webberville Road, with live bands, beer from Independence Brewing Company and food from Austin Pizza.

Bring what you’ve got and see what you can go home with; judging from all the die-hard lo-fi gearheads we’re familiar with around town and their dedication to the latest and greatest in all things bicycle-related, we’re betting it’ll be worth your while.

 

Saturday, December 15, 10 am – 4 pm
1216 Webberville Road
Admission is free
