Take A Tasty Adventure & Explore

It's not like Austinites to sit around on the weekends watching TV, staying indoors, but to get out in our beautiful city and experience it. I know my weekends are full of activities around Austin, and that's not just because I'm a college student. I know many families that attend festivals, venture downtown, visit parks, and the list could on forever.

The one thing that Austinites or even non-locals can ALWAYS do on a weekend in is be engaged with Austin's food. Everyone has to eat and why not make one of your weekend activities revolve around food. Sounds perfect to me!
In answer to that I might say, "I have no idea where to start, or where to go." The perfect solution to this is Austin Eats Food Tours!


Austin Eats Food Tours offers spectacular tours every Saturday and Sunday. You take a 3 hour tour from 10am-1pm, visiting 7-8 local eateries and sampling there most tasty dishes. Walking in between restaurants not only do you get a little bit of site-seeing of Austin, but some exercise as well.

Austin Eats Food Tours only started a couple months ago, which is why you might not have heard much about them. The tours were only recently created by a cute young couple home to Austin who wanted to share that love for that local Austin vibe.

They currently have 2 tours up and running that can be booked today and 2 tours in the making.
The South Congress Tour is held every Sunday. Taking you on a trip down South Congress to experience some of the hip, eclectic food Austin has to offer.
The Downtown Tour is held every Saturday. Taking you to enjoy the relaxed side of downtown at various restaurants and the famers market before the party begins on 6th street at night.
The Barton Springs Tour and a tour Condensed Tour, having three tours complied into one, will be coming soon. So something new to look forward to if you’ve already checked out the other 2 tours.

Being a recently new business, Austin Eats Food Tours has made sure to get right on track with their social media and is doing a great job at it. Keeping their website very informational and updating their Facebook and Twitter keeps them just in line with other local businesses. This is giving them a good fresh start to stay connected with the community.

I think Austin Eats Food Tours is something worth checking out. I look forward to hearing more people talk about their experience on the tours and about the new ones coming up as well.
I guess this is another thing to put on my list of To Do’s for my weekend!

"One city. Two weeks. Three courses."

Despite a delay and a little bit of website technical difficulties, Austin Restaurant Week is still on the calendar and soon to be arriving!
To ensure that Austinites and non-local foodies are able to experience it "all", Austin Restaurant Week has been pushed back to April 10-13 & April 17-20. This way it won't interfere with Texas Hill Country Wine & Food Festival, which talked about previously and we know is something no one wants to miss out on.

I must say that Austin hosts many fun-filled weekends and weeks for its foodies: SXSW, Wine & Food Festival, and now Austin Restaurant Week. If you haven't had the chance to experience Austin's food industry, March and April have given plenty of opportunities to do so.

Austin Restaurant Weeks is to celebrate Austin dinning and the culinary arts.
Get excited college students this time it's not too expensive! Costs ranging for lunch $10-15 and dinner $25-35.
This is your opportunity to dine at some of Austin's fabulous restaurants for their favorite three course meals.
Whether you want to go to your favorite place or venture and try something new, this is the week to do it!

Austin Restaurant Week has its own website, which is very appealing and helpful. On the website is the list of participating restaurants. It gives you the option to view the different menus, read reviews, and even make a reservation. Also on the website you are able to download the new app. This app can allow you to find out all your information on the go. So if you want to show a co-worker or a friend you can show them straight from your phone if you download this new app. The app can do all the same things as the website can. You can see the list of restaurants, view menus, read reviews, see maps, and make reservations.

Although this app is very specific for the actual event, I think that events like this are a great time to bring our new apps such as bringing out a new food app. That way if there's an event people will have an opportunity and a reason to check it out and then there's more of a possibility that they will use it in the future. I also think that events are soon going to be almost expected to have some kind of phone app to make it more accessible.

So foodies get out there and do what you do best! Catch another week of tasteful adventures and download the new app to help you along the way.
