"Our neighborhood joint. Friendly people, delicious black mango iced tea, run by a New Orleanian. If you want to pretend you're a model in an IKEA ad, apply elsewhere."

"For those who like to dig through piles and piles of textiles. This is Last Call for Goodwill. It's cheap and smelly, and sometimes a treasure trove."

"Close in, far out."

"Yes, it will take two hours to get that burger during SXSW. So you should definitely go someplace else."

"take a sewing or art class... check out the incredible fabrics... soak up the inspiration at this colorful, soulful sew shop. If you're lucky, you'll get to meet owner-goddess Leslie Bonnell."

"Spring water (it's kinda cold!) with lap lanes for exercise, and a great shallow end for kids and big dippers alike. Glorious. Have a Jim-Jim's water ice after your summer cooldown."
