The Omelettry Has Moved to a New Location! Have You Checked Out the New Digs Yet?

June 18, 2015 1:02 pm

After about a month into its new location (its former home was in Rosedale), The Omelettry seems to have hit its stride. Reviewers have been giving this legendary Austin breakfast spot two thumbs up for the larger space and the fact that it now accepts credit cards! And, it’s a bit closer to Elan East, too.

But don’t think that these changes have any bearing on the menu. No, The Omelettry still serves the same breakfast favorites it’s been offering since 1978, when owners Kenny and Joni opened their doors. Now run by Kenny and son Jesse, the eatery puts a high value on consistency, assuring eaters that whatever breakfast meal they might have fallen in love with as a child is still available today.

If you’re an Omelettry newbie, some popular options include the cheese omelet and the Spanish omelet, as well as the gingerbread pancakes. But, regulars say you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Not only that, everything is under $10!

Celebrate the Globe’s Best-Known Band at “Ladies and Gentlemen…The Beatles!” Exhibit, Opening Saturday

June 11, 2015 2:01 pm

Only the best of the best musicians receive a Grammy, so it makes sense that the Grammy Museum only showcases the work of top performers from the past and present. Unsurprisingly, The Beatles land on that list. That's why the Grammy Museum curated and designed "Ladies and Gentleman…The Beatles!" The traveling exhibit portrays the everlasting impact that the band had on the music scene at the time, and how it continues to affect tunes today.

The exhibit will be on display at the LBJ Presidential Library, just a little more than a mile from Elan East, beginning this Saturday, June 13. It follows the trajectory of The Beatles' career from the moment they set foot on American soil in 1964 through the highest point of their fame in 1966. More than 400 items commemorate the historic band, including rare photos, artifacts from their tours, and instruments actually strummed by some of The Beatles, contributed by private collectors.
