August 15, 2014 by

Whether you're looking to laugh, cry, grip your seat tightly with excitement, or come away deep in thought, the provoking productions at The City Theatre are said to be worth seeing.

The City Theater Company's goal is to "enlighten, enhance, and enrich" greater Austin by offering exceptional theatrical experiences. Their space certainly helps this goal; customers say the intimate quality of the small stage and seating allow for a more intense theatre experience. It lets audiences appreciate the humor of plays like Steel Magnolias, as well as feel the intensity of works like A Streetcar Named Desire.

With its close proximity to Elan East, The City Theatre is a perfect destination for theatre-lovers and occasional visitors alike. Customers say it is an excellent place to see great and affordable theatre, and that drinks and snacks are appropriately priced, unlike at many other venues.

Haymaker: Hearty Comfort Food near Elan East in Austin

August 7, 2014 by

"Darn good poutine. Ice cold beer. Big, burly sandwiches." This is the tagline of Austin's Haymaker, a local restaurant near Elan East inspired by the neighborhood bars of the Midwest and Northeast. Chefs and bartenders both adhere strictly to the eatery's motto in everything they do, whether they're pouring a pint of craft beer, making poutine, or piling together a towering sandwich.

Set up shop in front of a TV and watch whichever game plays that evening while you wait for your food. According to Yelp reviewers, you can't really go wrong with any of the sandwiches, since they're all stuffed with natural meats and whole ingredients—no preservatives, artificial ingredients, or fillers. The sweet potato waffle fries are actually the best item on the menu, say regular customers. So whether you get a 1/3-pound burger, a grilled cheese, or the namesake Haymaker with rare roast beef, fries, gruyere sauce, tomatoes, slaw, and a single fried egg, add an order of sweet potato waffle fries for the full Haymaker experience.

Wholesome family fun can be a little tricky to come by after dark, but we have a suggestion: Splash Movie Nights!

This Saturday, Deep Eddy Pool's movie night will bring the affable characters from Despicable Me 2 to this municipal pool near Elan East.

Be sure to bring your favorite snacks and refreshments; you might work up an appetite wading around during the 98-minute movie. And don't forget to pack some towels!

Splash Movie Night at Deep Eddy Pool begins at dusk—around 8:45 p.m.— Saturday, August 2. Admission is a bargain, priced between $1 and $3. See the Deep Eddy Pool website for complete details.
