Keep Austin Weird Festival & 5K: Let Your Weirdness Show

June 23, 2016 by

There is no better way to celebrate culture and love for your city than to celebrate the things that make you different. The Keep Austin Weird Festival & 5K sets out to do just that. This annual festival will be held on June 25th, 2016 from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.

Aside from food and drink stands set up by local Austin vendors, there will be a ton of activities for festival participants to enjoy, like a costume contest and a sideshow that will be introduced to the festival for the first time. The sideshow will feature oddities like big toe wrestling and armadillo racing. There will, of course, also be a 5K race. But this isn’t just any 5K—it’s meant to be the slowest 5K ever, as the course is set up with “fun stops.” Make sure to show up in your weirdest outfit.

Cafe Java: Enjoy Everything From Coffee to Tacos

June 13, 2016 by

You can always count on hot coffee and a community vibe at Cafe Java. Since it opened in 1996, the local coffeehouse has offered everything you'd expect of a cute cafe—but you might not anticipate the daily specials. These are truly decadent breakfast, lunch, and dinner treats that augment the main food menu—which is already impressive all on its own.

Recent specials included pulled pork enchiladas with salsa verde and queso fresco on top, plus Spanish rice and refried beans on the side. As a breakfast treat, the chef offered churro French toast, dished out smothered in cream cheese icing and cinnamon sugar. You can also skip your meal and grab a slice of bacon-topped cheesecake drizzled in caramel. The standard menu includes sandwiches, soups, and a selection of tacos, so grab your morning cup of coffee and evening burger at the same place: Cafe Java.
