la Madeleine: Enjoy Freshly Baked Baguettes and Much More

April 25, 2016 by

Growing up in France, Patrick Leon Esquerre learned to equate dinner time with fresh food crafted by hand and time spent with friends and family. When he moved to the U.S., he missed the camaraderie of French mealtimes—not to mention the fresh baguettes and aromatic espresso. So he opened la Madeleine in Dallas in 1983, the first of many branches. Today, one of the offshoots is right near Folio in Austin.

So head to la Madeleine if you're interested in savoring some of the sweet and savory French fare on the menu. The bakery churns out sweet bites like almond croissants and blueberry muffins, not to mention breads such as the mini sea salt baguette and the Seven Grain Loaf. If you're interested in a more substantial breakfast, try one of the customized savory crepes. At dinner, indulge in a decadent sandwich with a glass of wine on the side.

The Republic of Texas Museum Celebrates an Important Era in Local History

April 18, 2016 by

From vintage cowboy boots to historic portraits, the artifacts on display at the Republic of Texas Museum pay homage to a special era in your state's history. For the decade sandwiched between 1836 and 1846, Texas existed as a sovereign country. Although it eventually joined the U.S., the period in time when the Republic of Texas reigned is a point of interest for the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, which is why they opened this museum.

The Republic of Texas Museum gives guests a snapshot of what life was like when Texas operated as its own nation. The distinct culture of the era shines in pieces of clothing, works of art, and various other artifacts from the era. So if you want to learn more about local history, head to the Republic of Texas Museum for a quick lesson.

Ramp Up Your Workout at Kor180

April 11, 2016 by

If you're the type of person who gets sick of the same workout quickly, Kor180 in Austin will keep you on your toes. The fitness studio isn't far from Folio, and it offers revamped versions of Pilates Reformer and spin classes for athletes who want to take their workout to the next level.

The korFormer classes are based on classic Pilates principles but add an element of interval training to keep your heart rate up and your body moving. Instead of using a standard Reformer, you'll complete class with the help of the studio's signature korFormer, which allows instructors to incorporate different aspects of cardio and strength training. Meanwhile at the Ryde classes, the Power Performance Console stationed atop the handlebars of each bike tracks your ride in a way your typical indoor cycle can't.

Jack & Ginger’s Irish Pub: Don’t Miss the Jumbo Pretzels

April 4, 2016 by

When the menu at Jack & Ginger's Irish Pub says jumbo pretzel, this is not an exaggeration. According to one of the many Yelp reviewers who highly recommend this appetizer, it was almost too big for her and her companion to eat on their own. The gooey beer cheese and honey mustard that come on the side only add to the heartiness of the dish.

So pace yourself while you chow down on a pretzel because you'll want to save some room for a draft beer and an entree at Jack & Ginger's. The entrees include bangers and mash—featuring the Austin Sausage Company's local version of the banger—as well as more traditional Guinness-battered fish and chips. If you opt for a burger, try The Classic with whiskey onions, Irish mustard, and cheddar cheese, or opt for the meat-free black bean and barley burger with honey-Sriracha mayo instead.
