If you're someone who routinely burns the midnight oil in the name of finishing up some work or studying, then you know that caffeine is an essential part of the evening grind. So it's important to have a go-to coffee shop that's open late, like Quack's 43rd Street Bakery, which welcomes patrons until 11 p.m. every night.

In addition to pouring hot coffee all day long, the staff at Quack's also whips up some sweet and popular treats, like the Salty Oat cookies. They're similar to your classic oatmeal-raisin cookies, but with the addition of just a touch of salt to highlight the sweetness of the treats. You can't go wrong with a traditional chocolate chip cookie, either, or a chocolate chip cookie infused with gooey peanut butter. You can also skip the sweets and pair your coffee with something from the deli, like a Cajun turkey sandwich or an Italian grilled cheese.

The art of printmaking is alive and well in Austin. So much so, in fact, that local schools offer university-level courses in the methods of printmaking. PrintAustin exists to give this form of art the level of visibility that it deserves in the local arts community.

From January 13th to February 15th, various venues around the city will host workshops and presentations to acquaint artists and the general public with print-making. Come to the Print Culture: Presentation + Art Talk on January 13th at Big Medium to learn the basics of this sector of art. Check out The Contemporary Print 2018 Opening Reception on January 20th at the Flatbread Press and Gallery if you want to see examples of both traditional and modern printmaking. Then on February 10th, come to PrintExpo at Canopy for live demos of printmaking and a showcase of more than 30 artists' work.

The peoples of Spain, India, and Egypt may speak different languages, but the language of dance crosses international boundaries. These are just three of the countries whose native dances will be on display at the Migrations World Dance and Music Festival, which is coming to Austin from Friday, January 12th through Sunday, January 14th.

Over the course of the weekend, you'll have tons of opportunities to learn distinct international dances at the Palazzo Lavaca, the Scottish Rite Theater, and the Hampton Inn in Austin. Many of the sessions focus on different types of belly dancing, which is prominent in many countries around the world, but dancers of all backgrounds are welcome to come and participate in workshops to hone their skills. Most workshops are $45 (although it varies from one to the next) and advanced registration is required for each class.
