Sudoku is a stimulating and addictive pastime that’s great for down time at work, relaxing at home, or even waiting in line at the doctor’s office. If you want to start learning Sudoku or you simply want to find more puzzles, these online Sudoku sites are some of the best.

Gamehouse Sudoku
For everyone from the beginner to the serious Sudoku player, this beautifully designed site offers an endless number of games at your choice of beginner, easy, medium, hard, or expert levels. It features a time clock to help you track how long you’ve been playing, as well as Sudoku tips to help you improve your game. If you start to feel frustrated, you can also check the solution and begin a new game.

Web Sudoku
If you just want the Sudoku game board with none of the extra features, this is the site for you. Web Sudoku offers a clean, black and white board with easy-to-read numbers, as well as games in your choice of easy, medium, hard, or evil (yikes!). This site also offers an offline version for times when you’re away from Wi-Fi.

May the luck of the Irish be with you today.

What could be better than watching a movie while drinking a beer and chowing down on some tasty eats? If this is your idea of fun, head to Alamo Drafthouse Theatre for entertaining films, a great selection of draft and bottled beer and a menu of tasty food that’s way above what your average movie theatre concessions provides.

Settle in with a sizzling hot Grilled Eggplant & Jalapeno Pizza, a Royale with Cheese Burger, Tofu Wrap, or a Caesar Salad with spiced pumpkin seeds. Show up for their Master Pancake Theater and watch a movie while one of Austin’s comedians supplies edgy commentary. First-run and golden oldies are shown at this spot. See the Alamo Drafthouse website for schedules and showing times.
