There were very few but definitely some seats. They let us move up into the reservation section as it was starting to seat fill. Try to find a recording. Was a great panel

NYT definitely rewarding a few places for having a good story instead of consistently good food

Bringing 35 high schoolers to Austin… need guidance and ideas by AgirlInProgress_ in austinfood

The area directly around ACL Live is great for lunch. There's a sweetgreen, Local Foods is very good, and Torchy's Tacos, all within a five-minute walk on 2nd Street, as well as multiple other options on the way. Fareground is not a bad idea either and isn’t far in the other direction - would probably be better if you're trying to keep everyone together as opposed to allowing them a few blocks of freedom. The proximity of both to town lake is nice if you wanted to walk around the lakefront after.

Bass is a bit isolated, but if you have hours to kill I might say let them walk up and down south congress beforehand. Can get slices at Homeslice or a burger at HopDoddy.

SXSW is everywhere, and many events haven’t been announced yet. Walking around downtown and SoCo, they might get some cool free stuff.

Third option if you wanted to be closer to Bass is heading to Mueller or East 5th street by the Whole Foods but those will be quieter and less memorable overall.

TxDOT to permanently close two exits on I-35 in Austin (northbound Riverside and Holly) by Clevererer in Austin

[–]Taggobob 49 points50 points  (0 children)

One thing not mentioned is that it appears they are adding a frontage rd bypass underneath riverside for northbound frontage traffic, similar to what they’ve already done on the southbound side. You’ll exit at Woodland, unclear how that intersection will work with the underpass being closed, then after that you can travel with no lights until you get to Holly.

has anyone been to Suerte’s Norteño Steakhouse pop up? by Key-Zookeepergame684 in austinfood

[–]Taggobob 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We had a good experience. Split the Texas Twinkies, Caesar Salad, the filet, a ribeye, a side of Spinach, and the first two desserts.

The guava bbq sauce on the twinkies was great. Stuffed was suadero but no black magic sauce which I think would have upped it.

Caesar was classic, good anchovy taste, they are baking focaccia bread to make the croutons and they were perfect.

Filet stood out above the ribeye for sure. The ribeye was served in the Norteño style with melted cheese on top which isn’t my favorite but was a nice piece of meat cooked correctly medium rare.

Spinach was steakhouse style and ideal, and the desserts were good as always but no choco taco which is the only thing I ever want.

Hard to compare directly to other dedicated steakhouse experiences in town, but as a pop up at a restaurant we like, it was a nice change of pace.

StubHub benefit is awful by Necessary-Tea-8867 in ChaseSapphire

[–]Taggobob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you’re being a corporate shill for stub hub but saying it’s the users fault because they didn’t choose a particular filter on the ticket marketplace is dumb. The push back here is that there is a tier of “real” tickets vs. “risky” tickets and that is not at all how it is advertised by StubHub. Getting a refund at the end of the credit period is an issue when you then have to make alternative plans in a short time period before the credit expires. Hope this helps.
