Coffee: Desnudo & Try Hard in east Austin, but i’m more of a regular at Genuine Joe in north central cuz it has the most wholesome weird Austin vibes BBQ: not a huge bbq eater but had Micklethwaite recently & was v impressed. Terry Black’s is my other go-to when i get my biannual craving Thrifting: Uptown Cheapskate is usually the best bet for clothes. Recycled Reads is a shop where the library diverts its retired books from the landfill - so many unique finds! a couple doors down on the same strip is the dustiest little antique store you’ve ever seen selling everything from vintage handkerchiefs & Disney pins to Hot Wheels & DnD dice. Thai: P Thai’s Kao Man Gai & Noodles on Airport (just opened this month) tastes exactly like the chicken rice shop i grew up with down the street in northern Thailand. Dee Dee food truck also serves fantastic northern Thai street food in south Austin

my absolute favorite spot is a little neighborhood joint called Little Tijuana. incredible vibes, the best margarita i’ve ever had, and they serve waffle fries with french onion dip that i go fucking nuts for. honorable mentions: quang has the best pho, and barbette is a lovely little french bistro, the perfect date spot.

But i don’t claim it I never lived in a part of Texas that had it. instead I would mention my city grocery chain Vista Market which had the best homemade salsas, queso, tortillas, chips, beans, pan dulce, etc… Circle K is from my hometown and it’s like my favorite gas station. but the only regional specific gas station I can think of is Allsup’s which I have so much nostalgia for. Idk about local gas station chains where I live now but I love Heinen’s for when I need to go to a regular grocery store! It’s one of the most pleasant places to shop I could wander around that store forever. they carry a good selection of local brands and nicer grass fed A2 beta casein milk than Whole Foods sells…

after five years of grad school and subsequent job search, i can finally say i have successfully changed careers 😭 i start my new job counseling kids at a community mental health clinic on Monday. yesterday was my last shift at the grocery store that was an escape from my horrible corporate job and a sustaining force throughout grad school. it’s so bittersweet to leave the sweetest coworkers i’ve ever had and the most fun i’ve had at work. it’s immeasurably healing to quit a job for only good reasons. my coworkers got me a cake, everyone wrote notes in a card, and the goodbyes throughout the day made my heart swell. i even got to tell the good news to my favorite instacarter 🥺 after i clocked out for the last time, my friends joined me for gelato at the cafe and we strolled the store for a final time, this time as simply a loyal customer.
