Sammie’s
Im a sucker for a red sauce joint. After living years in New York and Chicago, going out for Italian was almost a weekly tradition. Austin has some great Italian restaurants but when MMLH (MqGuire Moorman Lambert Hospitality) opened up Sammies in the old Huts Hamburger space on W 6th St this past spring all my checkered table cloth, Chianti drinking dreams were answered.
Austin Winery
Central Texas is home to a variety of wineries, but Austinites don’t have to go to places like Fredericksburg to drink wine grown with local grapes. Located down an industrial stretch of St. Elmo Rd is the mixed use development The Yard which is home to several home grown businesses (more on some of those later) including The Austin Winery.
