 Movies, Food & Beer |

Have you always wanted to enjoy a cold beer at the movies? You can here. In fact, you will find a nice selection of both domestic and imported beers, as well as wines and champagnes. The libations help you wash down the tasty pizzas, chicken wings or cheese- and salsa-smothered nachos as you take in a flick. Children at least 6 years of age can accompany their parents; patrons must ordinarily be at least 18 to attend on their own. The theater features mostly independent films. See website for showtimes, ticketing info, menus, special event calendar, merchandise and more. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Buy it fresh off the farm |
3414 Lyons Road Austin, TX 78702 United States +1 512 926 4650 http://www.boggycreekfarm.com |
This fully functional organic farm has won many awards for its urban farming techniques. Purchase fantastic fresh vegetables on Wednesday and Saturday mornings (9am-2pm). Or, let your kids experience real farm life right in the heart of the city—animals and tractors are some of the biggest attractions for the little ones on market day. While shopping for produce, take a peek at the historic farmhouse, noted as one of the oldest existing buildings in Austin (built in 1838). Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Czech-style brewery, free tours and tastings |
3301 East Fifth St Austin, TX 78702 United States +1 512 385 2299 http://www.liveoakbrewing.com/... |
Several Austin restaurants and bars have Live Oak brands (including Big Bark Amber Lager, Live Oak Pale Ale and Live Oak Pilz) on tap. Beer-enthusiasts will appreciate not only the rich malt flavors they find in the tasting room, but also the process behind the brew. The two brewers traveled to Prague to learn ancient techniques, and then developed their own unique process. The free tour, which explains how decoction mash, open fermentation and secondary lagering make Live Oak beers unique, takes about twenty minutes. Free samples follow every tour.

South Austin Landmark |
3001 South Congress (at St. Edward's Drive) Austin, TX 78704 United States +1 512 448 8400 http://www.stedwards.edu |
Architect Nicholas J. Clayton of Galveston designed the beautiful main building (1888) in a Gothic Revival style with Texas white limestone. A fire destroyed most of the main building in 1903 and after being rebuilt, it was again severely damaged by a tornado in 1922. The University received its charter in 1925. Since that time, the academic programs have grown to include business administration, theater arts and an innovative undergraduate program for adults. The graduate school includes a Master of Arts in Human Services, Photo communications, International Studies, Communication, Business, Theater and Spanish/Liberal Arts. Review © 2007, Wcities |
