Splash Out: Austin doesn’t wait until the summer solstice to kick off summer. Temperatures will be dangerously close to triple digits most of this month, so be sure to plan ahead on where to stay cool. Book the Carpenter Hotel Pool Passon Resy for a daycation experience with food and drinks by the pool. If you didn’t plan ahead, Deep Eddy Pool followed by Pool Burger is a solid combination that you can pull off last minute.
Blues Clues: The beloved Blues on the Green is back on June 11 and June 12 at Zilker Park. After a brief cancellation scare, the two-day free event is sure to attract a big crowd. Plan ahead and make a Resy at Zoé Tong or their sister food truck Si Baby-Q, which serves Texas barbecue with a Singapore twist, located within earshot of the concert.
Support Black-Owned Spots: You don’t need to wait for Juneteenth to dine at some of our favorite Black-owned restaurants. If you’re looking for a sit down meal, make a Resy at The Diner Bar or sit at the bar at Canje. If you want a more casual meal, we love the Distant Relatives barbecue food truck at Meanwhile Brewery.
Celebrate Dad: Maybe it’s because it’s Austin or maybe it’s because they are dads, it’s hard not to lean toward meat-heavy options for Father’s Day. Dai Due is ideal for the dads who appreciate the art, science, and history behind the meat and Bartlett’sis nice for the dad who prefers the more classic meats. If you didn’t get a Resy at either spot, Peter Pan Putt Putt followed by Sandy’s Hamburgers is a nostalgic option for the holiday.
New to the Hit List (June 2024) Carpenter Hotel Pool, Mum Foods, RedFarm, Tiki Tatsu-ya.
