Clem’s Hot Diggitty Dogs might just be hot dog Heaven. It’s simply amazing. It’s in a cool location on Jessie Street, and goodness comes out of their trailer. I had the Rio Grande hot dog with pico, guacamole, cheese and jalapeno. Amazing. Easily the best hot dog I’ve ever had. Also, the guy working there

The Austin Animal Shelter is in dire need of help! The shelter is teetering dangerously close to full capacity, and they need to find more homes for their animals. If you’ve been thinking about adopting, now would be a great time to head over there and maybe find a new addition to your family. If

This city is full of festivals and events to celebrate wine and beer, why not rice wine? A day celebrating saké with the Texas Saké Company sounds like a pretty good Sunday Funday in my book. Texas Saké is an Austin company that uses only locally grown rice in their saké, which is cool, and they’re

It’s back! We just had the annual adult spelling bee, and now it’s time for the O.Henry Pun-Off. This hilariously creative event has become an Austin staple, and it never disappoints. Registration for the contestants is full, but the real fun is watching the event. Aside from amazingly awesome puns, they’ll live music, a used

This is some of the best weather we’ll have all year. It would be a crime not to spend some time enjoying it, and some Shakespeare at Zilker Hillside Theatre sounds like a perfect excuse to head outdoors. This year Austin Shakespeare is doing a Bollywood-inspired production of Twelfth Night, so it should be pretty

Movies in the park are some of the most popular events I post about. I guess something about a free movie under the Austin sky is pretty appealing, especially with this weather. Tonight’s movie is an anime film that broke box office records in Japan. Anime fans love this flick, so it should draw a fairly

Zombies, monsters and ghouls will be cruising all over town tonight, and you could be among them! The Ride of the Dead will feature some pre-ride food at Live Oak, a stop by Jackalope to grab a beer, and finish up at Spiderhouse Café to watch scary flicks. They’ve put together a collection of terrifying movie trailers

By Kristy Owen | Things To Do In Austin, Trailer Eatery

There’s nothing like good seafood to get you past that midday slump, and this trailer is the perfect place to find it. You can’t miss it. They’ll be blaring tunes, likely Jimmy Buffett, and the trailer is actually a rusted old ship container that has been decked out with an island flare. This place is
