current tidbit

February 03, 2012

When you were young your dreams of adult life were filled with YSL clutches, rich red Dior lipsticks and Horchow bowls to feed your pup. Cut to real life where your dog drinks out of Tupperware and your clutch came from the sale bin at Forever 21.

Pull up a chair at luxe hotspot Uchi, which opened to foodie’s delight last night. Upgrade your sushi experience—the destination is the sequel to the resto that Austinites have been panting over for years, a Japanese farmhouse style concept created by James Beard winner Tyson Cole. Indulge in authentic delights like blue fin tuna belly, seared foie gras, baby yellowtail with thai powder and ponzu sauce, and scallops you sear yourself with a hot rock. The backdrop? A decadent wood design, pretty floral walls and an open kitchen.

You deserve a chopstick experience that doesn’t result in a splinter in your tongue.

You couldn’t stop watching the all-night Fashion Hunters marathon, or perhaps the party you went to didn’t end until sun up. No matter the reason, if you’re up awake early on the weekend, you’re looking for a great meal that doesn’t come in a drive-through bag. Head over to hipster paradise Shade in the Heights to get an early start on indulgent brunch bites—they start serving at 9 a.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Boasting eggs benedict and French toast for the breakfast lovers and burgers and pork chops for those who love lunch, the Shade menu captures all you want in a weekend brunch – including hair of the dog Shade cocktails. Cheers to the weekend.

About Us

When designing Tidbits, we thought about what characteristics a woman about town possesses. What is she interested in? Where does she go? What does she do? We focus on creative women who are active, artistic, approachable and ambitious. If you are a cost-conscious woman who always wants to be in the know, sporting the latest fashion, going out to the hottest restaurants or listening to great bands, keeping up can be exhausting and expensive.

So we are volunteering ourselves to do the legwork for you. We'll do the window-shopping and point you in the direction of the fabulous deals, trends and hotspots. It's a tough gig, but for you, we're willing to sharpen our stilettos and hit the ground strutting.
