Taylore Cunningham / Dining Writer, offers her ideas on the Best Happy Hours in town.  Save $$ and have a great time in Austin Like most college students, I am no stranger to partying on a budget. Some might opt for the “always smooth” case of Keystone over the much preferred taste of Dos Equis, while others frequent 6th Street on Thursday nights for the infamous $1 beers and $2 “you call its”. However you may choose to cut corners, fun should never be a sacrifice. I realized my calling shortly after I moved to Austin (more specifically after my 21st birthday). My part time job wasn’t funding my social hour quite like I had hoped, and I surely was not about to surrender my good times to the recession. However, as an aspiring food and restaurant critic, quality was not a factor I was willing to compromise. See "Food Menu" on the right for Taylore's happy hour reviews. |

San Antonio based restaurant opens first of two Austin locations.  Eight years ago, Alfonso Tomita, president and CEO of Sushi Zushi, opened his very first location in a small retail strip in NW San Antonio. The market was ripe for something fresh, new and creative and Tomita’s delivery of what the public wanted sparked a buzz throughout the city. At the time, the notion of fusion food was relatively unfamiliar to San Antonians, but as word of Sushi Zushi spread, so did the concept. Soon, locals began flocking to the Colonnade shopping center to taste a little of the East and West literally rolled into one.
