Walking your dog, letting the kids run around or just taking in a breezy afternoon doesn’t get any easier than this.

Pull into the City of Bee Cave Central Park and you’ll see that while there is plenty to do at this jewel of outdoor space, there’s also lots of room for plenty of down time.

Located just off the intersection of Ranch Road 620 and Bee Cave Parkway (map) in the city of Bee Cave, Central Park is home to nearly two miles of paved trail that winds its way across the length of the park.

Lake Travis Area Food Trailers – Dock & Roll Diner

Written by Todd Hower | June 15, 2013

Have you been to the food trailers in Bee Cave lately? After a morning of working in the home office, I opened up the refrigerator to grab some lunch and came up short. So I decided to make a run to Whole Foods at the Hill Country Galleria to stock up on some food for the week.

A while back, I came across some info on the Way Out West Austin blog about a new food trailer moving into the space where Hey Cupcake used to be. So I decided to check it out and stop for lunch on my way to Whole Foods.

The food trailer I’m talking about is the Dock & Roll Diner. This was my first visit to Dock & Roll, so it was recommended that I try their signature dish, The “Maine” Event—a freshly baked, toasted roll piled high with Maine style lobster and dressed very lightly with Dock & Roll mayo and lemon butter. A few chives sprinkled on top add some nice color.

Lakeway Farmers Market: Now The Lone Star Farmers Market

Written by Todd Hower | June 12, 2013

Have you been searching for the Lakeway Farmers Market?

You may have pulled into an empty parking lot on Sunday morning. The Lakeway Farmers Market, formerly located in the Lakeway Commons (where Rocco’s restaurant sits) has moved and the name has changed.

It’s now called The Lone Star Farmers Market and the location is at the Lowe’s parking lot in Bee Cave, which is in the Shops at the Galleria. Not to be confused with the Hill Country Galleria, which is on the other side of Hwy 71.
