Happy Thursday, friends! And just like that — spring has sprung in Lake Travis.
First things first: Let’s eat! Here are several new restaurants to give a try this weekend.
This new place for sushi is getting rave reviews. And so is this place … Plate by Dzintra is now open again after making a move to the old Gumbo’s location.
This sandwich chain opened in Bee Cave with new dishes that are supposed to be inspired by “street food .”
A University of Texas alum is bringing a version of these to the Oasis at Lake Travis.
Now then, let’s get you caught up on all the local happening’s.
On Wednesday, LTL’s Cathy Hale gave us a sneak peek inside Magpie’s beautiful new store and Bon Japanese Cuisine in Gateway to Falconhead.
When you’re ready for a vacation and losing an hour of sleep …
Next week is spring break for Lake Travis ISD and Leander ISD, so enjoy your weeklong vacation from school.
Plus, Daylight Saving Time is Sunday, March 11, so remember you’ll be springing forward. Will Texas ever ditch daylight saving time? All it has to do is pass a state law.
What’s your campaign strategy?
The local political marketing strategy is to place more signs on the corner than the other candidate. Is that going to sway your vote? These three ladies are the 2018 candidates for Lakeway Mayor.
Everything has gone south after the June 2017 groundbreaking ceremony for this Bee Cave development.
What to do if you’re out and about today or tonight …
Thursday evening is hopping with live music: Ben Johnson and Frenchie’s Blue Destroyers are playing at Poodies, Red Dawg is playing Mercer Street Dance Hall, and Carl Hutchens is performing at Grumpy’s.
If you’re in the mood for vino, tonight is March Wine Walk at Hill Country Galleria.
Have a great weekend, and we’ll catch you next week Lake Travis!
