Count me in for a cozy day of good food, and pleasant neighborhood walks, especially during Austin’s temperate winter. Whether you’re staying at an Airbnb in East Austin, or just driving over for the day, little paradises (paradie?) of coziness dot East Chavez St. Cenote provides the perfect patio, smooshed with friendly plants, to sip a cup of organic Zhi tea, or if you’d rather pour something more mature, have yourself some eclectic wine, or local draft beer. After some drinks, take a stroll or a scooter down Chavez to visit The Vegan Nom, and try the tastiest healthy food (nevermind vegan) you’ve ever tossed down the gullet. Complete with picnic tables, fun and beautiful murals, and shade (!!), the ‘nom is a courtyard garden packed with the food trucks of your dreams. Meet Mayor Fin (the neighborhood’s wisest German shepherd) in front of Whyld’s food truck before you have the greatest vegan quesadilla of your life, or try a mushroom-powder superfood shake from the cart across the way, if you’re feeling freaky. As the sun sets, head to Flat Track coffee to fix your bike… or enjoy an espresso pick-me-up while meeting locals with the best tattoos in Texas. For a final hurrah, have a cone of coconut-based Gati ice cream where all (all) the tableware is compostable, and workers are paid a living wage. What tastes better than sustainability and human rights? Well, nothing, but the sweet potato pie and sticky rice horchata double-scoop at Gati’s is a close second.
