rain day ACL canceled, Parkside as a replacement
Sunday was the big day we planned to get up close for The National at ACL. BIG rain, lightening and the flooding of zilker park had that canceled. I agreed to go shopping for new pillows with Kat and take the kids to Parkside for dinner.
#1 son held his brother's hand as we navigated downtown Austin.
#1 son ordered steak tartare, he was a bit surprised when it arrived. it's ok, kat and I enjoyed it even though it was slighlty over salted.
wow, he really has grown! he still can't button his shirt right.
nearly everything we ordered was 1/2 price (happy hour). their oysters were cold water varieties, not gulf ($14 for a dozen).
Parkside was recently listed as having some of the best macaroni and cheese in the country. it was good!
while not a traditional po-boy, their fried oyster po-boy was delicious!
tres leches donuts.
#2 son enjoyed the large storefront windows that faced 6th street. the cancelation of ACL insured the area was filled with would be festival goers seeking visiting live acts that picked up last minute shows.
we loved it! we will definitely go back to parkside
