Now Open: New Must Try Spots

East Austin is constantly changing and evolving, and it can be tough to keep up. We’ve rounded up some of our new neighbors and old friends in new locations. Make sure to stop by and welcome them to the neighborhood!

Whyld’s Vegan Kitchen
This organic food truck offers healthy bites for all palates. The dining experience is a little different than a typical food truck. For patrons who choose to post up at a nearby picnic table and enjoy a nutritious, flavorful meal served on reusable plates and real utensils. This slightly elevated experience is not only sustainable but also adds something special to on-the-go meals.
