The wife & I have been going to Happy Hour at some of the 'older" restaurants on the west side of the Domain for several years. Thought it's a pretty different place with a novel lifestyle. Being suburbanites (Brushy Creek) it is quite change of scenery for us.
Last week we celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary at Maggiano's (our kids hosted a nice bash in the banquet rooms) and stayed at the Lone Star Court hotel. We had no idea the place existed. from the outside the place looked like some kind of curved warehouse or barn, but the interior courtyard had interesting concepts using Texas decor & native landscaping. A fun experience overall.
We cruised through all the new areas of the Domain's entertainment district and were astounded at all the growth which we had never seen before. really impressive to us and relatives from Dallas & Pennsylvania. There are so many new places to check out. Hope I live long enough to try a few - if we can find a parking place and a map of the district. lol
Several years ago an Internet friend - a single young Canadian employed by eBay - was being transferred from Luxembourg to Austin and asked me where would be a good place for him to live. Since the small city where he was living in Europe was very walkable to everything he needed, that was a lifestyle he would be most comfortable with. So I recommended the Domain.
He loves it there and has reveled in all the bars & restaurants, plus his commute up to the eBay offices on north Parmer is an easy one (going opposite all the rush hour traffic).
