"Located on eastern side of the University of Texas campus, the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library has often been decried for its monolithic scale, and almost windowless and featureless travertine exterior. Nevertheless, its distinctive and modern design has worn well over the years. Completed in 1971, it designed by Gordon Bunshaft of Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill."

"Taverna does its best to embody its namesake—in Italy, a taverna is a neighborhood eatery where customers are more like family or close friends than paying visitors. Austin’s Taverna creates this welcoming atmosphere with rustic touches such as exposed brick interiors and framed pictures that create a mural on its accent wall. The restaurant also has a partially enclosed patio space that extends the charming feel to the outdoors."

"Not only is the food incredible, like the Lobster Omelet and Taverna Hash, but their $2 Mimosas and Bellinis 100% also hit the spot. With a price like that you are sure to have more than just one!"
