The Galaxy Cafe Experience

Galaxy Cafe is Austin’s most well known neighborhood cafe for fresh, high quality food in a modern day diner atmosphere. It’s known for their family-friendly friendly approach that offers fast counter service featuring daily lunch specials, happy hour, and brunch until 4:00 p.m. on weekends.

All Galaxy Cafe locations use high quality ingredients, including hormone free and antibiotic free beef, chicken and eggs, as well as homemade dressings and dessert with each location open from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday through Sunday.

 

Northwest Hills Location

The Galaxy Cafe menu includes a special gluten-free selection with an expansive selection for vegetarians, vegans and a menu just for children.  We recently visited one of Galaxy Cafe’s newest locations, the Northwest Hills cafe.  In addition to the expansive menu,  also offers coffee, mimosas and brunch on the weekends.

 

New to the cafe and exclusive to the Northwest Hills location, the restaurant offers pancakes on it’s menu for the very first time.  In addition, they’ll also offer several adult-friendly offerings like Zocaritas from Zocalo Cafe, an expanded wine and beer selection including multiple local beers on tap including Austin Beerworks, South Austin Brewery, (512) Brewery Company, Independence Brewing Co. and Live Oak Brewing Company.

Famed local designer and Austin resident, Joel Mozersky designed new cafe with Galaxy Cafe’s familiar visual aesthetic that has been a big hit with Austinites and visitors alike.  The design gives emphasis on the cafe’s intergalactic theme with star constellations painted on the walls making it a fun atmosphere, we’ve grown accustomed to at the other locations.

 

Galaxy Cafe has always been well known for their use of high quality ingredients with a conscious focus on local and organic products.  Every location uses biodegradable products and packaging and as well as top quality menu items with a focus on all natural, free-range, hormone & antibiotic free eggs, chicken, & beef.

Caesars Entertainment Unveils Stunning Transformation with the Grand Opening of Caesars New Orleans

New Orleans, LA - On October 22, 2024, I recently had an opportunity to attend the grand opening of Caesars New Orleans, marking the completion of a stunning $435 million transformation of the former Harrah’s New Orleans. It was an evening to remember, filled with excitement, luxury, and the vibrant spirit of New Orleans. The festivities began on Canal Street with an exhilarating ceremony led by Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg, President & COO Anthony Carano, and Caesars New Orleans General Manager Samir Mowad. The atmosphere was electric as they joined Caesar himself and an iconic New Orleans second-line band in a lively procession into the casino. It felt like the entire city had come out to celebrate, with Caesars New Orleans team members and Mayor LaToya Cantrell also joining the event to commemorate this historic occasion. Anthony Carano’s pride in introducing Caesars to New Orleans was palpable. “From local favorite Emeril Lagasse to our long-time partner, Chef Nobu, to the beautiful state-of-the-art Caesars Sportsbook, all-new rooms and gaming floor, and of course, our gorgeous new center bar, Octavia, Caesars New Orleans offers something for everyone. It’s a world-class resort in the heart of the Big Easy, and we can’t wait for our guests to experience it,” he said. The ceremony was a spectacle, kicking off with an iconic Mardi Gras float featuring Caesar and his court, and a dazzling firework show that lit up the New Orleans sky. The second-line band then led us revelers into the resort’s elegant center bar, Octavia, where we indulged in a “Taste of Caesars New Orleans.” Each bite from the six on-property restaurants was a delightful journey, capturing the essence of New Orleans’ rich culinary scene. Throughout the night, elemental entertainers, including the Saints Cheer Krewe, Mardi Gras Indians, Zulu Tramps, and showgirls, created an authentic and unforgettable Big Easy experience. Everywhere I turned, there was something new to marvel at, each performance more mesmerizing than the last. Samir Mowad, SVP and GM of Caesars New Orleans, highlighted the significance of the transformation, stating, “This year marks 25 years since we opened in New Orleans, and the completion of this project is the perfect way to usher in a new era with Caesars. Synonymous with the Caesars name, our new resort is pure elegance, and we’re excited to introduce a luxury brand like this to New Orleans. We are extremely grateful for the support of the community, our team members, and our guests as we come to the finish line of this tremendous transformation.” The hotel itself is impressive,…
