Lick Honest Ice Creams is opening its second Austin location on Burnet Road on Wednesday, July 22 and is inviting the public to celebrate its grand opening with a free scoop from 7 to 10 pm. The shop’s hours will be the same as its South Lamar location:12:30 pm to 10 pm Sunday through Thursday and 12:30 to 11:30 pm Friday and Saturday.
“We’re honestly beyond ecstatic to be opening this shop! It’s been over two years in the making but I don’t think we could have found a better location,” says Sobotik. “This shop will serve all the same flavors as our other shops, which are always made completely from scratch in our kitchen with the freshest local ingredients.”
The space is located at the renovated 6555 Burnet Road shopping center, managed by Austin’s Endeavor Real Estate Group. Bufalina and Barley Swine will join Lick as tenants of the center later this year.
“We’re so excited that we will now be able to serve all of our loyal customers up North that have been making the journey south for almost four years and introduce ourselves to new friends. This shop is surrounded by amazing neighborhoods, full of awesome Austinites and we’re just happy to be joining this community.”
At 1,125 square feet, the new location is larger than Lick’s flagship location’s 780 square foot space. “We’ll be able to more comfortably accommodate our customers at this location which makes us very happy,” says Sobotik. “It has the same feel as our South Lamar and Pearl shops but with a few new touches and finishes that give it it’s own personality. It’s also has a good amount of parking.”
This will be Lick’s third retail location. Lick’s flagship location is on 2032 South Lamar Boulevard in Austin and its second location is on 312 Pearl Parkway #2101 in San Antonio. Currently, Lick’s ice cream truck has been serving at the Burnet Road locationThursday through Sunday. Details on the truck’s future whereabouts will be shared on Lick’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/pages/Lick-Ice-Creams.

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,…
