The Well is the latest innovative concept in downtown Austin, incorporating top-tier nutrition, local sustainable farming, and authentic, bold flavors to create a breakthrough culinary experience. The new shop is located in the 2ND Street District at 440 W. 2nd St. for pickup, with delivery options available across the city, from 8 am – 3 pm daily.
Opening this Fall, The Well aims to bring healthy, plant-forward, and flavor-focused breakfast, lunch, and snack offerings to Austin residents. Menu items range from functional smoothies and smoothie bowls, appropriately named for their nutritional benefits to a full-service coffee bar, gourmet toast, seasonal salads, nutrient-dense meals and more. All menu items featured at The Well are non-GMO, soy-free, trans-fat-free, and refined sugar-free. Additionally, nearly every menu item can be made vegan, nut-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free. Grab-and-go bottled beverages, cold-pressed wellness shots and other freshly prepared wholesome snacks will also be available in addition to a retail section including local brands such as Moontower Matcha, Bearded Brothers, Culina yogurt, and more. Plans to extend hours into dinner menu items, sustainable wine, and functional cocktails are expected later this year.
“Although the concept for The Well has long been in the works, our focus on take-out and delivery – while Austin practices social distancing – pushed us for a Fall opening.” said Jack Zimmermann, founder of Nova Hospitality. “We’ve spent time carefully curating the menu at The Well using only the highest quality, local-when-possible ingredients while maintaining bold flavors. It’s exciting to bring something new to Austin and expand Nova’s offering.”
The Well’s elevated level of health-focused cuisine comes from the dynamic duo Chef Jon Oh, Culinary Director for Nova Hospitality, and Liv Langdon, Holistic Health Coach and Nutrition Consultant for The Well.
Langdon joined the team with the goal to illustrate and educate the importance of balanced nutrition, ingredient selection, food sourcing, and flavor pairing. The two combined their passions for food that is both filling and nutritious, without sacrificing flavor and taste, to create the menu at The Well. From the bone broth and grain-free granola to various nut milks and sourdough bread, nearly everything on the menu is made in-house from scratch and is locally sourced when possible.
The Well will be available for pick-up, delivery, and will offer patio seating beginning in October 2020 with expansion plans to follow. For more information visit www.eatwellatx.com.
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,…
