Monday, August 17, 2026 · Austin
Shug’s Bagels is fully open in Clarksville. Cuvée’s neighborhood open house Sunday session at The Code was yesterday — complimentary drip and nitro, plus a sparkling and rosé flight 10 a.m.–noon. Baldinucci’s Domain room opens today. Nixta and Lao’d Bar cook Eater Bang Bang on Wednesday; Paco’s last day is Aug. 21; the Hot Sauce Festival moves to Radio/East on the 30th.
Eater Austin’s homepage this week is maps and the Bang Bang item — no August openings package. Infatuation’s Aug. 12 guide is the fullest new-rooms list. A Community Impact photo sitting on the Neko Yubu story was a pho bowl from another piece and was not used.
