Around Town

“The Four Seasons bar is my favorite place within walking distance of the office. It’s where we hold our regular happy hours, including the infamous Martini Mondays.”
Phillip G. Oldham

“We’re fortunate in Austin to be surrounded by nature with Lady Bird Lake and the Hike and Bike Trail, fantastic food options (whether farm-fresh quick or fine dining), and live music venues right out our office doors. It’s a vibrant place to be.”
Ashley T. K. Phillips

“I find Austin to be a cyclist’s dream. Not only can I ride to work on a great system of bike routes and dedicated paths, I can take off for a great hill country ride on the weekends, including the famed ‘dam loop’ to the west of Austin.”
James C. Morriss III

“The migas breakfast taco at Veracruz All-Natural is my favorite dish in town.”
