City Cast Austin
🍕 Free pizza for voting
October 23, 2024 · Kelsey Bradshaw
🌮 Oooh good morning! Texas Monthly released its list of the 50 best tacos in the state and a handful are from the Austin area! I know Texans, especially Austinites for some reason, live for taco drama, so let me know if you agree with the rankings.
Thank you to Tecovas, our exclusive launch sponsor and Western wear favs, for their support!
What's CITY Talking About?

🏁 COTA Fined $550K After F1
Y’all, what is going on? First, UT was fined after spectators threw trash onto the field during the Georgia game. Now, the Circuit of the Americas is being fined a whopping $550,000, after a group of Formula 1 fans hopped on the track while cars were finishing a cooldown lap on Sunday. [KXAN]
🍕 Where To Get Free Food After Voting
You know what’s even better than voting? Getting a free slice of pizza for it! I’m studying this roundup of places offering free bites, drinks, and other discounts for people who show off their “I voted” stickers. [Eater Austin]
