Sway Gives Austin A Sign; New East Side Pies Opens

SOUTH FIRST — All that Sway, the upcoming Thai restaurant from Chef Rene Ortiz and restaurateur Jesse Herman, does on Facebook is tease, tease, tease. Here's a shot of their uberbright neon, and at right, a quick language lesson for anyone brushing up their restaurant-jargon Thai. [Eaterwire]

CRESTVIEW — The city's third location of East Side Pies is not on the east side at all, but up north on Anderson Lane in Crestview. To celebrate, they're offering $2.50 slices at the new location all day. [@EastSide_Pies]

DOWNTOWN — If a lack of hamburger pairings is what's been stopping you from enjoying a glass of Beaujolais with your burger, the folks at Parkside aim to remedy that on Wednesday night. Their "Beaujolais and Burgers" event is $15 and includes "hand-crafted gourmet burgers" with wine pairings from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Proceeds benefit the Capital Area Food Bank. [Eaterwire]
