Nau's Enfield Drug Store 2008

Nau’s Enfield Drugstore at 12th Street and West Lynn in Austin has arguably the best burgers in town and the only chocolate sodas Maggie and I have been able to find. On those occasions when, for the sake of sanity, we have to forego our rigid raw fruit/raw vegetable diet for a day, we come here.

Or whenever Maggie’s sister Emily comes to visit us from Nashville. Emily so loved Nau’s that we’d barely picked her up from the airport last week when she asked us if we could take her to Nau’s while she was visiting – like every day, if possible.

Abi is on a ‘raw-fruit-‘n-vegetables’ diet for two weeks (just for fun). So smoothies are on the menue.
