Numero28 - Downtown ATX

I LOVE SXSW week in Austin, Texas!  The city is so alive with new sights, sounds, and smells. I spent a lot of time this week in my kennel-in-the-sky with my face pressed  to the window as I watched all the excitement happening below. So today my parents finally took me for a long walk around the city so I could experience the excitement for myself.  There were so many people who wanted to stop and pet me. I was even asked to be in a group party pic!  I heard many bands playing as we walked by each venue. I am no longer afraid of these loud sounds because my parents have brought me to many outdoor concerts in the past. I strutted my stuff with my tail held high so my parents knew I was just fine with all the noise and the crowd. 

Soon Mom got hungry so we stopped at a pizza place called Numero28. We were seated on the patio and I was given my own  bowl of water.  Since there wasn't anyone sitting next to us, I decided to sit next to Mom. Our waitress, Mandy, thought I was so cute and she snapped a pic of the three of us. 

My parents split a huge Caesar salad and a  Formaggi pizza - that's a fancy word for cheese.  Mom is very picky and only likes cheese pizza so Dad always gives her what she wants when they share food.   Mom said if I was good she would give me her pizza crusts later as I am never allowed to receive food directly from the table. Needless to say, I was on my best behavior!  

Numero28 is a wonderful dog-friendly restaurant with great thin crust pizza and great people. The manager came out to say hello to me and he gave me a nice head massage.  I loved sitting on the patio and watching the SXSW people walk by.  They also have pasta dishes and other entrees on the menu that my parents want to try next time.  Great family dinner spot to put in our rotation.
