Let’s send Austin to each other.

The Austin Newsletter is a free weekly guide to the best of Austin, the eating, the doing, and the one civic thing worth knowing. We partner with people who love this city as much as we do. No money changes hands. We feature you to our readers; you help us reach more of yours.

If you run a newsletter or write about Austin

A recommendation swap or a cross-post. We point our readers to you, you point yours to us, and we both grow without spending a dollar. It works best between people whose audiences overlap but whose work does not compete, a food writer, a founders list, a parenting community, a neighborhood voice.

If you run a local spot or event

We feature you in a guide or the weekend roundup, the way we already do for the places we love. In return, you put our signup in front of your people: a small card by the register, a link in your email, a mention to your regulars. We only feature places we would genuinely send a friend to, and a featured partnership is disclosed.

Or embed our weekend picks

Run a site? Drop our live “things to do in Austin this weekend” widget on it. It lists this weekend’s picks, refreshes on its own every week, and links your visitors to the full list. One line of HTML:
