THE YARD: SPRING WALKABOUT Say, wasn't this event shouted out via our recent cover story about the delights of The Yard on St. Elmo? Well, citizen – here it comes again, with a Saturday afternoon of elevated leisure at that southside bastion of much good food and drink and fun. This time the theme is "honey," and that'll be the ingredient featured among the tasty quaffs and noms of Spokesman Coffee, Still Austin, St. Elmo Brewing, Texas Saké Company, Austin Winery, and more. What else do they have in store? Recommendation: Head on over and see. Sat., May 21, noon-5pm. (2022) The Yard, 902 E. Cesar Chavez, 737/300-1965. Free. theyardaustin.com

RED BEANS AND RICELY YOURS, AUSTIN This community initiative, headed by Chris Cubas and Maris Clegg, is dedicated to providing free meals (of red beans and rice, andouille sausage, cornbread, fruit, dessert, and a drink) to Austinites in need. "On Tuesdays, we will provide a link to sign up for a free home-made meal delivered to you with safety in mind," goes their announcement on Facebook. "There is no judgment and the form is anonymous. If you have been affected by the impact of Covid-19 or are having a hard time, we would like to make a small portion of your day a little bit better." Or, if you'd like to donate your time in driving, baking treats, or providing cases of nonalcoholic beverages, please reach out to redbeansaustin@gmail.com. redbeansaustin.com
