SUZANNA CHOFFEL

WHO: Austin singer who released her latest album, Hello Goodbye, this spring. ON THE TRAIL: “The Barton Creek Greenbelt (3755 S. Capital of Texas Hwy.; austinparks.org), where I come with my daughter, Lulu, is pretty much my favorite place to hike and get outdoors. I’ve been coming here since I was a teenager.” OUT OF SIGHT: “Cosmic Coffee and Beer Garden (121 Pickle Rd.; cosmiccoffeebeer.com) is a true secret because it’s not even open yet! My fiance is opening Cosmic this summer in South Austin—it has a beautiful pond, lots of great landscaping, an herb and veggie garden, picnic tables, a chicken coop, and two great food trailers. I can’t wait for it to be part of the Austin coffee and food culture as well as just an awesome gathering place.” SOUND ADVICE: “I play a lot at Geraldine’s (605 Davis St., 512-476-4755; geraldinesaustin.com) at the Hotel Van Zandt, and it’s one of the best listening rooms in town. It’s the perfect combination of cool, laid back, and kind of fancy, and it’s just a sweet spot to hang for cocktails or dinner while enjoying some great tunes.”
