especially when you top it off with a Dr. Pepper Float, right?

we will provide you with a list of items to find as you tour.
Everyone gets a float, but the best “scavenger” gets a prize!

Supper Club – Pecan Street Café
Monday, January 20, $60 pp
Depart SCPL 4:45 p.m.; Return 9 p.m.
The Old Pecan Street Café first
opened its doors on Sixth Street in Austin
in a small structure built at the turn of the
century. Previous tenants had included sa-
loon owners, Chinese laundries, shoemakers and a drug store
until the Café became the latest tenant in 1972. In 1978, they
moved into their present location, a building that had been
constructed by J. W. Simpson in 1905 for his new hardware
store. The limestone rubble walls date back to 1872.
Our sumptuous meal will begin with their tossed green salad,
followed by a half portion of Grilled Salmon with raspberry
chipotle sauce and a half portion of their specialty, Chicken
Poppicotti. The chicken breast is stuffed with cheese, spinach,
pecans and topped with hollandaise sauce. Also included in the
meal are roasted new potatoes, rice pilaf and veggie medley.
Iced tea and coffee are included with an option to purchase
other beverages. Our chef will decide on dessert. We always
love a surprise!
After dinner, weather permitting, we will walk along Sixth
Street for the sights and sounds of this unique area. If the
weather does not cooperate, then I will give you a driving tour
complete with a history of Austin.
Our transportation will be in the small bus without some of
the usual amenities, but very cozy. Only 26 tickets will be sold.
Ticket cost includes transportation and dinner. Deadline to
purchase tickets is January 13.
