Mixed-use developments are all the rage in Austin’s urban core these days, and one new Eastside property offers an eclectic culinary lineup that’s sure to attract potential residents as well as ambient neighborhood foot traffic. Four of the ground-level spaces at the new Corazon building are leased to locally owned food concerns, and a fifth space will be home to a Japanese izakaya and sushi bar from chef Kazu Fukumoto this summer. Parking spots are available in the building garage and the stores will validate. We recently checked things out from one end of the Corazon block to the other, eating to our hearts’ content.
