Now that a vast majority of the population is vaccinated, we’re able to get out and about again, and this time, we’re rocking steady paychecks. Our annual Summer Edition is here to help you enjoy the best that Fort Worth and environs have to offer and beat the heat while you’re at it. From primo patios to masterful grilling techniques and from places to stay whether you’re in town or not to the best in summer movie blockbusters, we’ve got you covered. The local music scene is also hoppin’, serving up some delectable platters all summer long and taking to stages (inside and out-) as if it’s not 120 degrees every day. Wherever you find yourself this May through August, take our Summer Edition with you. You never know what you may find. — Anthony Mariani

Let’s Staycation

Summer in 2022. Got a little ka-ching but not enough to jet to Turks and Caicos. Or even Burleson. Good thing we live in a super-cool town. For you WFH folks, we know that simply getting out of the house for a night is nirvana. The wealth of boutique hotels that have gone up seemingly overnight means there’s demand for Fort Worth goodness, and with all of the lifestyle and entertainment options on the Near Southside, in downtown, in the Cultural District, and elsewhere, we’re left wondering if maybe all these out-of-towners know something we don’t.

Downtown

Located in certifiably hip Mule Alley in the Stockyards, Hotel Drover is pure Texan but with a contempo twist.

ass. One of the most stylish stays in town, the Sinclair Hotel (512 Main St, 682-2318214) has two chief selling points for the average staycationer: the 17th Floor Rooftop Bar (that view) and The Wicked Butcher, one of the best spots for steak and seafood in all of North Texas. All 164 Sinclair rooms feature Kohler Digital Showers, Savvy Electric Mirrors, LG OLED TVs, and LG wallpaper TVs. Not quite sure what an electric mirror is, but I like it!

A few blocks to the south, the Omni Fort Worth Hotel (1300 Houston St, 817-535-6664) is just as upscale but at 618 rooms a lot more Texas-y. This non-smoking luxury address has a deal going on right now through Sep 29. Splash of Summer includes a $100 food and beverage credit plus a custom beach towel. The Omni’s heated pool also has a bar. *wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more*

Downtown lost a lot of restos and retailers to the pandemic but still kicks

Near Southside

C o u r t e s y H o t e l D r o v e r. c o m

All these new boutique hotels have to mean people are loving what Fort Worth is offering — just like us.

Pedego Ebikes, and more. The brainchild of Tim Love, Otto takes its inspiration from Italy, much like Gemelle, the celebrity chef ’s adjacent restaurant. With an Aperol Spritz in one hand and a slice of Gemelle’s sweet, delightfully chewy, Sicilian-style pizza in the other, the Trinity River will transform into the Amalfi Coast in no time.

There’s nothing like this slice of Italy anywhere in North Texas.

A few miles away, the Cultural District proves it’s not just the place for worldclass art. It’s also a destination for staycationers the world over. (That made way more sense in my head.) One prime address is Hotel Dryce (3621 Byers Av, 817-330-9886). Staying at this independent, locally owned retreat can be like crashing at a really cool celebrity’s pad. The Lobby Bar will be full of chillaxing action throughout the summer, with DJ Sober 9pm-midnight Fri, DJ Asa Ace 8pm-midnight Sat, Texas Sun Day with food by Calisience 11am3pm, and Vinyl Monday with Jonathan Morris 6pm-8pm. Not too far away, at 1145 University Dr, Home2 Suites by Hilton is big on luxury but not on price. Two great selling points: pet friendly and free breakfast. Call 682-707-9475. For a truly novel staycation, Hotel Otto (4400 White Settlement Rd, 833-468-8639) is a micro-resort consisting of eight 160-square-foot bungalows crafted from shipping containers, a full-service “plunge” pool, and a daily complimentary cocktail hour, plus self- or private-guided activities in and around the nearby Trinity Trails, including kayaking, horseback riding,

Easily the hottest part of town, the Near Southside now has its own boutique retreat. Hotel Revel (1165 8th Av, 817928-3688) is definitely a product of its neighborhood. There is no staff on-site. Everything is done via your mobile device. Though there’s no way any guest would be too tired or bereft of imagination to hit all the fabulous restaurants, retailers, and bars that the Near Southside is known for, Hotel Revel offers Sugarman’s, a “modern take on the classic speakeasy, giving revelers a sense of history with a contemporary spin.” For a less techy though no less pleasant stay, Three Danes Inn (712 May St, 817-720-6365) is the best B&B in North Texas for quite a few reasons, not least of which the comfy, cozy rooms, the fantastic on-site bakery that provides the second “B” and more, and the old mansion’s secluded feel. The married ownership team of Darlene and Jim are also two of the nicest, most progressive business owners in town. For my wife and me, a favorite walkable watering hole/nosh spot is Pouring Glory, though we’re not above hopping in our Kia Sportage and hightailing it to Magnolia Ave. Them there cocktails at the Lazy Moose with the slices of bacon in ’em aren’t going to drink themselves.

Stockyards

I know what you’re thinking: The Stockyards ain’t for me. And while it’s true that you’ll see an inordinate amount of American flags on American bodies in and around Exchange Ave most days, there’s also Mule Alley. This brand-new stretch of certifiably hip, decidedly luxurious retreats includes Hotel Drover (200 Mule Alley, 817-7555557). Yes, it’s all cowboy’d out, but the 200 “rustic-luxe” rooms at this Marriott Autograph Collection escape manifest the best of the Western aesthetic. One special happening now is the Mid-Week Retreat: complimentary premium WiFi, guaranteed late checkout (1pm), and complimentary valet for one vehicle per night with in-and-out privileges SunWed. During your stay, take advantage of 97 West. The restaurant that plays on traditional Texas cuisine and is named after Fort Worth’s position on the 97° west meridian is a standout regardless of ZIP code. l

This time last year, I made a spring getaway to Waco with my boyfriend and our best couple friends. We had a lovely time, and it was my pleasure to tell you all about it in Summer Edition 2021. While we couldn’t travel with our favorite companions this spring, the boyfriend — who has recently upgraded to fiancé — and I visited Cleburne last weekend and will be checking out Comanche over the summer. Our first stop in Cleburne was The Depot at Cleburne Station (1906 Brazzle Blvd, Cleburne, 817-945-8705) to see the Cleburne Railroaders face off against the Fargo Moorhead Redhawks. (These teams play in the American Association of Professional Baseball, an

official partner league of Major League Baseball.) It did not end well for the Railroaders, who lost 4-1. Much like Drew Barrymore in Fever Pitch, I did more research/peoplewatching than baseball-watching during the game. The weather made for an enjoyable night, and the fireworks afterward were a nice touch. In terms

of ballpark food, everything at The Depot is priced affordably, the hot dogs and burgers are from #GoTexan suppliers, and the beer even includes a local option, Cowtown Brewing (1301 E Belknap St, FW, 817-489-5800). My favorite concession snack was the plate of fajita fries. Thick-cut potato wedges came covered in a bechamel-style cheese

sauce, green onion bits, and beef fajita meat. At $9.50, it’s the highest ticket item. Everything else is in the $5 or less price range. Afterward, we checked into the world’s worst hotel. I’ve enjoyed my share of Motel 6 accommodations to save money, and the properties are usually clean and friendly. This was not that. I’ll boil it down for you into one anecdote. Until the end of time, we will think fondly of our poor cleaning lady when we see the band name #PooLiveCrew. The location is dog-friendly, and one of the canine travelers on our floor did its business right outside our door. It was hard to spot with all the trash in the hall, but the stench was unmistakable. Instead, we should have stayed at the Liberty Hotel (205 S Caddo St, 817-5563700). One local Cleburnite claims there is a haunted room. We intend to find out on our next Cleburne adventure. As the pool was not open (grrr) for the morning swim we had hoped to take, we went ahead with an early checkout and headed to West End Grill (1629 W Henderson St, 817-558-3663), thinking we’d hit the breakfast buffet. We arrived too late for that, but I’m glad. The lunch buffet was delicious.

“Chunky” jewelry and big, bold bracelets will stand out this summer. S T O R Y A N D P H O T O S B Y E D W A R D B R O W N

This summer, think funky, think fringe, think chunky, think twisted. The Twisted Gypsy, that is. Nearly every inch of the 200-squarefoot store is packed with fashion jewelry and a few dozen shirts and dresses. Owner Kathleen Garza said she leased the building five years ago, which makes her one of the older tenants along Race Street, which now bustles with restaurants, retailers, and entertainment options. Throughout her nearly two decades running The Twisted Gypsy, which began life as a pop-up, Garza has always focused on accessories. “My jewelry is fun, funky fashion jewelry,” she said. “I like a variety. I don’t carry a whole bunch of the same item. I might buy one or two pieces. It’s always different and changing.” Earrings are always big sellers, she continued. Necklaces and bracelets are a bit trickier because of fit, but she carries as wide a range of accessories as she can. “The big thing now is fringe

earrings,” she said, referring to earpieces with bunches of bundled threads jutting outward in colorful, bold displays. “The fringe look was very popular [five years ago]. They are still popular.” Many of the trends that customers come seeking to imitate start with celebrities, trendsetters, or influencers, Garza said. While those designer pieces continued on page 16

can come with exorbitant price tags, The Twisted Gypsy sticks to similar-looking items that fall within the $12-50 range. Hoops and “chunky” pieces are also popular options, she added, referring to large cubes and other geometric shapes that adorn bracelets and earrings. Garza said that chunky bracelets and earrings blend well with formal or casual wear. “That used to be in style when I was in my 20s,” she said. “Now, the chunky stuff is popular with the younger girls. College girls and women in their 30s are wearing the chunky stuff.” Fort Worth being where the West begins, many Twisted Gypsy customers snag anything turquoise or with beadwork that mimics Native American aesthetics. As we chatted, Garza collected a handful of gemstone bracelets. The glittering pieces pair well with embroidered dresses and tops, she told me. Next, we were onto textile accessories. “A lot of older women love the kimonos,” Garza said while holding a light, almost translucent robe. “In the summer, it’s hot, and they want to be sleeveless. They will wear a kimono because they’re lightweight. It’s like

wearing nothing. A lot of people like to wear these as swimsuit coverups. They can wear it as part of an outfit.” As we circled back toward the register, Garza grabbed a long, beaded necklace that she said can be tied into fashionable shapes or wrapped up into a bracelet. “With something like that, a lot of times people wear it with solid black,” Garza said. Bright, vibrant accessories should be worn with more subdued clothing options for the design elements of the earrings, bracelets, and necklaces to stand out. For anyone looking to change up their style, the store owner has this advice. “When you see someone and you like their style, ask yourself what it is you like about their style,” she said. “Keep that in your mind. Start easy. Don’t buy 100 things. You want the items you buy to get used. If you are not used to wearing big, loud earrings, slowly introduce things.” And if you like fun fashion jewelry pieces reasonably priced, give The Twisted Gypsy or any of the two other nearby boutiques a visit. “I’m not here selling your long-term staple jewelry that you will hand down to your grandkids,” she said. “My jewelry is meant to be fun.” Follow The Twisted Gypsy on Instagram @TheTwistedGypsyFTW. l

1.) Originally called Remembrance Day, Memorial Day was created to commemorate those who died serving either army in the Civil War. We now honor and remember all men and women who died serving in the U.S. military in current times. National nonprofit group Carry the Load encourages people to participate in memorial events throughout May to “restore the true meaning” of the holiday. The organization holds relay walks in cities throughout the country. The West Coast Route of this year’s relay will arrive in Fort Worth this weekend. Meet up with the Carry the Load Relay Team at 10:45am Sat at Amon G. Carter Stadium (2850 Stadium Dr), walk 3.6 miles with them to the Fort Worth Rally at 11am at the Fort Worth Police

& Firefighters Memorial (2247 W 7th St), and then see the team off as they continue the journey to Dallas at 2pm. Registration starts at $30 and includes a T-shirt at CarrytheLoad.org, with proceeds benefitting the organization’s efforts. 2.) Fort Worth Convention Center (1201 Houston St, 817-392-6338) will host Collect-a-Con, the “nation’s largest anime, pop culture, and trading card convention,” 10am-6pm Sat-Sun. Along with 500+ vendors, celebrity appearances, and the like, there will be a live performance by Vanilla Ice with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at 2pm each day.

everything you can see and hear during the next three months. Of course, the biggest event figures to be the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, delayed by a year because of the pandemic. The 2017 event drew political protesters in the single digits, but with Russian pianists competing while the country’s military bombs churches and children’s hospitals in Ukraine, there will be more this year. Strap in for it, wear your blue and yellow, and learn to say, “Svobodnaya Ukraina!” Once that’s over, there will still be the annual Piano Texas festival and the Mimir Chamber Music Festival, both at TCU.

exhibition, Women Painting Women, runs into September and takes in portraits from the last 60 years by luminaries such as Alice Neel, Tracey Emin, and Faith Ringgold. The Amon Carter Museum of American Art has three exhibitions opening in June. Black Every Day contains photographs of African-American subjects from the museum’s collection, Justin Ginsberg: Shaking the Shadow will be a sculpture of glass threads installed in the main hall, and Sargent, Whistler, and Venetian Glass will place paintings by the titular 19th-century American masters alongside glassworks from the era. If your taste runs more toward live theater, Casa Mañana puts on Newsies, which has prospered more on stage than the 1992 film has fared on the big screen. Bass Hall hosts touring productions of Oklahoma!, Jesus Christ Superstar, and Dreamgirls, but the hottest ticket surely belongs to the late July run of Mean Girls, the musical adapted from the 2004 teen movie. Stage West mounts George Brant’s Into the Breeches!, a comedy about a theater troupe that has to go all-female during World War II, which is followed by Stephen Adly Guirgis’ more serious

Between Riverside & Crazy, a drama about an ex-cop facing eviction from his New York City apartment. Circle Theatre has only one show this summer, but it promises to be a doozy: Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein the Musical, adapted from the classic 1975 movie by the same team that made The Producers into a Broadway hit. Amphibian Stage Productions’ one new show is David Adjmi’s Marie Antoinette, a contemporary look at the ill-fated French queen. Theatre Arlington puts on three shows this summer, and the most interesting looks to be Peter Shaffer’s farce Black Comedy, in which the stage is lit while the characters are supposed to be in darkness and unable to see one another and vice versa. Jubilee Theatre’s one show this summer is Tori Sampson’s If Pretty Hurts …, about four teenage girls measuring themselves against standards of beauty that weren’t necessarily made to accommodate them. Then there’s always Hip Pocket Theatre, for those of you who would rather not be inside. This summer they give us stage adaptations of Pinocchio, Mark Twain’s The Diaries of Adam and Eve, A.A. Milne’s When We Were Very Young, and Sam Shepard and Joseph Chaikin’s Savage/Love. We may be bracing for another COVID variant in the fall, but until then, there’s plenty of reason to leave the house and join our city’s vibrant cultural scene. l

party. David Cronenberg returns to body horror with Crimes of the Future, which bears the same title as one of his earliest films but stars Kristen Stewart and Viggo Mortensen. Weirdo British director Peter Strickland (In Fabric) does a horror movie at a cooking school called Flux Gourmet. Still, no horror film is as hotly anticipated this summer as Jordan Peele’s Nope. Details are sketchy at this point, but it takes place on a Black-owned horse ranch that supplies animals to Hollywood. You may find the most interesting items among the specialty releases. Jazz Fest: A New Orleans Story is a documentary about the history of that city’s jazz festival, while This Much I Know to Be True chronicles the working relationship between Nick Cave and Warren Ellis. The raves have already poured in for Montana Story, a drama about estranged siblings (Haley Lu Richardson and Owen Teague) who reunite for their abusive father’s funeral. Andrew Semans’ thriller Resurrection has Rebecca Hall confronting her own past trauma, Claire Denis’ thriller Both Sides of the Blade takes on a French love triangle, and the Argentinian film-industry satire Official Competition pairs Antonio Banderas and Penélope Cruz for the first time ever.

The summer movie season already started on fire with the hit status of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness at the beginning of this month. There’s still three months to go, however, and the multiplexes are serving up much more for your delectation as the weather turns hot. This Memorial Day weekend, Top Gun: Maverick finds Tom Cruise’s Pete “Maverick” Mitchell mentoring a new generation of pilots. The star said

Delia Owens’ novel Where the Crawdads Sing receives its own film version, with Daisy Edgar-Jones starring as a social outcast in the Carolina marshes who’s accused of murder. Even the Brad Pitt comic thriller Bullet Train is a literary adaptation, this one based on a Japanese novel, with assassins working at cross purposes on the super-fast train. It won’t be just kids who might be curious about The Bob’s Burgers Movie, the big-screen version of the Fox animated show in which the Belchers try to save their burger joint. Other animated movies include Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank, in which a dog tries to learn the art of becoming a samurai. (I’m getting strong Kung Fu Panda vibes from this, but whatever.) That will do battle with DC League of Super-Pets, which comes out the following week and is about the housepets of superheroes who must step up and save the day. Summer is always peak season for horror films, and Ethan Hawke stars in The Black Phone as a serial killer who preys on children. The advance word has been good about The Watcher, which stars It Follows’ Maika Monroe as a woman who observes a man watching her apartment in a city terrorized by a serial rapist-murderer.

back in 1990 that he didn’t want to do a sequel to his 1986 hit because he was afraid it would glorify war, but I suppose a man’s entitled to change his mind in the course of 30 years. We’ll see if the sequel has something new to say. Other sequels include Thor: Love and Thunder, with Oscar-winning funnyman Taika Waititi back at the helm, the crew from Guardians of the Galaxy dropping in, and what appears to be Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster taking possession of Thor’s powers. Chris Pratt also headlines Jurassic World Dominion, what’s billed as the last of this group of sequels which reunites the main cast members of the 1993 Jurassic Park as well. Disney, which appears to have missed a trick by releasing Turning Red on streaming only this past March, rejoins the theaters with Lightyear, a spinoff of the Toy Story films with Chris Evans as the voice of the astronaut hero that inspired the Buzz Lightyear toys. For the sake of completeness, we should probably include Minions: The Rise of Gru in this paragraph, too. If you prefer prestige fare during the summer to counteract all the popcorn pictures, Baz Luhrmann’s biopic Elvis takes on the life of the King of Rock and Roll as its subject, with Tom Hanks as Col.

Whether you’re a self-described flame master or grilling novice, there’s always room to improve your game. How early you salt your steak or pull your pork chops off the flame could mean the difference between impressing or underwhelming dinner guests.

Sales’ top advice is to buy the best cut of meat you can reasonably afford. “No matter how good or bad you are as a grill master or pitmaster, you can only make crappy meat taste so good,” he said. “Buy prime. Get the good stuff, whether it’s salt, pepper, or oil.” Then it’s time to brine. The best method for sealing in flavor and moisture, Sales said, is using salt, preferably the flaky kind. If you’re in a rush, salting your meat four to six hours before it hits the grill will do the trick, but salting two or even three days beforehand and placing the morsels atop a wire rack in the fridge is ideal. For science-minded folks, Sales recommends this experiment. “Salt one steak the night before it is going to get grilled,” Sales said. “Just salt it, and put it on a wire rack. Salt the other

Meat maestros Trevor Sales, owner of Brix Barbecue, and Dayne’s Craft Barbecue team member Christopher Vuelvas shared tips on properly preparing, grilling, and serving your favorite meats so you won’t look like a chump when you dust off and light up the ol’ barbie this summer.

The Third Degree Vuelvas is a self-described lover of traditional Mexican food and smoked meats. His passion for food comes from Dayne’s and his large family, who loves cooking out every other week, he said. Vuelvas recommends marinating your proteins of choice the day before you grill them. “We have all been in a situation where last-minute plans are thrust upon us,” he said. “An hour of marinating time will make a huge difference in the flavor and the texture of most grilling meats.” As for hardware, the grill master said a good meat thermometer is your best friend.

“Unless you have a decent amount of experience cooking on a grill, it’s difficult to gauge the internal temperature without one,” he continued. “Keep in mind that your meat is gonna keep cooking once it’s off the heat. I like my beef medium-rare, so I aim for around 125 to 130 degrees before I pull it off. Be patient. Take the time to oil the grates and build a nice coal bed. Create areas of your grill with high heat for searing and areas with lower temperatures for veggies and tortillas.” Vuelvas offers this refreshing salad recipe to accompany your hearty grilled meats. Ensalada de Sandía y Cotija 8 cups of cubed watermelon 1 finely julienned red onion 1/2 cup of Cotija cheese 1/2 cup of lightly chopped cilantro Optional: 1 diced jalapeño or serrano pepper Lightly brine the watermelon and onion for two hours in 4 cups of water and add vinegar (1 cup), sugar (1 cup), and salt (1/2 cup). Drain and combine everything in a large bowl. Serve cold. Follow Dayne’s Craft Barbecue on Instagram @DayneTXBBQ. l

when the inner temps reach around 124 degrees Fahrenheit. “The heat is going to continue to carry over three- to five-plus degrees when it comes off the grill,” Sales said. “As it rests, which is another important factor — never slice it right off the grill — give it time to rest and always slice against the grain.” Sales said his first brick-and-mortar location will open at 1012 S. Main St. sometime late this summer or early fall. Follow Brix Barbecue on Instagram @ BrixBarbecue.

steak 20 minutes before it hits the grill. The salt will not be able to permeate the steak that you salt right before it hits the grill. It is not going to work its way into the fibers of the meat. It will pull the moisture out of the meat. All that water is going to pool on top of the steak itself. You are not retaining the moisture, but you are adding water to the surface of the meat. When it hits the grill, you are not going to be able to get that beautiful dark brown caramelized crust on your steak.” Why? Because your steak is likely a soggy mess, and watery beef does not make for great grill marks. Sales’ other experiment offers more delectable rewards. “Look at the steak that was salted for 12-plus hours,” he said. “That steak is almost going to look like it is in its infant stage of being dry-aged. It’ll soak that salt all the way into the meat to the point where you no longer see the salt flakes on the meat. Then it will turn your steak from that bright reddish-pink hue to a very deep, dark red color. The surface of the steak will be drier than the steak that was just salted. That salt had time to break down into the meat itself. Now your meat is retaining all that moisture

inside the meat. The surface is nice and dry, which is what we really want when we want a nice sear on our steak.” The brining principles, he said, work the same for pork and poultry. One major misconception among grillers is the role of the flame. “There is a very large misconception in the grilling world that you need to have this huge, raging hot, blazing fire to get a good sear on your steak,” Sales said. “Really, a giant flame lights the grease and fat that drips off that steak or pork loin. That is going to flame the fire up even more. Now we are starting a grease fire that we are cooking our meat with. We’ve all had steaks and burgers like this. It leads to meat that has this really dark, black crust. That is just a sign of burnt fat from a grease fire. It tastes like a block of charcoal.” To avoid feeding guests overly charred meats, let the charcoal or wood burn until there’s no longer a pronounced flame, Sales said. Pull your filets from the grill when the internal temperature of the beef, pork, or poultry reaches a few or several degrees below the target temperature, Sales continued. For example, if you are shooting for a 130-degree internal temperature, pull the cut of protein off

Even us grown folks feel time flow differently in the summer. Maybe it’s the longer days. Maybe it’s the blue skies. Maybe it’s childhood memories of vacations. Maybe it’s the heat. Yes, it’s definitely the heat. Oh, my God, it is already so hot, and it’s literally hotter every year. How are we going to make it through another summer, with

A paleta is a popsicle, except every popsicle I’ve ever had is uninspired and every paleta I have had is its own small work of art. The treat originated in Mexico and is made from a dizzying array of ingredients. If you can imagine it, the paleta exists. Traditionally, they are fruit-based and mixed with either water or cream.

with generous amounts of chopped nuts. They tasted, well, luxurious and were a bargain at $4. Sitting in my car with those melting paletas, single-mindedly focused on my task, I experienced a few true moments of bliss. I did not care that I was sweaty and sticky and had thrown melted paleta all over my car. I did not care how many people just trying to get an afternoon snack had been subjected to the sight of me wrestling my camera in one hand and two ice creams in the other, trying desperately to take a photo. I only cared about racing the melt. And that makes paletas the perfect treat. They demand you stop whatever else you are doing (talking, photographing, preserving your dignity) and turn your full attention to sweet, cold indulgence. Just think, you could purchase your own little bit of nirvana for one to two dollars a pop. So grab your cash, pull up Google maps, and get to treating yourself proper. l

Pecan and pistachio paletas are a decadent treat.

one. The chewy flakes and crispy shell gave way to soft ice cream. The center did not taste as much like strawberries as it did the concept of the color pink. Delightful. After a few bites, I turned my attention to the other. Mango with chamoy is a classic paleta flavor. That inexplicable chamoy flavor (sweet, salty, sour, hot, all at once) cut giddily through the summer-sweet mango. This paleta served not only as a treat but also as a source of invigoration. I felt refreshed despite the 99-degree heat destroying my poor paletas faster than I could eat them. Thus fortified, I headed to my next stop. Alma’s Paleteria on East Seminary Drive has received critical acclaim from Texas Monthly and — more important to my purposes — was on my way home. The shop is small, sweet, and deeply beloved if the 5 p.m. crowd was any indication. Between my fellow customers and the number of selections, I panicked. When I walked out, I had a pistachio paleta, which I had intended to order, and a pecan paleta, which I had not. Lucky for me, I like pecans. These paletas came from a standard ice-cream cooler and thus were more vulnerable to the sun. They began to melt as soon as I stepped out the door. A race against time ensued as I attempted to photograph my prizes, holding them up to the sky and against the wall, desperate for the right angle. As melted paleta made its way down my wrist, I gave up and set to eating. What these treats lacked in durability they made up for in flavor. They were creamy and rich and studded

of-the-art, climate-controlled galleries with great lighting. The installations are impeccably designed. “All over the world, the book and film have influenced peoples’ ideas about Southern history,” Rogers says. “We hope you will reminisce with us and savor what you see.” Admission is $10 per person. Next, we walked off our lunch by exploring the three stories of nostalgia at the Red Horse Antique Mall (216

E Henderson St, 817-645-1963). I do a lot of window shopping at antique shops, but this place took a (small) chunk of our changes. Purchases made include a framed 33rd-degree Masons certificate from 1904, a custom framed 1968 watercolor by Mary Dice Pettit, numerous home decor items, and a wacky bird necklace, which gave me a big serendipity vibe as we would be hitting Songbird Live later that evening. Having worked up a thirst, we headed down the block to Travato Street (106 E Henderson St, 682-317-1898). A root beer bar was the perfect spot for two

non-drinking travelers such as ourselves. While it’s all bottled brands, the selection rivals that of any craft beer joint, with most varieties priced at only $3.50. I made mine into a root beer float for just a little more. Over the years, the space has been a pharmacy, comic book shop, and more, all while keeping the integrity of the old brick building. The owners, who live in a loft upstairs, came up with the name for the business while on a trip to Italy. Travato is Italian for “found.” With some time to kill before our dinner-and-a-show evening, we found a hidden treasure. The Published

Bookstore (10 E Chambers St, 817-3496366) is massive and worthy of a full day of digging. Owner James Hart is quite knowledgeable, and you will find him there at the counter from open to close. I think I’ve discovered the Bill’s Records of bookstores! Perusing books, we almost missed our dinner reservation at Fly by Night Cattle Company (2704 County Rd 1125, 817-645-7000). The restaurant is wildly popular with out-of-towners and travelers alike, having recently made the Texas Bucket List. They’ve expanded, and the newly added space has windows, where the horses like to get nosey with the customers. Owner Jennifer Craft says they see their reflections and get spooked. Hopefully, they don’t headbutt themselves right through the glass. In the meanwhile, they provide a lovely view. Still full from lunch, we opted for lighter fare from the Texas Favorites menu rather than steaks. The grilled Atlantic salmon ($24) and the drunken tequila chicken with poblano cream ($16) were delicious and affordable. When I’m bringing a bigger appetite — and wallet — I’d love to try the tomahawk rib-eye ($85). “You’ll never forget your first tomahawk.” After a full day of exploring Cleburne, the acoustic stylings of Sara Hickman in the new listening room at Songbird Live (210 E Henderson St, 682248-8424) were just the ticket. “There is not a bad seat in the house at the Songbird,” says owner Mark Joeckel. “It’s the best little listening room in Texas. We feature blues, Celtic, country, folk, gospel, jazz, and swing music.” Joeckel is the brains behind Create Arlington and the West Main Arts Festival. He is in the planning stages of a future Create Cleburne. I hope it’s up and running when we come back. A second trip to Cleburne will just have to wait. We have our sights on Comanche, this time with our couple friends in tow and a slightly bigger vacation budget. Along with checking out the local restaurants and wineries, we intend to explore Proctor Lake while experiencing a bit of design history at Tranquility Hill. If time and budget allow. It’s a midcentury modern house designed by architect Charles Schiffner, son-in-law/ apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright, that goes for $279 per night. With its fantastic rooftop views, the 3000-square-foot Tranquility Hill is available on Airbnb and VRBO. l

As Martha & The Vandellas once said, summer’s here, and the time is right for dancing in the streets. If you’re hosting a party on your street this Memorial Day or over the summer, you’ll need some supplies. Here are my top five picks for your shopping lists, plus three local events that would be less trouble than hosting your own. 1.) My first stop is always Town Talk Foods. With locations in Fort Worth (121 N Beach St, 817-831-6136), Arlington (2320 S Collins St, 817-435-2300), and Weatherford (106 College Park Dr, 817438-8099), this discount grocer won’t have everything you need, but what you do find will save you a great deal of money. Grab some gourmet items, meat, cheese, and even beer and wine at a deep discount, and then complete your menu with foods from your favorite usual grocery store. Town Talk usually is open Mon-Sat but will be closed this Monday. Shop now. 2.) The summer crops are here! While Town Talk does have produce on Wednesday and Saturday mornings, you could also nab the onions, peppers, and tomatoes for that fresh salsa recipe you’ve wanted to try at the farmers’ market. Keep it local by shopping at places like Cowtown Farmers Market (3821 Southwest Blvd, CowtownMarket.com) or Green’s Produce (3001 W Arkansas Ln, Arlington, 817-274-2435). Both have a variety of Texas food vendors with specialty items beyond produce, plus flowers that would make great hostess gifts. Cowtown is open Wednesdays and Saturday mornings only. Green’s is open seven days a week. 3.) Enjoying Jell-O shots at the bar is quick and easy, but making them at home is different. Along with take-away

4.) Those of us in apartment homes with no grills for grilling may want to outsource the meat this weekend. While Google thinks The Sausage Shoppe is out of business, this longstanding Fort Worth business simply moved away from its original Altamesa Village location. It is now located at 3515 Sycamore School Rd (817-921-9960). This restaurant is my go-to for sausage, of course, and soul food in general. Drop in for smaller to-go orders, but call ahead for larger catering needs. The Sausage Shoppe is closed on Mondays, so stop in now thru Sunday. 5.) If you want to be the hand-held hero party guest or host, snag a dozen empanadas from Del Campo Empanadas (10724 N Beach St, 817562-5888). Like a box of chocolates, these puppies come with a diagram to tell which flavor is which by shape. Along with a traditional Argentine-style beef empanada, other flavors available include classic beef, chicken, ham and cheese, and shrimp, plus caprice and spinach, which are vegetarian, for $3.90 a piece. You can also order a mixed dozen for $42 at DelCampoEmpanadas.com. (Del Campo is open seven days a week, including Memorial Day Monday.) 6.) Those not up for hosting a party themselves can make plans to have a little adult fun at Camp Wild Acre at Wild Acre Brewing (1734 E El Paso St, Ste 190, 817-882-9453) 11am-6pm Sat. Along with three unique beer varieties, including Banana Pudding Hefeweizen, Punch Bowl Fruit Punch Sour, and S’mores Stout, exclusive Camp Wild Acre camping mugs are available for purchase. Enjoy camp activities, live music, and food trucks, too. There is no cost to attend. continued on page 38

7.) There is also a special event at Martin House Brewery (220 S Sylvania Av, Ste 209, 817-222-0177) on Saturday. Head to the Galapagos Beer Launch & Iguana Meet & Greet noon-5pm. Yes, you read that correctly. Two iguanas will be on-site to meet you along with their human handlers from the International Iguana Foundation (IguanaFoundation.org, 817-237-9034). This Fort Worth-based environmental conservation group inspired the new beer variety. “The artwork depicted here represents the endangered Red Iguana in Galapagos,” Martin House says. “One of their favorite treats is the hibiscus flower, so we brewed up a fresh batch of Galapagos 7% Hibiscus Saison and will be donating 25% of can sales to the IIF.” Galapagos is a taproom exclusive available on draft and in cans to-go. Local food truck Kelly’s Onion Burgers will be on hand. This event is free to attend, but for $15, you can purchase a wristband and receive one souvenir pint glass and four beer pours.

The rooftop view from the TCU-centric Lot 12 goes from the stadium to downtown and beyond.

N E A T H E R Y

Like a young lovah, summertime came a bit early this year, blasting us with temperatures that flirted with triple digits. That means shade is a necessity to relinquishing any discomfort from unsolicited heat explosions. Shaded patios have become crucial to our survival when choosing restaurants and bars to visit during the sultry summer months and are almost essential to a restaurant’s success during fall and spring. When we get them. Luckily, last weekend welcomed a cold front that told summer to chill the eff out and sit the eff down, offering a glimpse at the spring we never received but do so richly deserve. On that note, we gathered a list of patios to help celebrate this occasion.

Patio Season Regardless

Gotta love the downtown stalwart Reata (310 Houston St, 817-3361009), whose original position atop a skyscraper was uprooted by an F3 tornado in March 2000. The business settled comfortably on Houston Street just north of Sundance Square, making the old Caravan of Dreams their home

for almost two decades before recently announcing their departure due to their current lease coming to an end with no new agreement in place. Before they hightail it out of downtown, go enjoy their multilevel rooftop patio — complete with a waterfall — that offers wonderful views of the skyline. Hitch up at their bar and stay awhile but watch out for their $25 Millionaire Margarita or, if you’re feeling saucy, the $50 Billionaire Margarita. There are more reasonably priced drinks, but also up for grabs are a key lime pie martini and an Old Fashioned along with an impressive liquor and wine list to boot. Located on the rooftop of The Hyatt Place Hotel, Lot 12 (2512 W Berry St, 817-353-2344) has become a welcome neighborhood addition to an area that watched its bar scene dry up due to West 7th’s popularity. This newcomer fortunately remains consistently busy on the weekends with locals and hotel guests alike. Paying homage to TCU’s sports history with hints of purple woven into the fabric of the buildout, this bar not only offers a sizeable

patio below strings of party bulbs — complete with plenty of cozy outdoor furniture, big-screen TVs, and billiard tables — the view encompasses the stadium to downtown and beyond. We recommend hitting that magical hour in the evening right before the sun sets and city lights begin to sparkle and shine. Located near the railyard on Rogers Road, the warehouse-ish Rogers Roundhouse (1616 Rogers Rd, 817-3679348) and its massive garage doors was built for the Texas climate. If it’s too hot outside, the open-air concept offers indoor seating, or you can pop a squat on the porch, accommodated by either the AC or big-ass ceiling fans. With a graveled patio stacked with picnic tables and umbrellas for sun protection, this spot is fitting for parents to come drink their sorrows away for having kids while their monstrous spawn run amuck. Another hook is the amount of TVs for sports, or come on an evening when live music sashays throughout the venue, all best enjoyed with an iced schooner of suds.

While not everything is cocktails or beer, two Southside wine bars provide patios with vastly different experiences. The all-natural wine bar The Holly (305 W Daggett Av, Ste 101, 817-420-6446) opened last fall in South Main Village, an area loaded with new apartment complexes. The black exterior contrasts with a modern and breezy interior that doubles as a wine shop with a curved bar to enjoy your juice of choice. If the quaint patio is not full, grab a seat outside because natural wine probably tastes better in nature, if we were guessing. WineHaus (1628 Park Place Av, 817-887-9101) was tucked away off 8th Avenue for years, humming along as a quiet neighborhood retreat before new owner Robyn Davis saved it from closure during the pandemic. Since then, she has completely revamped the back courtyard, providing a New Orleans vibe with new murals, a bubbling water fountain, and live jazz most nights and every weekend. l

Wry, reverb-surfing garage rock band Prof. Fuzz ’63 has a new full-length out on June 10 called Peaches and Herbicide. They’ll be releasing it at a show at Arlington’s Growl Records that night, along with power-pop alt-rockers the Jet Noise (formerly Josh & The Jet Noise), who are dropping a new EP (sans Josh) of their own at the show as well. The group will disband after the gig, so see them one last time! Outlaw country crooner Wayne Willington keeps padding his already lengthy catalog with Temptation Road, another collection of his smoky baritone over bopping two-steppers and sad country ballads, and singer-songwriter Court Hoang has a new full-length called Get Right hitting streaming services June 17. Rap fans won’t be left out with several heavy hitters dropping new tracks in the coming months. One of the Fort’s best rappers and hip-hop ambassadors, Lou CharLe$, comes correct with his latest single, “Hit Different.” Nerdcore rapper J/O/E has an album perfectly fitting for summer entitled Pints in Padre, while Neo Sohl has a new joint called “The Mission” on the way.

Last week, just in time for the unseasonably torrid temps hanging in the mid-90s, every Texan’s favorite unelected regulatory body, ERCOT, called for residents to set a hard thermostat floor of a balmy 78 degrees. Excuse us while we don these oxygen masks to recover from hysterically laughing all that precious O2 from our lungs. This is Texas, babee, and we do what we want! Whether it be constitutionally outlawing state income tax, refusing to wear masks during a worldwide pandemic, or cranking our ACs down to 60 during an energy shortage that could be avoided if ERCOT and Gov. Greg Abbott weren’t self-serving assholes, we will not be contained!

Another thing that simply won’t be contained (brace yourselves for this neckbreaking, out-of-nowhere transition) is … local music. Prolific musos from every genre seemingly never stop showering us with great tuneage like a misting tent on a 100-degree day at Six Flags. This summer proves to be no different. No matter your stylistic predispositions, local musicians have you covered like SPF 50. Here is just some of the local music we’re looking forward to this summer.

The bristling Phorids are set to release their long-awaited debut album.

Smoked Meat Tamales Fresh Salsa Verde • Vegetarian Options Catering & Special Orders

album’s worth of intelligent, thoughtful, self-reflective rhymes, on June 14. Could this summer bring the final installment of the horror-core collab between Tornup and masterful producer BLKrKRT? The sci-fi fantasy concept album about a sleazy record producer enslaving rap artists as holographic replicas needs a finale! Bring us Hologram Zoo, Vol. 3. Committing to a full-length recording project is as big an undertaking as ever. Just ask Phorids, who are working on finishing their first full-length for a late-summer release. When you follow a band over time, full-length albums are essential to being a fan, because they give the listener a window into where in life the artist was at the time — what he or she or they were going through. Singles can do this, too, and recording and releasing one song periodically is a lot cheaper and easier. Edgy pop-rockers The Troumatics are set to release a single called “Blood on My Knees” on June 17. They plan a full-length album to follow at the end of the summer. Sugary indie-pop trio Phantomelo plan a new single with accompanying video for their new song, the very summer appropriate “Shark Attack,” in June. On the heels of the success of his last single “The Pass,” artsy pop rocker Denver Williams

has a pair of songs, “Key Lime Pie” and “Radio Is On,” scheduled in the coming months. Dream poppers Big Heaven are planning to debut a new EP titled Void in late July/early August. A single, a collaboration with the psyche-rock outfit Itchy Richie & The Burning Sensations, will tease the EP. Hook-centric rockers Henry the Archer are also forecasting an EP later this season. Mixing/mastering of the five expected songs is finishing as we speak. This summer, expect to hear longawaited new singles from psychedelic punks Mean Motor Scooter, wintry songwriter Eric Osbourne, Austin-based studio wizard Taylor Tatsch’s progpop project Shadows of Jets, and from Clint Niosi, whose ear for the cinematic makes of each of his releases a fun task to imagine what movie the song might provide a fitting score. On the horizon are also new releases from the experimental, ambient project Slow Draw and one of the Fort’s most underappreciated songwriters in Kevin England’s jangly punk rock outfit Cool Jacket. There’s plenty of hot tuneage coming to warm over eager ears and keep us in the right headspace as we tackle the next three or four (or five) months of sweltering days and slightly less sweltering nights. l

Though a handful of artists have been willing to tiptoe out to perform here and there over the last couple of years, the slate of musical acts set to take the stage in the 817 over the summer is showing that we are full-go for live music again. Anyone and everyone with a guitar or a microphone is looking for a PA to make noise through, and eager concertgoers are ready to fill the rooms to hear it. Along with copious amounts of ultraviolet radiation, music fans residing in the Fort will have the next few months to bask in the sounds

If multi-day festivals aren’t your speed, another one — thankfully on a much smaller (read: more comfortable) scale than them — is June 18 at Tulips FTW. That’s when Fort Worth rapper Lou Charle$ serves up Louapalooza, his annual hip-hop showcase aimed at “cultivating a vibrant environment for all to come and experience great homegrown music.” Hip-hoppers can also get their fill on touring acts Flobots and Fish Narc at Tulips this summer as well. Wild Acre Live also boasts a hefty schedule of rappers during the hot months with appearances by Gucci Mane, Bad Bunny, and Three 6 Mafia. The venue will also host the godfather of funk, George Clinton with Parliament Funkadelic, on July 22. One special show will take place July 1 at MASS. Folk-rock singersongwriter Cameron Smith will be backed by a full band for the first (“only”?) time as a solo artist for the celebration of his latest album, Shine, a dedication to late artist Jeremy Joel. Fellow songsmith Eric Osbourne will also have a set backed by the same musicians while Jake Paleschic will open the night with a solo acoustic set. For an appetizer of similarly melancholy sonics, you can catch Clint Niosi at MASS on June 19.

If you are in the mood for imbibing sun-warmed beer and walking way too much in lieu of driving south into the heart of Magellan-safari-shirtand-topsider country to attend Willie Nelson’s 4th of July Picnic in Austin, may we suggest Texas Music Revolution in McKinney on June 3-4. Would we want to be part of a huge, sweating crowd singing “Wagon Wheel” along with headliners Old Crow Medicine Show? Not really. (Maybe. Probably.) But a chance to see Ottoman Turks, The Squeezebox Bandits, Summer Dean, and Hayes Carll at an outdoor concert might be worth the trouble. Arlington continues its free summer outdoor concert series at Levitt Pavilion, and a few local acts like Rachel Stacy and Michael Lee have dates under the stars. Down the street, the one and only Garth Brooks will no doubt sell out AT&T Stadium, so act quick. That is, if you have a six-figure income. For those for whom classic dance hall environs are their preferred way to take in a country act, Billy Bob’s Texas will welcome Americana icon Robert Earl Keen, alt-country bros Midland, and the legendary Vince Gill in August. June 4 at The Post at River East is the Unicorn Club Showcase. This will see the debut of Spring Palace, the brainchild of Chase Johnson, who will bring his “guitar-based, messy, sincere, outsider art-like indie tunes” to the stage for the first time. In tow will be Denton legend Fishboy. In July at MASS, former Pleasant Grove frontman Marcus Striplin offers his new band Margaret Chavez with the beloved Cush. Hard rockers can catch Royal Sons with No-Where Jets and Siamese Hips at Tulips on June 11, and on August

13, MASS will host the post-rock magic of BULLS, Abbreviations (the new rock project of Ashley Leer from Record Hop and Def Rain), and the post-punk of Caved Mountains. Indiepop darlings Phantomelo will rock the underappreciated Caves Lounge in Arlington on August 25. Black Tie Dynasty, a popular area band from the early-/mid-2000s, is playing a reunion show at Tulips on July 16. If you hung out at the Wreck Room and/or the Torch back then, get your tickets to this show now. If you never saw BTD the first time around, they perfectly encapsulate that time, when bands like The Strokes, The Killers, and Franz Ferdinand ruled the airwaves and every cool new band sort of looked and sounded like them a little and you kind of hoped the one in your town — in our case, BTD and Burning Hotels — would get to be a Kings of Leon, too. Can you fit into those skinny jeans 20 years after “Last Night”? Maybe not, but Black Tie Dynasty will fondly remind you of a time when you could. Speaking of The Killers, they join the ranks of artists continuing to make Dickies Arena a legitimate top-tier national act tour stop, but they won’t take the stage there until September 10 for a rescheduled show. For our money, the Dickies events that you shouldn’t miss this summer are Steely Dan on June 2 and the very much nonmusical but imminently entertaining WWE: Smackdown on July 8. Tickets for both are still sort of cheap, and it’s kind of funny and triumphant that it costs more to see Flickerstick in North Texas (House of Blues June 2425) than Donald Fagen and/or Lacey Evans. Other notables to roll through the dome are Rob Zombie touring with Mudvayne and Duran Duran, both in August. l

The original (and superior) “The Donald,” Donald Fagen with Steely Dan yacht-rock Dickies Arena this June.
