EAT

People-watch on Bird Café’s massive patio while tucking into Southern favorites, or pay homage to true cowboy cooking, think tenderloin tamales and chicken fried steak, at Reata. Melt, a locally owned ice cream shop and cart, scoops creative flavors such as Salt Lick and Velvet Vegan.

DRINK

There are more than a dozen Flying Saucers across the south, but Fort Worth is home to the original. Drink 200 beers and you’ll be inducted into its Ring of Honor, or head to Funkytown Donuts and Drafts for a smaller rotating menu of local drafts paired with handmade sweet and savory doughnuts.

SHOP

Head to the Sid Richardson Museum to admire dynamic paintings of the 19th-century American West, then leave with unique prints, jewelry, books, and works by local artisans. Channel your own cowboy aspirations at Overland Sheepskin Co., which has been a top name in leather, fur, and sheepskin since 1973.
