One more question: for my last dinner in town can you guys suggest the best place for “sides”. My buddy wants BBQ and I don’t eat meat, I do eat fish though, and I love sides like Mac n cheese, beans and such. Last night we went to Billy Bobs for dinner (had a blast and catfish was good) but was wondering what a local favorite might be that has all the sides.

PS: I had asked earlier how to spend my day in Fort Worth sightseeing and I got so many good suggestions and everything worked out really well. Breakfast at Esperanza’s hit the spot, then we walked over to the stockyards, wandered around and I got to admire the long horns on their amble through town (I love the way they move!) We walked up and down the strip and then took a car to the Kimbell, the Carter and the cowgirl museum (least favorite, they’re doing construction so mostly closed off and the collection is pretty sparse) but overall a perfect day of sightseeing and culture. Thank you for the tips!

I am here visiting from New York for an event (fellow old people insert “NEW YORK CITY!” from that salsa commercial in the 90’s)

Last night I went to Billy Bob’s and I had the best time ever just taking it all in. I couldn’t even process how big that place is and caught some of the bull riding, it was amazing. Though I have lived in New York City for many many years when I was a kid I grew up in the Midwest and worked at a stable and am kind of a secret cowgirl. I even owned a reining horse out on Long Island and got back to riding and showing for a bit a few years ago.

My question is what to fit in today. The Cowgirl Museum isn’t too far from where I’m staying but I was thinking of heading back to the stockyards to look at some of the Western stores and I think there’s some museums over there too. I wanted to catch the cattle drive (though I know it’s more just a stroll) because I think Long Horns are amazing and I’ve only seen a few long horns in person in Montauk. (Fun fact the oldest working cattle ranch in the USA is actually in Montauk, NY)

Anyway I had such a fun time taking in your cowboy culture I’d like to see more of it today. People have been so nice and welcoming while I’m here. In a perfect world I’d catch a ride on a nice cow horse or run some barrels haha but some good touristing will do.

Went to urgent care over on Driggs and N4th. I think I dropped it when I was locking up my bike. I was a little out of sorts. Realized I didn’t have it when I came out. Reward if you found it $20?

Edit: $30?

It’s not fancy or anything. I just really liked it and it fit under my bike helmet nice :(
