Texas Christkindl Market Comes to Arlington

I

In its twelfth year, the Texas Christkindl Market, presented by Reliable Commercial Construction, is a free, family­-friendly market that features a unique shopping experience for holiday gifts, decorations, and one-­of-­a-­kind finds. Inspired by the cherished German tradition, guests can shop for traditional handcrafted gifts and collectibles from exclusive Käthe Wohlfahrt merchandise and designs from the iconic Rothenburg ob der Tauber Christmas Village. Indulging in German treats and eats while enjoying festive music and entertainment throughout the market are always a crowd-pleaser. And, no visit is complete without stopping by St. Nikolaus for that iconic annual photo! Enjoy the beautiful sounds of traditional holiday music performed by local German groups, making this a must-attend destination in Arlington’s entertainment district.

Tree Lighting and Opening Ceremonies Kicking off the 2022 Market, the community is invited to join the Christkindl Angel at the Opening Ceremonies on Nov. 25 at 7 p.m. The angelic namesake of the event, the Christkind opens the market, sharing German holiday traditions with a special opening dedication. Special guests are invited to join the Angel as she lights up the 17-foottall Christkindl Tree, presented by Viridian DFW by Johnson Development.

St. Nikolaus There’s nothing more legendary than a visit with St. Nikolaus at the Texas Christkindl

Market, adorned in his beautiful robe and legendary beard. Every child, adult, and even pets are invited to meet St. Nikolaus to share their special requests, and photography packages may be purchased starting at $19.95.

Hours for St. Nick may vary.

Before heading to see St. Nikolaus, or for those who don’t have time to visit, children are invited to write a letter (or download a special template) at the Kinder Club online at: www.txchristkindlmarket.com/kinderclub. Letters should be dropped at the special red Mailbox by the Warming Haus at the Texas Christkindl Market by Dec. 10 to receive a letter in return from St. Nick!

West is Among the Best for Culture and Shopping-and-Dining Delights

H

by Michael H. Price

“Happy to follow the bumpy brick road,” reads a newspaper headline from 1981 — a lasting assertion that Camp Bowie Boulevard’s historic brick pavement must endure, and never mind the occasional trafficengineering idea of modernizing the pathway with concrete and asphalt.

Now as then, seekers of entertainment, adventure, and dining experiences remain “happy to follow the bumpy brick road,” as a principal gateway to Fort Worth’s west side and its many commercial and civic offshoots.

The attractions range from a burgeoning West 7th Street district to a broadening cultural and historical district – connecting southward with University Park Village, westward with the Chapel Hill shoppingand-entertainment development, and branching out further with new moviegoing venues, boutique eateries, and varied opportunities for strolling and sightseeing amid architectural innovations on a comfortably human scale.

Pioneering publisher and civic booster Amon Carter characterized Fort Worth as “where the West begins.” And for locals and visitors alike, the west side marks the beginning of that beginning: The West hardly could have picked a keener starting point than Fort Worth.

Prominent among the newer landmarks is Dickies Arena, a versatile 14,000-seat showplace named after the Fort Worthbased manufacturer of workplace clothing.

Located at 1911 Montgomery Street within the Will Rogers Memorial Center, Dickies Arena complements and expands the scope of the adjacent Will Rogers Complex, providing a new home for the Fort Worth Stock Show Rodeo.

And Fort Worth, in turn, hardly could have picked a site more right for its burgeoning west side Cultural District.

Rippling with heavy-duty commercial, artis6

tic, and residential growth since the dawn of the 21st century, the west side overall has seen its very skyline change with the transformation of a busy West 7th Street into a streamlined conduit connecting the downtown area’s Sundance Square development with the Cultural District. Heading west (naturally) from downtown Fort Worth, one finds the Cultural District radiating from the intersection where Seventh Street crosses University Drive and, in the process, morphs into the historic, brick-paved Camp Bowie Boulevard.

Visitors in search of western-style discoveries — from plain-and-fancy dining, to fine art and varied entertainment — will find such delights in volume on the west side. Cultural attractions, restaurants, mainstream and special-interest shopping, and lavish natural gardens flourish as a reminder of how Fort Worth has built upon its frontier origins. Several of the world’s finer museums, playhouses, and galleries anchor a vast Cultural District. The hand-laid redbrick pavement of Camp Bowie Boulevard is an attraction in itself, lined with an everexpanding array of art galleries, stage-andscreen auditoriums, boutiques, scholarly museums, restaurants and lounges, and shopping malls.

One long-standing favorite, Domain XCIV, 3100 W. 7th Street, originated in 1994 along Camp Bowie Boulevard.

Persistent growth has led to a 6,500-squarefoot showcase, combining fine furniture and vintage European treasures and accessories.

Collections include Theodore Alexander, Wesley Hall, and Guild Master. Domain XCIV has long supplied anchorage for the village-within-a-city developments of the West 7th Street area.

A newly settled popular attraction, the Grand Berry Theatre at 2712 Weisenberger Drive, emerges as a showplace for indepen-

dent and art-house motion pictures, complementing the mainstream Hollywood movies at Movie Tavern West 7th and enhancing the art-film fare that the Modern Art Museum has brought since the early 2000s via its Magnolia at the Modern screening series. The Grand Berry is an early example of the expanding entertainment potential of the historic Foundry District, located north of Montgomery Plaza.

Farther along to the west of the west, the newly dedicated Como Community Center’s $12 million complex at 4660 Horne Street has installed a gymnasium, a library, after-school activity centers, and allages activity programs.

Luncheon attractions, sparked by the addition of Alabama-based Chicken Salad Chick in Ridglea Village, have grown to include such established draws as Blue Bonnet Bakery, Feastivities, Secret Garden Restaurant, and The Lunch Box. Wild Acre Brewing Co. has opened a Camp Bowie location to complement its downtown home base. A longtime popular favorite, Ol’ South Pancake House at 1509 S. University Drive, anchors the lower reaches of the west-by-south side and lends a sense of history to the immediate area’s dining opportunities.

University Park Village, too, is rich in variety — a high-end shopping district offering such popular brands as Ann Taylor, Williams Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Anthropologie, and lululemon, among casual and fine-dining experiences alike, and the high-tech wonderland of the Apple Store.

The Fort Worth Museum of Science and History commands the westward view of the district from Montgomery Street, and just northward are additional cultural touchstones: Designed by renowned architect Philip Johnson, the Amon Carter Museum of American Art houses a definitive collection of American paintings, photography, and sculpture. The collection spans early 19th-century art to mid-20th century modernism. It is also home to nearly 400 works

by Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell. Nearby is the Kimbell Art Museum still living up to Newsweek’s description as “arguably the most beautiful museum in 8

America” including its new Renzo Piano Pavilion addition. The neighboring Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth is the oldest such museum in Texas — housed in a workof-art 2002 building designed by worldrenowned Japanese architect, Tadao Ando, and featuring bold gallery exhibitions, concert attractions and, every weekend, leadingedge independent-studio films.

The Museum of Science and History, anchoring a campus within the Cultural District, has been designed by similarly renowned architects Ricardo and Victor Legorreta. Inside the Museum of Science and History, one finds vast galleries of Texas-bred dinosaur specimens and the state’s oil-and-gas heritage, in addition to the Cattle Raisers Museum, the Fort Worth Children’s Museum, Stars Café, and the digital Noble Planetarium. The Omni Theater, an IMAX® superscreen dome, links with the Museum of Science and History and will reopen December 2023 after renovations. Nextdoor is the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame, honoring women of the American West who lived and worked on ranches, who led an expedition, sat before an easel, aimed a rifle and hit the bull’s eye, or sat on the Supreme Court.

When the museum meanderings trigger an appetite for fine dining, two longestablished, museum-based cafés stand ready to serve. The Kimbell Buffet Restaurant offers indoor or patio lunch and a light evening menu within one of the most beautiful modern buildings in America. The Modern Art Museum’s 250seat Café Modern, with an outdoor terrace, overlooks a serene reflecting pond.

The Modern’s full-service kitchen delivers superb cuisine for lunch, Sunday brunch, and scheduled seasonal dinners.

Neighboring the museum community is the city’s landmark Will Rogers Memorial Center, a versatile 85-acre entertainment complex — with 45 acres housing the Will Rogers Coliseum & Auditorium. Its majestic Pioneer Tower dates from the Texas Centennial Celebration of 1936. Still a dominant feature within the district, the coliseum holds pride of place as the first

domed structure of its kind in the world.

The complex also boasts an equestrian center and exhibit halls, home to the annual Fort Worth Stock Show.

Southward off University Drive, visitors can experience the glories of nature at Trinity Park, a pristine oasis bordered by a fork of the placid Trinity River. Here, picnickers, joggers, and strollers can explore wandering pathways or travel on a miniature railroad. Opposite the park, across University Drive, Fort Worth’s Botanic Garden beckons. Founded in 1934, it’s a lush 109-acre tapestry of dappled shade accented by vibrant splashes of color. The Garden is home to thousands of species of native and exotic plants in 21 specialty gardens and is and the oldest major botanic garden in the state of Texas. The European-designed Rose Garden features more than 3,400 roses, and the 10,000-square-foot Conservatory houses tropical flowers and foliage from around the world. Adjacent to the Botanic Garden is the Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT) whose mission is to “reduce its foot-

print on the natural world as well as protect and restore ecosystem services.” BRIT’s building was designed as an example of how much of this can be accomplished.

A short distance southward lies the illustrious Fort Worth Zoo, nationally ranked among the finest. The Zoo is home to thousands of animals, both native and exotic.

Viewing facilities and natural habitat exhibits are set up for optimal views of the animals, often separated from their observers by only a river, a waterfall, or a large window.

Shaded rest spots and picnic tables are available, with several on-site eateries.

Across from the Zoo, Log Cabin Village offers another view of the city’s rich frontier history boasting seven authentic log homes, dating from the mid-to-late 1800s. Perioddressed interpreters greet visitors inside each cabin offering a living history of the home and its origin.

The mood to explore might be triggered by art, dining, shopping, or the wonders of nature. Fort Worth’s west side meets all these interests and then some!

DON ARTEMIO - Upscale Mexican dining at its finest. Don Artemio takes heritage recipes from northestern Mexico and makes them with local Fort Worth ingredients and mouth-watering, modern panache.

This is the kind of joint you go for a special occasion, and it’s worth every dime. From their nopalitos fritos (tenderfried cactus) to their El Famoso “Chile Hojaldrado” (cream cheese and pecan-stuffed poblano chile wrapped in puff pastry) to their in-house dry-aged beef, you simply can’t go wrong. From the clay bricks in the wall to the wood tables at which you sit, everything you see in the restaurant is imported from Saltillo, Mexico, too. It’s a love letter to Mexican heritage cuisine and a truly holistic experience... one that shouldn’t be missed. Mon.-Thurs. 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m. & 5-9 p.m. Fri.-Sat. 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m. & 5-10 p.m.

ESPARZA’S - If you land at the DFW International Airport hard up for Tex-Mex, first of all, I understand you. Second of all, you’re in luck. Touted as “independently owned, internationally known,” Esparza’s is perched in the same town as the airport: Grapevine.

Since 1985, the Restaurante Mexicano has served up delicious fare that includes Tex-Mex classics like enchiladas and tacos, but also innovations like fried avocado stuffed with brisket and an assortment of quesadillas, nachos, fajitas, salads, and desserts.

They have a patio strung with lights and call themselves “the margarita capital of Texas.” Enough said.

HONKY TONK KITCHEN - Executive Chef Alex Walters brings a passion for authentic Texas cuisine and hospitality to Billy Bob’s. After attending Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts, he spent a decade leading culinary efforts across DFW before joining the team at Billy Bob’s Texas. He’s poured his heart into bringing great food to patrons from all over the world. The food selections at Billy Bob’s are far greater than the restaurant’s name “Honky Tonk Kitchen” may imply. In addition to the Honky Tonk Kitchen, Chef Alex oversees all culinary related business including the banquet operations where Billy Bob’s may

JOE T. GARCIA’S - When Mr. and Mrs. Joe T. Garcia first opened in their home to diners in 1935 there were 16 seats. Eventually, the famed Tex-Mex outpost has poured out onto their famous, twinkle-lit patio and now seats up to 1000 diners. It continues to be family-run to this day, and the original recipes are still in use.

Eighty-seven years later, the fare and ambiance keeps people coming back in droves. While the lunch menu features things like chimichangas, tamales, soups, and salads, the dinner menu is succinct: sizzling fajitas or enchiladas. The portions are generous which is good, because the tequila to margarita ratio is, too.

Great for casual nights and special occasions alike.

Mon.-Thurs. 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m. & 5 p.m.-10 p.m. Fri. & Sat. 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Sun. 11 a.m.-10 p.m. 2201 N. Commerce St., 817-626-4356, www.joetgarcias.com.

LOS VAQUEROS - The incredible Cisnero Tex-Mex family recipes of Los Vaqueros have fed this guerita since I was knee high to a grasshopper, long before I was old enough to have one of their incredible margaritas. Whenever I think about Los Vaqueros I smell the sizzling fajitas sailing past, see the never-too-busy-foryou staff smiling in greeting, and taste the perfect queso/ chip ratio. Located in an old Stockyards warehouse, the restaurant manages to be both cozy and cavernous, and is 100% authentically western. Los Vaqueros accommodates events (like my dad’s 50th birthday party!) as easily as they do a nice lunch for two. Tues.Thurs. 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Fri.-Sat. 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Sun. 10:30 a.m.-9 p.m. Closed Mon. 2629 N. Main St. 817624-1511, www.losvaqueros.com.

PRESS CAFE - Casual breakfast, lunch, dinner, happy hour, curbside cocktails/family dinner packs, and weekend brunch? Count me in. For all of it.

Press Cafe’s extensive menu includes notables like crab mac n’ cheese, banana walnut waffles, ahi heirloom salad, and short ribs. All of their burgers are made/ground in-house (including the veggie patties), and are just $10 during happy hour (Mon.-Thurs. 3 p.m.-6 p.m). Press is right on the Trinity, so when your day calls for some good, old fashioned contemplation and martinis while staring at a body of water, this is your place.

PROVENDER HALL - Ugh, don’t you love it when a bunch of hot millennial chefs open and operate an atmospheric, American West restaurant and feed you Skillet Cornbread with Whipped Honey Butter and Slow Smoked Beef Rib for Two, that you secretly try to eat for one? The large outpost’s open kitchen specializes in meats either smoked or cooked over their woodburning grill, all accompanied by an array of southern

classics like their Pimento Cheese, Hoppin’ John, and Cheddar Cheese Grits. They have a robust liquor list including a quality Moscow Mule and a little ditty called Golden Cheeked Warbler I have my eye on… Tues.

5-9 p.m. Wed.-Thurs. & Sun. 11:30 a.m.-9 p.m. Fri.-Sat. 11:30 a.m.-10 p.m. Closed Mon. 122 E. Exchange Ave. #110, 817-782-9170, www.provenderhall.com.

REATA RESTAURANT - Choosing from the best that southwestern food has to offer, Reata (Spanish for rope and name of the ranch in the 1956 epic Giant) offers a menu that ranges from steaks to Creole dishes to southern standbys like their West Texas Pecan Pie. An example for the first course is Reata signature jalepeño and cilantro soup.

Let’s just say this: people love Shake Shack so much they get tattoos of the logo and cater their weddings with it. As if serving their Texas special Cold Shot Concrete made of vanilla custard, chocolate custard, malt, salted caramel, dark brown sugar, and chocolate toffee isn’t enough, Fort Worth’s Shack is also partnered with Alliance for Children, a nonprofit that protects Tarrant County children from child abuse.

Evidence of that is the twice daily cattle drives at 11:30 a.m. & 4 p.m. Come and explore 14 restaurants, 13 bars, 35 shops and over 17 must-see attractions all surrounded by the rich history of the Fort Worth Stockyards.

Amanda and Matt, the creators of KIMES RANCH, have taken their fashion background to create a more thoughtful jean.

Yeehaw! 10 a.m.-8 p.m. daily. Suite 120, www.kimesranch.com.

KING RANCH SADDLE SHOP was established in 1853, and boy is it tenacious. During the Reconstruction Era the ranch had to get back on its feet, and part of that was hiring in-house craftsmen to create their very own saddles. After mastering that craft, King Ranch output expanded into more leather gear, all branded with King Ranch’s iconic “W.” Due to legend-fueled demand, they began selling products outside of the ranch and King Ranch Saddle Shop was born. Suite 530, www.krsaddleshop.com.

In regards to a classic outfitter in the Alley, look no further than LUCCHESE BOOTMAKER, home of your bespoke forever boot. It all started when Lucchese brothers Salvatore and Joseph emigrated from Italy to Texas, bringing their father’s cobbler legacy with them.

Dolly Parton famously pleaded, “Why’d you come in here lookin’ like that, with your cowboy boots and your painted on jeans, all decked out like a cowgirl’s dream?”

I have a strong feeling her inspiration was the one and

only WRANGLER. While ubiquitous in the world of denim, a Wrangler store as fabulous as the one in Mule Alley isn’t as common. There are only three like it in the country! Fort Worth is truly being treated to the best. Now go get some famous jeans and break some hearts, ya hear? Mon.-Sat. 10 a.m.-8 p.m., Sun. 10 a.m.-7 p.m.

There's something else for hipsters- Texas Western Legends satisfies all your Victorian steampunk attire needs. If you enjoy looking like an 1800s Texan school marm ready to jump on a horse (who doesn’t?) head to Jersey Lilly Old Time Photo Parlor at the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame to capture proof you were born in the wrong era.

There’s a colossal REI, which is especially key right now since people have a newfound interest in getting out into wide open spaces, magical places where fresh air is kept. Also, if you’ve been staying in and have become a bit of a self-made chef, you might consider upgrading your tools at Sur la Table. It’s pronounced sir-la-TAW-bluh, and I’m telling you so you can impress your friend Pierre. There is more info on Pierre in the West 7th listing below. My favorite place in Waterside, though, is Pinspiration.

They have an ever-changing menu of crafts and DIY projects based on what’s trending on the internet that month. They also have a bar so, you know, you can buy rainbow pom poms and a beer. It’s a real one-stopshop. Bryant Irvin and Arborlawn Dr. Hours and phone numbers vary by store, so be sure to check the website: www.watersidefw.com/directory.

WEST 7TH - From the historic Montgomery Plaza all the way to the latest place crowned cool by TCU students, there’s a lot happening on West 7th Street.

This is the neighborhood where the fabled Domain XCIV is located, after all. You can buy small-batch, artisanal treats at Dude, Sweet Chocolate. This ain’t your stuffy friend Pierre’s chocolaterie in the 7th arrondissement à Paris, non. It’s better. Head to Esther Penn boutique for got-to-have-it clothes chosen by Texas women touched by sunny LA style. Stop by Wrare to discover avant garde homewares, and then swing by The Flower Market on 7th for a true-blue European cash-and-carry floral situation. You can make up a bouquet as you go with florists on hand to guide you along. Tout suite! www.fortworth.com/thingsto-do/shopping/west-seventh.
