Ultra Studios, Fayetteville, AR

Fayetteville's ultra-hip clothing store

by Rhonda Crone | September 06, 2010

Before taking a girl's weekend trip to LA a couple weeks ago, I needed something besides my summer "uniform" - a cotton strapless dress - to wear. Sure, LA is a shopping wonderland but I couldn't even get off the plane in the Target dress I've worn a hundred times. I had passed by Ultra Studios and never stopped, probably because I had two rambunctious kids in the car, but when my friend …

Houndstooth Clothing Company, Fayetteville, AR

Fave Razorback Tees

by Rhonda Crone | September 06, 2010

Since Razorback football just kicked off the season, I thought it would be fitting to feature a local product that is seen around here more than anything else in the Fall—Hog t-shirts! Namely, red ones. You can get a hog tee just about anywhere, but a local shop created their own licensed Hog apparel back in 1999, and it quickly gained popularity with University of Arkansas students. This popularity led Houndstooth to its …

University of Arkansas Razorback Football, Fayetteville, AR

Call Those Hogs!

by Rhonda Crone | August 31, 2010

It's kind of strange for me to be writing about sports, particularly football, because honestly, it's just not my forte. And living here in "Hog Country," that almost makes me some kind of traitor! But I do love the party vibe and the spirit that fall football season brings to town. Even though we don't go to games, we can hear the loudspeakers and crowd from our back yard, and sometimes we walk up to …

The Wine Cellar, Fayetteville, AR

by Rhonda Crone | August 24, 2010

Personally, I waited a long, long time for a place like The Wine Cellar to open in Fayetteville, and when it finally did, it was perfect. The location, just off Dickson Street in the Metro District Building, the design, which is rustic, dimly lit and cozy, and of course, the wine. Changing them out regularly, there are 24 bottles "ontap," so to speak in the wine machine.

You can do a taste …

Whole Earth Organic Lounge, Fayetteville, AR

Fayetteville's Conscious Place to Party!

by Rhonda Crone | August 23, 2010

Coming from Asheville, NC, William Naiger has a vision – and that’s to start a trend – something that might be called an “eco-lounge,” across the country.  Although it’s not the term that Naiger uses, Whole Earth Organic Lounge is what I would call exactly that. Its floors are recycled, as are many of the interior fixtures and surfaces, and every other aspect of the renovated space on the corner of Center and …

Hog Haus Brewing Company, Fayetteville, AR

Fayetteville's Original Brewery

by Rhonda Crone | August 16, 2010

Back in the 90s, the Ozark Brewery opened and was a staple for University of Arkansas students as well as the older Fayetteville crowd for over a decade. Located on the corner of Dickson Street and West Avenue, just a block or two away from the University of Arkansas campus, "The Brewpub," as we called it, was in a convenient location, right in the middle of the entertainment strip. When the owners of The Common …

Margaritas, Mexican Food and Outdoor Music

by Rhonda Crone | August 14, 2010

Jose's is one of Fayetteville's best known and best loved traditions, one where I remember celebrating my 21st birthday, and many other celebrations since. Original owner Joe Fennel made the changes necessary over the past 25 years to continue Jose's success as one of Fayetteville's most popular places to be. Located on Dickson Street, its famous patio, Jose's Streetside, is in the heart of the entertainment district, with free live music on Tuesdays …

Theo’s American Kitchen, Fayetteville, AR

Upscale Restaurant, Fun and Casual Patio

by Rhonda Crone | August 09, 2010

You wouldn't think that Theo's, one of Fayetteville's finest dining establishments, would be a pick for best patio. Sure, I love the beer gardens with live music and all that fun stuff, but with my nights out few and far between these days as a mother of two, I require quality as much as fun! Namely, quality wine, and in most "patio" environments, I can't get that. Theo's sounds expensive, and generally is, …

Greenhouse Grille, Fayetteville, AR

Casual Eclectic Dining

by Rhonda Crone | August 08, 2010

When The Greenhouse Grille opened a few years ago, it was something that Fayetteville had been waiting for a long time to happen. With sustainability as one of the community's primary initiatives, a locally-owned restaurant with the same values was a natural fit. And not only are the ingredients used at the Greenhouse Grill natural, organic, or locally-grown, the food is some of the best our little culinary city has to offer. The …

Country Inn & Suites, Fayetteville, AR

New Hotel in Great Convenient Location

by Rhonda Crone | August 02, 2010

One of his week's topics is "budget hotels," but I guess the term "budget" is relative. Since I'm not going to write about Motel 6, I chose a new hotel that's fairly reasonable as someone who has shelled out $100 for a La Quinta somewhere on the interstate in a place like Tucumcari, New Mexico. That is no deal. The Country Inn & Suites is new, which is a plus, and it's located …

Arsaga’s Coffee Roasters, Fayetteville, AR

Fayetteville's favorite coffee

by Rhonda Crone | August 01, 2010

Arsaga's is a beloved Fayetteville hangout for hip and arty 20-somethings, and the favorite place for locals to get their caffeine fix, for more than ten years now. In that time, Arsaga's grew from one little location on Block Street to four: one on Township and Gregg (the "hangout" locations), one on the east side of town (Crossover), one in the Fayetteville Public Library, and one in the Washington Regional Medical Center. Not …

Tim’s Pizza, Fayetteville, AR

A Fayetteville Tradition

by Rhonda Crone | July 29, 2010

As a kid, I remember going to Tim's Pizza back when my sister was attending the University of Arkansas. It was her very favorite place to eat. Then, after I moved here to Northwest Arkansas with my parents, it became a tradition - the only pizza place we went to as a family. And the pizza, it truly hasn't changed in all those years, and there's something to be said for consistency. Sure, Fayetteville now …

Shiloh Museum, Springdale, AR

A Museum of Ozark History

by Rhonda Crone | July 19, 2010

The Shiloh Museum of Ozark History, about 15 minutes north in Springdale, is one field trip that just about every school kid in the past 50 years in Northwest Arkansas has taken. I still remember mine, and my kindergartner just took hers this spring. It’s not the most exciting museum in the world, but it does give a glimpse inside how life used to be.

There are exhibits on civil war times, …

Veranda Wine Bar, Fayetteville, AR

Drinks and Tapas with a Bird's-Eye View of Dickson Street

by Rhonda Crone | July 12, 2010

Dickson Street is Fayetteville's main "drag" for entertainment, you might say, as it's lined with an ever-growing number of bars and restaurants, catering to University of Arkansas students, working professionals and local residents who just like to get out and have fun. During warmer months, on the upstairs deck of the Dickson Street Inn, manager Cherry Zietz runs the quaint Veranda wine and tapas bar with a great view of everything going on …

Arkansas Music Pavilion, Fayetteville, AR

One of the Country's Top 100 Ampitheaters

by Rhonda Crone | July 12, 2010

Fayetteville has been known as a musical city for a while now, but only in the last few years has it had the Amp, or Arkansas Music Pavilion, a venue dedicated solely to hosting national music acts - such as LeeAnn Rimes, Queensryche and Ben Folds Five. Also owners of local bar and music venue George's Majestic Lounge, Suzie Stephens and Brian Crowne have expanded this summer season through October, which includes upcoming acts Gary …

Bordino’s Restaurant Fayetteville

Italian, Wine & Martini Bar

by Rhonda Crone | July 11, 2010

Joe Fennel opened Bordino's in the late 90s behind his famous Joses mexican restaurant on Dickson Street. Back then, an upscale Italian restaurant was something new for Fayetteville, and Fennel was taking something of a gamble. But, for over a decade now, Bordino's has been at the top of Fayetteville's growing list of high-end restaurants. It's bar is a favorite spot for locals to have after-work or late-night drinks and casually dine, and …

Exotic Animals

by Rhonda Crone | May 24, 2010

In Northwest Arkansas, it used to be assumed that the Tulsa Zoo was the nearest place to find a zoo with exotic animals to entertain kids for a day.
