No other city in the state quite makes it. Houston is too big and scattered and swampy. There is even a bar on the lake where they applaud the sunset. And lately the Silicones have taken over. So it all turns on Fort Worth.
Fort Worth has it all.
Think about it. Houston's Galleria Neiman's. Not to mention the celebrated Cattleman's. And the best barbecue north of Llano at Cousin's in a strip mall on McCart. And if a person can't be nourished with baked and fried and kosher and kraut and meats and Mexican groceries, there is always radiche and sprouts and seared mahi-mahi at places like Cafe Aspen and Angeluna and Bistro Louise.
