Antiques and art

Where are some good places around Fayetteville to shop for antiques and original art?

Antiques and art

I responded in your message about places to eat but I believe that walking around anywhere downtown (Dickson %26amp; the Square) you will find interesting shops to explore. Also, Gift House Antiques on Mission Blvd in Fayetteville. Most fun for me is to take a daytrip to Eureka Springs! See also www.artamiss.org

Happy Hunting! Sarah

coffee houses with local art: commongroundsar.com %26amp; arsagas.com. Plus check with the Fayetteville Public Library to see if it has any art events going on. It also has an Arsagas in the lobby!

I hope you have time for one more website: www.ozarkartistsgallery.com

Antiques: French Metro on Dickson St.; French Quarters Antique on North Block St.; There%26#39;s also Twisted Tree Antiques on North St. between Gregg St and Leverett (right by the railroad tracks).

questions about a resort and what is going on in april

HI can anyone tell me about emerald isle condos. We will be coming on April 14th and I wanted to know about this resort . has anyone stayed there recently? What can you tell me about the resort. and also what events happen in mid spring. is horse racing still going on? I have read about bath house row. This forum has good suggestions on places to eat. I have written them down. and the state parks.

questions about a resort and what is going on in april

Horse racing ends on April 14th, so you%26#39;ll miss out on that. The good news is, you%26#39;ll also miss out on the traffic that comes with it. :)

Hotel Options & location

Hi we are planning a trip over next week,we have never been to the Hot Springs area-so I feel a lil lost....

Can anyone reccomend a place with an indoor pool for my children I found Holiday inn Express %26amp; Country Inn %26amp; Suites-we are wanting a place with easy access to Crater of Diamonds St Park

Also any info on Crater of Diamonds or helpful hints or tips.

Any not to miss restaurants?

How do you go about getting a ';bath'; and what are the rates-I saw something on bath house row but i got the impression the bathhouses are closed?

Things to do ';on the cheap';

Thanks for your help!

Hotel Options %26amp; location

Hi pastasalad,

Both hotels are on the same street, and are in a central location, but not in the ';touristy'; area. As for the Crater of Diamonds, the hotel wouldn%26#39;t matter. It%26#39;s in Murfreesboro, about an hour and 45 min. away.

Mc Clards BBQ is very famous! If you like BBQ, don%26#39;t miss it. It%26#39;s a small mom %26amp; pop place, but is very well known. You can buy their sauce for a souviener. There are a lot of great places to eat. If you can stay away from the ';chain'; restaurants, (Red Lobster, Olive Garden, etc), you%26#39;ll find a lot of hidden gems. My personal favorite is the Hot Springs Brau Haus. Even if you don%26#39;t like German food, they have pasta and several non-German things. The atmosphere is SO much fun! At night there is usually live music - mostly on the weekends, but some weeknights.

Here%26#39;s some info about a bath. www.hotsprings.org/things_to_do/baths_spas/

Also, come prepared for bad traffic. It%26#39;s Oaklawn race season, and there%26#39;s ongoing construction on Central Ave. Other than that, the rest of the city will be fine. Restaurants tend to be crowded after the races let out.

Have a great time!

Thanks for the reply.

we stayed at the country inn and suites-except for a few minor probs it was a nice place with a good hearty breakfast.

we didnt encounter too much traffic-guess we got lucky on that.

The crater of diamonds was a fun expierence for the whole family glad we did that! No luck on finding any diamonds tho%26#39;

We ate at salsa%26#39;s it was really pretty good,excellent service and at The Cajun Boiler-the guys really liked this place.

We plan to come back in the summer and visit Magic Springs

Sorry, I didn%26#39;t realize you%26#39;d already been. :( I shoud have read more closely. Anyway, I%26#39;m glad you had a nice time! :)

Best Steak and Seafood

Hello,

Visiting in April for first time to the Arkansas Derby. There will be 3of us and I am wanting to take my mother for a nice steak and lobster tail? I was reading about Chef Pauls, Belle Arti and Coys? Please help, got the bbq place down. ha Will it be hard to get into places derby w/e? I bet it is packed isn%26#39;t it?

Any suggestions on live country music? Thanks, D

Best Steak and Seafood

Of the three restaurants you name I%26#39;ve not eaten at Chef Paul%26#39;s but have heard good things from those who have. We%26#39;ve dined at Belle Arti twice, the first time I thought it was excellent, the second not so hot. Coy%26#39;s is an institution in Hot Springs. Their steaks are first class. Here%26#39;s Coy%26#39;s web site.

http://www.coyssteakhouse.com/

As for crowds on Derby Day, yes places will be packed.

Best Steak and Seafood

I agree with CPA on Coy%26#39;s judging from your heading ';best steak and seafood';. Coy%26#39;s is noted for their steaks and they offer a steak and tail specialty. I am a fan of Belle Arti but would only go there if you are looking for atmosphere (in a historic building) and for really good pasta or Italian dishes. I have not been to Coy%26#39;s in a few years but if we were going there after the races, we would make it a point to eat light for lunch, skip the last race and head to Coy%26#39;s for a very early dinner to beat the crowds. I am not sure of their current reservation policy. I have not been to Chef Pauls but have also heard good things. Let us know how you like it if you go. Another great place if you are there for a lunchtime meal is Cafe 1217. It is an awesome gourmet type deli with big beautiful salads, and homemade soups and desserts. Get there early also even on a non-racing day.

We just got home from HS yesterday 3-16-07 and by personal experience I can tell you that Cajun Boilers is the absolute place to eat. The food and service there were GREAT. They serve any kind of Steak and Seafood you want, also alligator. You should go around 4 o%26#39;clock or have your motel make a reservation. I promise you wont regret...........We went 2 times during our stay.

I see that Cajun Boilers has been recommended. I%26#39;ve eaten there a few times and it%26#39;s OK but nothing special. It is a much more casual type place than the three restaurants you initially asked about.

I think the best steak in Hot Springs is at The Porterhouse, next door to Belle Arti and owned by the same people, the Garganos. I haven%26#39;t been to Coy%26#39;s for about a year, and it will be much longer before I return. Now that it%26#39;s no longer owned by the family, I feel it has gone downhill a great deal.

Be certain to have a corned beef sandwich at the track. Oaklawn serves the best corned beef in the country, I think. My New Jersey son-in-law agrees.

For pizza, Sam%26#39;s can%26#39;t be beat. Fresh toppings. The owner, Fran, cuts them herself. It%26#39;s a simple neighborhood bar and cafe, but good pizza.

Enjoy your stay!

Newarkansawyer is right on about the Porterhouse. It is on everyone%26#39;s top list for steaks in HS.

Romantic isolated mountain cabin wanted!

Can anyone recommend a source from which to rent a nice cabin in the woods, preferably with amenities like a hot tub and king size bed? We would like an extended weekend away with nothing but the sounds of nature around us. Northern Arkansas would be 1st preference. Thank you !

Romantic isolated mountain cabin wanted!

We enjoyed LONGBOW resort in Prim Arkansas. It%26#39;s not really a resort, but , rather three isolated cabins, none in sight, or sound, of the others.

There are a couple of Beautiful locations in the Eureka Springs, Arkansas area. Check out the listings on the internet. I have forgotten the names of the two locations we visited, and one we stayed at, however, they are incredibly beautiful places in which to stay.

War Eagle Festival...how far from Rogers?

I%26#39;m thinking of attending a nursing conference October 4-6 in Rogers. Can anyone tell me when War Eagle is this year? And how far from the Embassy Suites in Rogers? How much drive time to Eureka Springs from Embassy Suites in Rogers? Thanks so much!

War Eagle Festival...how far from Rogers?

Unfortunately you will miss the War Eagle Fair if you come Oct 4-6. The dates in 07 are 18-21 Oct. It is maybe 30-35 miles from where you will be staying but you might want to allow an hour and 15 minutes to an hour and a half to get through there in peak traffic hours. (Sunday morning is normally the least crowded time). The Fair people recommend going Hwy 412 East from Springdale for better traffic flow, though that is not the shortest mileage.

War Eagle Festival...how far from Rogers?

Your conference will coincide with the fair. War Eagle will be aprox 15 miles east off Hgw 12. Eureka Springs is aprox 40 miles east on hgw 62. You do not have to leave the hotel however as there will be an indoor fair next door at the new convention center. If this is your first visit to our area, prepare to fall in love with North west Ark. Wife and I did 16 years ago moving fron Dyer Co Tn. Enjoy your visit

Sorry about last post. Wife who keeeps up with these things first said spring fair was3rd weekend in May and fall show was Ist in Oct. The reverse is true as other post indicated. Sorry bout that.

I checked with the Fair manager and confirmed the dates for 18-21 October 07. They also highly recommend the 412 East route during Fair times.

Labor Day Vactation in Arkansas

We are planning a trip for the week of Labor Day to Arkansas. We know we want to go to Hot Springs and then up to the Ozarks. Possible Eureka Springs or Mountain View. We live in the panhandle of Texas so there will be a lot of driving. We are looking for cabins or resorts to stay on the river that we could possibly walk out the door and do some trout fishing. We would like to find a place that is laid back, quiet and romantic but not too far from restaurants. Any suggestions on places to stay and ';must sees'; would be great.

Labor Day Vactation in Arkansas

Here is a place near eureka springs , never have stayed there, so i can%26#39;t say how nice, but it loks to have alot of what you want.

http://www.eureka-net.com/riverview/

You are not very far from Branson Missouri when you are in Eureka springs, and there is a wonderful Lake called Lake taneycomo that has some of the best trout fishing around.

Feel free to ask anything more....I will try and help....

Labor Day Vactation in Arkansas

Here is the web site of one of the better known fishing resorts in Arkansas: http://www.gastons.com/

I%26#39;ve never been there but know a number of people who have and they all give it high marks.

For other resorts, this site gives links to several other places beside Gaston%26#39;s http://www.arkansasresorts.com/

Although I see you%26#39;re been advised to try Branson, Missouri why not stay in ARKANSAS where you%26#39;ll find the ';laid back, quiet and romantic'; places you%26#39;re looking for.

If your schedule does allow a side trip come to Little Rock. We have many historic sights plus the Clinton Library.
