If you’re looking for one of the best small towns in Texas to live in, do look at Kerrville. This small city of around 25,000 people — which I tend to think of as a “town,” since I’m from New York — has only two exits off of I-10. If you’re headed south, the …
Iraan, Texas is pronounced “EYE-ruh-ann.” Living in a state with places named Paris, Rhome (pronounced Rome), and London, I figured this was pronounced like the country with a similar name. I was wrong. But in my quest to find the best small Texas towns to visit and live in, I just had to try it …
I’m kind of big on snap shirts. A.k.a. “pearl snap shirts,” or “western shirts.” I even heard a saleswoman yesterday call them “button-up” shirts, though I think she was referring to shirts that weren’t t-shirts or polo style. But finding the ultimate snap shirt is an ordeal. It’s this category of men’s apparel, specifically casual …
I’m a New Yorker, and we tend to think we know all about food, even salsas, Texas-made salsas. But we quickly learn, especially if we have spouses from Texas, that New Yorkers — in fact, everyone who’s not from Texas — don’t know about salsa, or Tex-Mex food, or chili. With $1.6 billion made …

I grew up in New York City literally over a pizza parlor. So I was pleasantly surprised to learn about Comfort Pizza in Comfort, Texas (Facebook page here), which is in my humble opinion the best pizza in the Hill Country and, so far, the only edible pizza other than Home Slice in Austin. Our …
In early October 2019, Karen and I drove to Grapevine, Texas for a conference. As one of the organizers, I got to do advance work in Grapevine and see some of the local sites in addition to the hotels. One place that the ladies out there — or the woman in your life, if you’re …
Don’t blink or you’ll miss it That’s the way I felt driving through Tarpley, Texas on the way to Utopia. We were headed to the Lost Maples Cafe for an early dinner. (I mean, who doesn’t want to hurry up and get to Utopia already?!) Upon the approach east to west on FM-470, …
When I started visiting Kerrville, Texas, in 1996, one of the first things I did was to buy a snap shirt, or “western shirt,” as they’re also called. I called it a “pearl snap shirt” at the time, because it sounded more authentic. But many snap shirts later, I realized that you don’t need the …
