When someone says something like, “I know I’m stepping on the third rail here, but…” they’re admitting to touching a topic that one shouldn’t touch and expect to survive. I’m from New York City, now living in the Texas Hill Country, and I’m going to risk a few hairs getting frazzled by my talking about …
If you visit our fair city and wonder, “What is there to do in Kerrville,” there are in fact a host of attractions, both in downtown Kerrville and nearby. Some of these we’ve reviewed or discussed already, and others we haven’t yet got to. There are even some things that are in the works — …
So you’ve made your way from Houston or even Dallas to the Hill Country and our fair town and you’re wondering, “Hmm…what to do in Kerrville?” Chances are you’ve already arranged where to stay after your long trip from elsewhere in Texas, because, let’s face it, coming here from the west or east or north …

So…full disclosure: Crider’s is not actually in Kerrville. It’s in Hunt. It lies to the west, past some wonderful river crossings and the famous Hunt Store, where the burgers are as juicy as anywhere else but at “anywhere else” they don’t taste as good. And if you’re looking for things to do in Kerrville on …
You might not associate semi-rural Texas with bagels and cream cheese. Growing up in New York City, practically living off these daily or at least several times weekly, being distantly Jewish (great-grandmother was Jewish from Poland), and for a long time living about three blocks from bagel heaven (Zabar’s), I developed a certain…let’s say opinion …
If you’ve read my About Us page, you know that I hail from a city of 8.7 million people but have gratefully landed in a small town of 27,000: Kerrville. I had been visiting Kerrville since 1996, when I first proposed to my now-wife, Karen. For decades, I’d spend a week or two — or, …
