Eat healthier

Shopping at a local farmers market is a great way to incorporate more fruits + vegetables into your diet — you could even find recipes centered on the ingredients you’ve purchased. If you’ve ever considered meatless Mondays, Veganuary, or a plant-based diet, our guide to vegetarian and vegan restaurants will help you find new places to try.

Spend time with friends

The first step to spending more time with your BFFs is to make plans. We recommend a brunch outing at one of the city’s best restaurants for a midday meal, heading out for a hike, or meeting up for happy hour. And if your best friend has four legs, explore these local dog-friendly spots.

Spend more time with family

Kids love Cowtown, and the city is packed with kid-friendly activities and museums that appeal to all ages. We also recommend staying up to date with our events calendar, where thousands of the biggest + best happenings await, many of which are family-friendly.
