Kor Tor Mor Thai on Smith Street.

The space at 204 Smith Street used to be Hop Hap and though we’ve heard that the new Thai Restaurant Kor Tor Mor is under new ownership we can’t confirm that.  It is getting better reviews than Hop Hap did so something has definitely changed. Plus the look of it is also very different. With […]

Spotlight on Fatty Daddy Tacos.

We’d been meaning to try this place for a while now.  It’s been open since late 2015 and has been getting great reviews since.

A Touch of Brooklyn in West Texas by Arthur Mallett

Recently, some friends and I took a trip to Marfa, TX.  Located in the southwestern part of the state, near the Mexican border, Marfa is hours from any major city, surrounded by miles of desert with jutting plateaus. It is a vast lunar landscape where a strange phenomenon of a phantom glow has been called […]
