Your Weekend Bucket List

Mike and Caroline's Fort Worth Fun List

Cultural District

Ampersand - The Kimbell - The Modern - Blue Sushi - The Circle Bar - The Chumley House Start your day in the Museum District, where world-class art meets Texas charm. If you're staying at or near the Crescent Hotel, the Museum District is your backyard! Grab a latte at Ampersand, then stroll through the Kimbell Art Museum and The Modern, where you’ll find everything from Picasso to thought-provoking contemporary pieces. Before heading out, fuel up at Blue Sushi, a local favorite for fresh rolls and a great vibe. If you’re craving something other than sushi, hit up the newly opened Chumley House across from The Crescent—this European-inspired steakhouse brings the charm of London to Fort Worth with a meticulously crafted menu that blends timeless traditions with global flavors. And when you’re ready to take a break or end your night the right way, the Circle Bar at The Crescent is the perfect spot to enjoy a delicious snack and a fabulous cocktail.

University Park Village and WestBend

Lululemon - Anthropologie - Tyler's - Flowerchild - Eatzi's - HG SPLY - Ascension Make your way to University Park Village and WestBend, where you’ll find favorite stores like Lululemon, Anthropologie, and Tyler’s, along with delicious bites at Flowerchild and Eatzi’s. After browsing and grabbing a snack, it’s time to hit the Trinity Trails!
