The newly renovated Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts has a lot to offer between its exhibits, art classes, events, and restaurant. We can confidently say everything here is spectacular and we cannot wait for everyone to see it for themselves ;)
For anyone looking to get outside and enjoy some great views of Central Arkansas while in the natural state. This is where we first got to know each other and eventually the mountain Andrew proposed on top of.
Spanning 0.8 miles, the Big Damn Bridge is the longest pedestrian- and cyclist-only bridge in the U.S. and connects to 14 miles of trails in Little Rock and North Little Rock. One of our favorite places to start on the Arkansas River Trail.
Another area to start or walk to along the Arkansas River Trail.
A monumental spot in our relationship where many memories have been made, the Fold is hands down our favorite spot to grab margaritas and tacos (or the bison burrito). We also love the queso, especially with bison, guac, and chips. Guy Fieri himself recommends @littlerocktaco. Great outdoor and indoor seating options.
Another infamous spot that played a part in our relationship; Andrew says it's the location of our first date in the months when we were "secretly" dating (it wasn’t). @raduno_lr is an excellent spot if you’re looking for great meatballs, pizza, and drinks. Also a great spot for anyone looking to grab brunch on Sunday (make a reservation in advance, though).
One of our favorite spots to grab a drink and a quick bite to eat, especially when we want to walk from our house. Mostly outdoor seating @hillstationhilcrest
Another neighborhood favorite, @thepantrycrest is great for happy hour, dinner, and early-ish nightcaps. The drinks here are strong and the bacon rapped dates are a must.
This is the bride’s favorite place in the neighborhood to play some pool and end a night out with friends. The groom also enjoys this spot on a night when most people are out of town. Everything served here is either on draft, from a bottle, or in a can.
Intimate spot for food and drinks - especially if you’re looking to have a night cap on the porch of @ciao_baci
We love ordering breakfast to go from this little neighborhood spot. Anything on a biscuit is a must and we always get a kick out of their “she says she’s not hungry” option. The bride’s go to is the bacon egg and cheese biscuit with an a-la-carte blueberry pancake and sometimes the açaí bowl or the fancy biscuit if she’s already had breakfast. The groom likes to order the sausage egg and cheese biscuit with home fries or the açaí bowl.
With a handful of locations all over Little Rock and an option to get food delivered from here on GrubHub, you can’t go wrong. The bride and groom pick up two croissant breakfast sandwiches and four or so donuts from the Cantrell location almost ever weekend.
Closer to downtown with mostly outdoor seating, great drinks and food options - checkout @therailyardlr on IG for their food truck schedules
If you’re looking to try some of the local beers, we’d recommend Lost Forty (@lost40beer) and their sister restaurant, Camp Taco (@camp.taco)
The Chopped Salmon Salad is a staple on the equity research floor of the Stephens building - you might see a few Midtown Uniforms in the wild if you sit in the bar area around lunch time on the weekdays.
Rock Town Distillery (@rocktowndistill) is proud to call Little Rock home and source ingredients from farmers across Arkansas. It's the home to Rock Town Bourbon, Rock Town Vodka, and other spirits. Click "view" to see if the distillery is having any cocktail classes or to book your tour.
If you’re looking for a hole-in-the-wall spot that serves a steak dinner family style, this is the place to go.
For anyone - particularly our yankee friends - looking for the best barbecue while they’re here, this is our favorite spot in Little Rock.
