No longer a mere “Cowtown,” this Texas city has strong cultural and culinary scenes.
Long nicknamed Cowtown, Fort Worth, Texas, has a whole lot more to offer than rodeos, roping and riding. The nation’s 12th-largest city is as much a cultural center as it is a reflection of its cattle-ranching past. It’s home to the Fort Worth Stockyards, as well as world-class cultural institutions like the Amon Carter Museum of American Art and the Bass Performance Hall. And when it’s time to eat and drink, you’ll have your choice of far more Tex-Mex, barbecue, biscuits and craft beers than you can handle. But hey, if you overindulge, at least there’s a Western shop (or two) where you can buy a bigger belt.
