I will give a few.

Mi Charito Ray for hole in the wall Mex.

Flying Saucer is still hard to beat for selection of beer.

Buffalo Bros if you don't want a chain for wings. Kind of college dive bar mixed with sports bar with good wings and pizza.

Grocery store - Central Market

Movie Theatre - 7th Street Movie Tavern or Rave at Ridgmar Mall.

Coyote Drive In off edge of downtown is a must for a double feature drive in movie experience.

Pizza - Rocco's is wood fired and affordable. However, pretty much a takeout place. Cane Rosso is good but a bit pricey. It is also wood fired pizza.

Cheap Golf - Rockwood. Going west of FTW; Whitestone, Lost Creek, and Crown Valley.

NRH2O is the water park I like best.

I still like the bar area of Michaels on 7th street for craft cocktails.

Old South and Paris Coffee Shop for breakfast. Sunday brunch at Hunter Bros H3 Ranch in the stockyards is also good.

No matter how many pizza joints I go to, I keep going back to Mamas on Berry.

Had an alum friend who hadn't been in FW in 20 years come for a game. He almost ate the whole damn pizza.

Split between Paris and Ol South on breakfast. I don't know, Ol South just seems dirty to me. Some upgrading is badly needed.

Ah, A Great Notion. Definitely one of the great dive bars in Fort Worth. For our first date, I took my wife out for Taco Heads and a drink at A Great Notion. Knew she was a keeper when she was willing to go out with me again after going there.
