It looks like I'm going to be making a pit stop in the area and thought-- why not see about making it a little longer of a pit stop?

Soooo-- the big question is... any warnings for a woman who has never---ever----ever been to the area? Must go places? Hotels to avoid?

Crystal Bridges is nice

Hey Grace. I am assuming you'll arrive at XNA airport on Walton Blvd there are several nice places but if your only be here for the night there's a motel just north of the air port

Baconman · 04-16-2022, 08:20 AM

Grace, for selfish reasons. I'd be interested in visiting the attention whore in the middle. Lol

I agree with Baconman on that.

Alas-- I won't be able to see your fine International Airport.. I'm a driving sort of girl

CatMan4u · 04-16-2022, 01:03 PM

Oh ok so what kind of place you like to stay at

Grace Preston · 04-16-2022, 01:33 PM

I "think" I've already found my hotel. I try to stay in nicer places-- single woman, traveling alone-- I don't like having to worry about my safety or the safety of my car.

Bigger question is-- I need one or two "must try" restaurants in the area-- non-chain are always preferred. I'm going to be there for a couple days now so-- may as well enjoy it while I'm there

CatMan4u · 04-16-2022, 02:04 PM

I can't help you on that one
I don't eat out much
Since I am a old farm boy cracker barrel is my go to
My favorite place is at the Y

Grace Preston · 04-16-2022, 03:06 PM

Oh the Y? I'll be sure to take you to breakfast there

I don't eat out often when I'm home-- but on the road-- I do like to try new places. Its part of the fun of traveling around.

Wrights BBQ in Johnson is world class

niteswimmer1 · 04-16-2022, 06:48 PM

Catfish Hole in Fayetteville, Walk-On’s in Rogers, and Market Place in Springdale. And for something to see try Crystal Bridges Museum in Bentonville.

Grace Preston · 04-16-2022, 09:52 PM

I've had so many suggestions of Crystal Bridges that I had to Google it.

Yup... that's a must do.
