re: Weekend in Hot Springs, AR

Hot Springs is one of my favorite places.
It's perfect for a weekend getaway.
Hang out at the Arlington on a Saturday night. It's a 20's era hotel that has a great atmosphere. The entrance is kind of a ballroom and they have jazz bands on weekends. The wrap around porch area of the Arlington overlooks all of the historic district and is an amazing place to just relax and hang out with a drink.
There are a couple of semi-famous breakfast joints that are great. Good dinner meal places are a little more hard to come by because they come and go. We'll find a place we love in the historic district and when we go back it will be closed. Has happened a couple of times.
There are a couple of decent bars but they are not really packed, club sorts of places.
Hot Springs is one of the best places to go just sit around, walk around and relax. The less we try to do when we go, the more fun we usually have.

Thanks to everybody for the input. Sounds like I'm likely gonna make the short drive. Only a little over 4 hours from where I'm at now.
Looking do some hiking possibly though not too strenuous with a 16 month old and a pregnant wife, but being out and about for sure.
Live music is always a plus.
Wouldn't mind a stop at a museum, antique/art mulling around, just kinda a lazy weekend away from the house type thing.
Food - We really eat anything. Mexican, soul/home cookin, Italian, German, or anything else that is worth giving a try.
Good to know. Think I may pass on it.
Was wondering about this b/c I see the 3rd Saturday of the month they have some kind of art guild exhibit. No idea what that's all about.
Yeah, was hoping might get a chance for some snow but looks like it's clear the whole weekend. Lows in the upper 20s.
Sweet. Think I'll check it out for a half day or so.
Yeah, the FGs is known for their corned beef too. It must be a racetrack thing. I'll give it a go.
These are the only 2 things I remember from when I was a kid. Everything else is very hazy, but I have a picture of me and my mom on the duck tour and you don't forget a building that looks like that chapel.
How long is this hike would you say? Strenuous, steep trail, or laid back and enjoy the scenery?
What's this all about?
Will check out for sure. Thanks for the suggestion.
Sounds good. These is basically what I'm looking for and kinda how I remember it as a kid.

Gangster museum is pretty cheesy.

They're trying to develop a funky/artsy Asheville-type scene, but they have a ways to go.

This time of year, weather is a crapshoot. It can be springlike, or in the grips of a winter storm, or anything in between.

Oaklawn is real nice

Oaklawn's great and easy to get to. Old school track, although they do have slots

Track better than fairgrounds. You have to eat the corned beef. May be the best in the world.

Garvan Gardens is a cool place to take a look at too in Hot Springs. Check out their wedding chapel. It's awesome
