anyone here stayed the night in Marfa and/or marathon?
in marathon I’m seeing the gage hotel and eve’s garden, in marfa nothing stands out
we like cool and weird places
I love Marfa even though its been over run with art snobs.....it's kind of a mini santa fe, new mexico. The Gage in marathon is a nice hotel but there isn't much else in town. Marfa is full of Austin like hipsters, New York art people and west Texas ranchers which can make for an interesting mix. The Hotel Paisano in Marfa is where James Dean and the rest of the cast of "Giant' stayed during filming and its a nice hotel. There are several art galleries in town and the Donald Judd Studio which offers tours. If you don't know who Donald Judd is google him, he is why Marfa is an art destination now. The Food Shark has a lunch only food truck that's really good. The same guy used to have a late night grilled cheese bar but that may be shut now. Bar wise, Planet Marfa is cheesey but has a nice outdoor area. Lost Horse Saloon is good when its dark. The best bar in the Big Bend area is in Alpine....Harry's Tenaja. Get there are 3pm and the locals will be outside playing guitar and having fun. They will invite you to play with them and will loan you a guitar. I've also seen every seat at the bar inside with real cowboys sitting shoulder to shoulder having a drink after working the ranch all day. I love Harry's.
