Marfa has a population of about 2,000 people, so there’s a slowness to the place. It’s important to not visit on Monday and Tuesday, because there ain’t nothing going on those days.
There are the people who have always lived there and there are the young artists who have moved in. I felt the presence of both as we ambled around.
We were bummed that Marfa Book Co. was closed down, as it was a top destination on our list. I just discovered that they are not closed for good, though! They are just renovating their location and are now in a temporary spot. This bookstore looks like so much more than a bookstore – it’s a community arts center of sorts. A great reason to visit Marfa another time!
We sat outside at Padre's and had burgers. They had a pretty good veggie burger and vibe.
We went to the great little grocery store, The Get Go. It’s a specialty spot with stuff like organic, local veggies and quinoa. From what I can recall, we got dried mango and fancy potato chips.
I had an incredible iced coffee at Do Your Thing, which is where all the cool kids hung out.
Marfa’s City Hall was pretty and pink.
We also went to a couple of bars at night. One with a teepee and a treehouse! One with a fire pit and dogs hanging out!
