Clyde room, actually occupied by Clyde Barrow during his 1932 Fort Worth stay (the
faux bullet holes and boot jacks only add to the mystique).

Put on the feed bag and grab some Texas-style fixins' in Sundance Square and in the
Stockyards. Head to West 7th for new-fangled additions to the dining scene, or just walk
down Magnolia and breathe in the foodie revolution. Many of the museums, such as the
Kimbell, also have excellent cafes. PS: you're in Fort Worth - have a steak.
