Marfa My Dear
Marfa Stark and plain and sad and gorgeous.
El Cosmico Friendly and lonesome all at once. Amazing desert plot with yurts, teepees, restored trailers and tent camping. Dog friendly.
Fat Lyle’s Food truck . Nice tomato and cucumber sandwich and naughty brussel sprout french fries; both to die for.
Pizza Foundation Thin crust pizza by-the-slice in an old refurbished gas station.
Q Cafe Amazing morning grits bowl. Try it veg with avocado.

Frama, Plaine, and Tumbleweed Washing machines, coffee, and ice cream. I’m in love with this.
