The Fairmount Hotel

Tattered pages and cryptic paragraphs at History Shop, a secondhand book store featuring old maps, scrolls, and other written works detailing Texas history. Down the staircase in the lounging area, you can visit SACC, a bar mixing up cocktailed drinks like Bloody Marys and screw drivers. Musicals, plays, and other spectaculars are at the edge of this theater district, offering places like Jammin J Javi and Harland Bands. Head to CVS for anything you've forgotten, in spite of it being Theraflu to fight off a nasty sickness or Cheez Its to snack on at the hotel.
