Where The (Downtown) Locals Are Seen

Monday, October 10th, 2011

Little Rock is a small city.  I think everyone is aware of that.  But we are very lucky that we have such wonderful entrepreneurs making life so very interesting for us.

Over the weekend, I realized that the two wonderful wine bars, Zin and Crush, are so very different, but such wonderful additions to the downtown Little Rock neighborhood.

Zin is very urbane and sophisticated with it’s very cool vibe.  Michael and Troy have created such a wonderful haven just inside the River Market.  The selection of wines never fails to satisfy the pallet, and you never know who will be through the door next.

Crush is on the other side of the Arkansas River in Argenta.  It is so very earthy and warm.  This time of year the patio provides a perfect backdrop for gathering friends.  Joe’s happy hour specials are always sure to please.

Both wine bars have live entertainment of Saturday, and wonderful tastings.   Zin on Wednesday, and Crush on Monday.  Both are sure to please whichever mood the guest is currently in.  Just minutes away from both of these great wine bars,

Robinwood Bed and Breakfast has the pleasure of enjoying these treasures.  Yes, I think we are very lucky indeed.

Must See for Arkansas Civil War Buffs…..

Monday, June 13th, 2011

After 150 years and way too many movies, many of us have an unrealistic view of life in Arkansas in the Civil War era.  The Historic Arkansas Museum’s feature this month makes a great use of a classic movie, “Gone With the Wind” and visual material from that difficult time in our history to clear the air.

Movie costumes, photos, and outtakes,  allow visitors to enter the world of Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler, with all it’s glamor and romance.  Real photos and artifacts draw the viewer to another world altogether.  One where life was anything but romantic, real people living very real lives.

Minutes away from Historic Arkansas Museum, we invite you to enjoy a glimpse of the reality of our local history.

Cool Things to Do When It’s Hot In Little Rock, AR

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

Temperatures are rising fast in Little Rock, AR, but that doesn’t mean there is nothing to do.  Museums abound in Little Rock.  The Arkansas Arts Center in historic MacArthur Park hosts elegant art galleries that showcase exhibitions from the AAC’s acclaimed collection of unique works.

If history is more your thing, start at Curran Hall, Little Rock’s visitors center.  Built in 1842 by Col. Ebenezer Walters, Curran Hall is a great place to begin your adventure.   The Arkansas History Commission serves as the official State Archives.  Historic Arkansas Museum celebrates Arkansas’s culturaland material heritage with six galleries of art and artifacts.   Central High School National Historic Site highlights the battleground in the struggle for civil rights.  The Mosaic Templars Cultural Center is dedicated to the story of African American life and business in Arkansas.

Military buffs will find the MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History a great way to start their adventure.  The Arsenal Building is one of Little Rock’s oldest surviving structures, built in 1840 to protect Arkansans from Indian attack.  The Arkansas National Guard Museum, in North Little Rock , tells the story of the Arkansas Nation Guard from 1804 to today.

The Museum of Discovery keeps the smallest guests to Arkansas busy with hands-on, interactive exhibits.

Fans of Bill Clinton will find a visit to the William J Clinton Presidential Library very satisfying.  The old State House where he announced his canadacy for president has wonderful exhibits on Arkansas.

Robinwood  Bed and Breakfast is in the heart of all of these.   Come and let us help you discover Little Rock.

New Year's in Little Rock

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Do something new and different this New Year’s Eve: grab your sweetie and head to our Little Rock lodging for a romantic night together. Whether this is your first New Year’s Eve together, or your fiftieth, you can make it special. We are beginning a new decade, after all, and that seems to call for extraordinary measures. Make the arrival of 2010 something you will both remember for the rest of your lives.

Our Little Rock lodging is located in the Quapaw Quarter – nine square miles of historic area in the heart of the city. You can pass a memorable – and romantic – stay here by doing nothing other than strolling the oak-lined streets hand-in-hand, admiring the rich historic architecture.

There are many excellent restaurants, cafes and bars in the Quapaw Quarter; ask us some of our favorites, or just keep walking until you happen upon a place that strikes your fancy.

The River Market District, also quite close, is another good place to find good food. It may also be the best spot for a wide selection of live music.

You may choose to spend New Year’s Eve out on the town, or you may choose to spend it together at the inn. What is important is that you have decided to take this time to be together, and to celebrate one another as you welcome 2010.

Happy New Year!
