A caffeine buzz is hitting the city as two new coffee shops come to town. Method: Caffeination & Fare opened last month on the corner of Ross Avenue and Hall Street.

The multi-roaster caffeine shop carries a carefully curated selection, including Counter Culture Coffee, Madcap Coffee and Tweed … Speaking of Austin-based eateries, Hopdoddy Burger Bar is expanding into uptown to open its second location in the McKinney space formerly occupied by Frankie's Sports Bar … Chef John Tesar is getting creative with the cutlery: His new steakhouse takes up residence in Hotel Palomar, replacing Central 214, this spring.

Lauren Scheinin Art Notes Blowing Out the Candles: Celebrations are in order. Nancy Whitenack's Conduit Gallery turns 30 and has never boasted stronger programming. You never know what you'll discover at this Design District pioneer, but be assured that it will be important and often ground-breaking. (I'll never forget a show several summers ago by Heyd Fontentot; I walked into the installation, a Victorian-inspired chamber within the white cube, to discover hundreds of little nudes, hand-painted and cavorting on the walls — but that's not all. One of them was yours truly, part of the artist's series of art-world pals and players. Up now is lyrical painting by Texas talent Marcelyn McNeil, who contributes a nice take on abstraction with confident canvases that leave space and air for the viewer to enter. Those lucky enough to attend opening night were treated to a fortune-telling performance by NY-based, Lebanese-born Annabel Daou (through March 29) … Happy first birthday to Laura Rathe Fine Art, which mounts an anniversary show that plays homage to its stable. Best bests in the LRFA lineup: Cecil Touchon's studies in blue (so Yves Klein), Meredith Pardue's nature-based abstraction, global lensman/image-maker Steve McCurry (of Afghan Girl renown) and the always transcendental portal paintings of McKay Otto (through March 29). Road Trip: Over at Red Arrow Contemporary, Apophenia Underground's Justin Ginsberg and Jeff Gibbons undertook a grand Kerouac-worthy 13,000-mile car adventure last summer, with the siren call of the open road and the desire to loosen up the art world. (After all, this is the duo that launched the deeply satisfying Deep Ellum Windows project, still going strong this spring.) See the video and other odd ephemera from the new creators of the Dallas avant-garde (through March 29). Come On Down: I'm always amazed there isn't more cross-pollination in the Texas art world. Houstonians, of course, never miss the Dallas Art Fair and the fêtes and exhibitions that surround the occasion — including, this year, Schnabel and Phillips at the Dallas Contemporary. Consider yourself invited to partake of Magritte at The Menil Collection, with double exhibitions showcasing the artist's early and late work (through June 1), and bask in cubist pioneer Georges Braque's retrospective, organized by the Pompidou, at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (through May 11). And while you're here, don't miss the inimitable FotoFest, America's foremost photographic convergence, and the first-ever presentation in the U.S. of contemporary photography from the Arab world (March 15 – April 27). Catherine D. Anspon Meredith Pardue's Grand Orchida, 2014, at Laura Rathe Fine Art Restaurant Buzz T ailored cuts and nipped waists ruled the runway last season at Altuzarra. For spring, expect to celebrate a simple striped skirt and cotton shirts, with shimmering cool gold and silver metallics. With honors such as the CFDA Swarovski Award for Womenswear Design in 2012, the CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund Award in 2011 and Fashion Group International Rising Star of the Year and Ecco Domani in 2010 under his belt, Joseph Altuzarra has tantalized the fashion industry since his arrival on the fashion scene in 2008. For me, there's only one word: smitten. During his recent visit to Dallas, we had a little chat in the T Room at Forty Five Ten. Max Trowbridge How do you take your coffee in the mornings? With a little skimmed milk and two Splendas, and I usually have it iced even during the winter. You're reading? Alice Munro short stories — she won the Nobel Prize this year, and she writes these wonderful stories about women and women's lives, which are beautiful. And I started reading this children's book called Wonder that everyone is reading, about a little boy who starts going to school, but he has a severe facial disfigurement that's never really described in the book: it's about how people accept him. Are you inspired by art? I just got back from Art Basel. I love looking at art. Some designers are very inspired by art, but I don't make the intellectual jump very naturally to see things in art and bring them across to fashion. I find more inspiration in design, whether it's furniture or objects. I actually loved Design Miami and saw some incredible things, and I loved all the steel work that Maria Pergay showed. She's the artist that collaborated with Fendi; she also had pieces from the '70s and '80s on exhibit. Which social-media platform do you prefer and why? Instagram. I've never done Twitter; I'm just not a writer. I think people who are good at Twitter are really good at quips; they're good at witty little comments. I'm much better at visuals and creating an image. Your key look for Spring 2014? It's the striped-button-shirt look, really open, and a striped slit skirt. Minutes BILL FARRELL Joseph Altuzarra at Forty Five Ten Marcelyn McNeil's Untitled, 2014, at Conduit Gallery C O L L E C T O R ' S CONVERSATION DALLAS ART FAIR Dallas-based patron, collector, educator and president of Henry S. Miller Interests, Inc., Jackie Stewart, poses questions to exhibiting gallerist Rachel Churner, owner, Churner and Churner, New York. Tell us about growing up in Dallas and how it impacted your entry into the art world. I'll never forget the first time I stood under Oldenburg's Stake Hitch at the DMA, or saw Borofsky's huge Hammering Man at NorthPark Mall. Those works stayed with me because they seemed to engage the legacy of Texas — its cowboy and oil rig days — without having been built specifically for a Texas space. I grew up in McKinney, and back then it was still a small town. I spent a lot of time at the Heard Natural Science Museum as a kid: They had one of those glow-in-the-dark rock displays and old dusty rooms with vitrines of shells. The intimacy of the museum stuck with me and is something that I still think about. You really felt that you were part of the place instead of a mere visitor. Why are you exhibiting at the 2014 Dallas Art Fair? The Dallas Art Fair has a great reputation, and my colleagues who've done it in the past speak incredibly highly of it. Plus, the energy in the Dallas art world is so strong right now — from the DMA to the Kimbell to the amazing private collections. We wanted to be a part of that. And, of course, I'm excited to be back in my hometown, even if only for a few days. How will your booth be curated? Which artists will you bring? New works by three incredible up-and-coming artists: Nick Hornby, Elise Adibi and Scott Nedrelow. Nick's marble resin sculpture is both an homage to and a subversion of classical sculpture. It is also a beautiful object in its own right. The piece, 6 Degrees Takes One Minute, is based on the profile of Michelangelo's David mirrored upon itself at an acute angle to make a new compound face, which is then extruded to a point. Elise, who was just featured in Artforum (January 2014), is showing new paintings made from essential plant oils and oil paint that engage the grid and simultaneously explode it. And Scott will exhibit a group of new paintings that look like photographs of shadows. Made by air-brushing printer ink onto photo paper, they are subtle challenges to the viewer.
