AUGUST | PAGE 17 | 2014 RETRO CREATIVE PREP- STER E dgy and cutting-edge, you shun the mainstream. Substitute Starbucks with Houndstooth Coffee, an Austin original slated to open in the neighborhood later this month in the old Pearl Cup space. On offer is beer and wine in addition to coffee, tea and pastries. Then check out Urban Flower Grange Hall, a lavish, well- established boutique (soon to include a divine eatery) stocking fine jewelry, apothecary, home design curiosities, oddities and trinkets. If you collect vintage fashion, spend an afternoon browsing the recently relocated Vintage Martini, for one-of-a-kind pieces from your favorite decades, from Victorian to the '80s, from a '20s flapper dress to a '70s jumpsuit — think Pierre Cardin, Pucci, Traina- Norrell and Halston. If boho and cowboy chic are more your style drop by the Melissa Benge Collection. End the day with a fried-chicken and champagne chow down at Sissy's Southern Kitchen & Bar. O kay, you dapper dudes, here's where to go for blazers and trousers, shades, furnishings and a cold brew. Mitchell Gold & Bob Williams has sleek, well-made and beautifully designed furniture, as well as stunning accessories such as geode bookends. Check out the newly opened Warby Parker for good-looking eyewear and the new Bonobos for tailored dress shirts, trousers and blazers. Grab a drink at the Henderson Tap House, which boasts 40-plus types of beer and cocktails such as the Dubliner in Dallas (Jameson Irish whiskey, sweet vermouth and Angostura bitters). There's an expansive bar and cool bookshelves inside, plus a fun outdoor patio. Then try Mesero Miguel's Mexican-American restaurant; personal favorites are grilled shrimp tacos and tomatillo chicken enchiladas. Glued to our iPhones and iPads, sharing photos of delicious meals, exotic locales and beautiful ensembles — aren't we all techies in some fashion? Of course, geniuses go gaga at the Apple Store. Smart dressers of the male persuasion appreciate Trunk Club, where stylists do the shopping based on clothing and accessory preferences. The Establishment's sharp interior design and equally sharp menu (oyster bar, anyone?) make it a great spot for a drink and intelligent conversation. Design Within Reach nods to the stylish, with modern furniture classics such as the Eames lounge chair, Tom Dixon lighting and a Frank Gehry sofa.
