Trippy Visuals From the Department of Whoa, Dudenew

SAMA’s Psychedelic art exhibition — years in the making by David Rubin, SAMA’s Brown Curator of Contemporary Art — is well worth seeing. It’s a surefire psychoactive mood enhancer, at the least.

Indulge in the Culinary Triple-Threat at Restaurant Insiginianew

Salt, sugar, and fat: They’re the one-two-three punch of 21st-century food. In coming up with a menu for Insignia in the Fairmount, his new globally influenced American restaurant, Jason Dady unabashedly makes use of all three. Chicken and waffles are a case in point.

San Antonio's Own Buffalo Exchangenew

It's not often that when you leave a stable 9-to-5 to open your dream business, you hit the zeitgeist of the times so cleanly. Luckily, this is exactly what happened to Crystal Palmer and Sandra Huizar when they opened Stitch to Wear, a "recycled fashion" boutique in San Antonio.

'No. 5''s Alterations Are an Awkward Fitnew

No. 5 is new, and as such it deserves the kindness offered to new things, but an audience can make only so many allowances for poor construction. A departing patron said it best, to no one in particular, en francais: "It is a good thing she is dead."
