No one knows the local scene better than, well, the locals. Amy Robinson, former editor of city magazine
Grapevine Today, has lived in North Texas all her life and hangs out regularly in
Grapevine with her husband and three daughters, ages 11, 6 and 5. Here is Amy’s take on the best family-oriented spots around town.
What would you recommend checking out first for someone who’s never been to Grapevine?
I’d recommend visiting Main Street first to someone who has never been to Grapevine. There are tons of cute little shops, galleries, restaurants, wineries and fun little things to see on Main Street. My kids love the gazebo and I love being able to stroll down the street at my leisure and wander in and out of all of the stores. One of my personal favorite shops is
British Emporium.
What’s a family-friendly restaurant you like to eat at?
We really like
Mimi’s. They have some great kids items, plus the servers are always really good at talking to the kids. Another great restaurant is
Los Amigos.
Are there any places in town where you like to shop?
I like
British Emporium, as I mentioned before, but the entire family enjoys
Grapevine Mills. We can spend almost an entire day there!
So take it from Amy and visit some of these places next time you’re in the area — it’s always a good bet to listen to the locals!
