Ten Standout Southern Bourbon Festivals

2 days ago | gardenandgun.com | Gabriela Gomez-Misserian

A great bourbon festival is about more than just what’s in your glass.

A Weekend Guide to Jasper, a Gem in Northern Arkansas

2 days ago | gardenandgun.com | Gabriela Gomez-Misserian

Arkansas’s Newton County is a place preserved: no stoplights, and scarce cell service. The county seat of Jasper’s population (547) remains roughly what it was 125 years ago. In recent years, however, the long-delayed specters of change have sniffed out Northern Arkansas’s once-isolated rural pockets, often in the form of travelers drawn to the area’s miles of mountain bike trails—and their need for a good bite and a welcoming spot to rest.
The Lasting Allure of American Girl

When I was five years old, my family took a trip to Colonial Williamsburg. While exploring a blacksmith’s shop and the once-governor’s palace might not entice most kindergarteners, for me, the place might as well have been Disney World. Clad in a tricorn hat, I bounded through the cobblestone streets as if I lived there, just a girl in a petticoat on the edge of the Revolution.

Barbecue and Broncos: The Deep Connection Between Calgary and Texas

4 days ago | gardenandgun.com | Gabriela Gomez-Misserian

Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Canadian Rockies, Calgary has evolved from a frontier cattle town into a dynamic cultural hub where urban cowboys rub shoulders with oil executives. The city pulses with energy year-round, but never more so than each July during the legendary Calgary Stampede—a ten-day whirlwind of bronc busting, chuckwagon racing, and enough over-the-top eats to make a state fair blush.

“I was just there to play disc golf,” says Jonathan Marlowe, who last week teed off with friends at the Splinter City Disc Golf Course in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. On Hole 11, he looked up and saw an osprey carrying something in its claws—and that’s when things got weird.

The Southern Side of Isaac Mizrahi

5 days ago | gardenandgun.com | Gabriela Gomez-Misserian

Isaac Mizrahi could easily be considered an honorary Southerner, given his instincts as a natural-born storyteller and flair for the dramatic. That’s in addition to his renown as an iconic fashion designer, television show host, cabaret singer, writer, and actor. He combines all those talents for his one-man show Isaac Mizrahi: I Know Everybody, which he’s bringing to Spoleto Festival USA in Charleston, South Carolina, this week, on the evenings of June 5 and 7, at the Charleston Music Hall.
The Best Varieties of Roses for Southern Gardens

“A rose that grows well all over the country is a rose that doesn’t exist,” says Paul Zimmerman. He would know—he’s grown roses on the West Coast, in Miami, and now in upstate South Carolina through his rose-centric landscape consulting business. Along the way—and with a little help from a series of rose trials he runs at Biltmore—he’s sussed out the varieties that work best in Southern climes.
