MARGARITA MAKER<br />
Long before the frozen<br />
margarita machine was<br />
the ubiquitous taco stand<br />
accessory it is today, it was a<br />
fixture in Mariano’s Hacienda<br />
(www.marianosrestaurant.<br />
com), where founder Mariano<br />
Martinez invented the<br />
contraption back in 1971.<br />
These days, the machine itself<br />
resides in The Smithsonian in<br />
Washington, DC, but guests<br />
can still order a frosty drink—<br />
in traditional, strawberry,<br />
pomegranate or mango—in<br />
the original location.<br />

AND THE ECSTASY<br />
Despite his fame, Renaissance artist<br />
Michelangelo produced just four known<br />
easel paintings in his entire life. As of September,<br />
the Kimbell Art Museum (www.<br />
kimbellart.org) in downtown Ft. Worth<br />
became the only museum in the US to own<br />
one of them, The Torment of Saint Anthony,<br />
which, incidentally, was the artist’s first<br />
painting (he finished it at the age of 13).<br />
Michelangelo’s The Torment of Saint Anthony<br />
DID YOU KNOW? Dallas is the site of the nation’s first planned shopping<br />
center, Highland Park Village (www.hpvillage.com). Opened in 1931, the<br />
9.9-acre site has been called the prototype for destination shopping.<br />
