So my son will be coming down there in July for a Civil Air Patrol encampment this summer. Part of it he has to do a 3 day training next month. The wife and I will hang out and wait on him. Looking for a nice place to stay in a good part of town and also things to do or see in the area? Our Arkansas experience has been in the NW part of the state. Also any good places to eat? We like trying local places.
We will be there all day on a Saturday day and the morning on a Sunday. Thank you for any help |

I grew up in NLR, generally in that area (Levy).
Unfortunately I left in 1971 for college in NW Arkansas, so I can’t really give much advice. I know that area has declined a lot since I left. Conway is 30ish miles north on I40 and I think would be safer. |

Conway. Or Cabot.
I dislike traveling into LR/NLR unarmed. It's not a war zone, but it's not a really safe area. Obviously being on the military reservation is an exception to that. |

Thank you guys. Sounds like we need to stay in Conway. How’s Mikes place for seafood? Looks good online. Anything we need to check out while we are there? I won’t be packing since we will be having to take him on base.

Mike's place has good food.
Seafood is pretty good to be this far inland, but obviously doesn't compare to most coastal towns. |

The Argenta district in downtown NLR is nice. Suggest hang out there Saturday.
Little Rock's version (River Market) is directly across the river. You would have plenty of time to see both. I live close enough to Camp Robinson that I can hear reville some mornings at 6am and automatic gunfire many weekends. I don't have any suggestions for hotels. |

Well it’s been a day but we made it. Sitting in the hotel in Conway. Anything to go see around here tomorrow? Any good gun shops or sporting goods stores around here?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By cpermd: We hit the Oyster Bar in LR when in town. The Oyster Bar is awesome. When my son was back in town from Alaska, he makes a point of stopping there. It's a far cry from the old neighborhood dive it was in the 80s, but still has lots of character and great food! |

American Tiger in Maumelle. Arkansas Sportsman in Atkins. |
