Hannah and Derek James from Springfield, Missouri

What brought you to Eureka this weekend?

Hannah: We’re celebrating our 11th anniversary.

Derek: This is kind of our weekend getaway spot, Eureka Springs.

What’s your favorite thing to eat in town?

Hannah: We come to Local Flavor every time.

Derek: Local Flavor Café is our spot. We’re here today and tomorrow, and they’re not open Sunday nights, so we’re trying the brunch out.

Hannah: We also love the Balcony Bar in the Basin Park Hotel.

Derek: And Jack Rabbett’s Whisky Bar there.

How about shopping?

Hannah: We love the game store, Game Makers, and then the Packrats store. Those are our two favorites, but we haven’t been anywhere new yet.

Derek: And there’s a snack store that has all the snacks from around the world.

What brings you back to Eureka?

Hannah: It’s just the vibe, honestly.

Derek: The restaurants are great. Everyone’s nice. Our late-night spot is the Gravel Bar around the way. When they have live music, it’s nice sitting out on the porch.

Describe Eureka Springs in three words.

Derek: The weekend spot.

Will you be back?

Hannah: Yes, absolutely.
