Best Way to Avoid the TABC Altogether

Homebrew Headquarters

We used to think TABC stood for Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, but now we're starting to wonder if it really means Thugs Against Beer Consumption. The state's insanely complex alcohol code favors big-business distributors at the expense of craft breweries—which is why the country's thirstiest beer-drinking state has so few of them. Thanks to Homebrew Headquarters, you don't have to get the approval of those jackbooted goons (yet) to brew your own. You can get anything from a barebones starter kit to an ounce of Cascade whole hops to a Wortchiller Counterflow. Best of all, the staff is patient with foam rangers of all experience levels and tastes and won't belittle you if you don't know a hop from a malt or want to brew up some light lager.

Best Way to Dress Like a Million Without Spending One

Rethreads

After losing 30 pounds, a friend found himself facing an entire wardrobe that no longer fit. How would he possibly replace his duds without spending a fortune? Someone told him about Rethreads and he hit the jackpot, returning with suits, dress shirts and a plethora of new pants. The place is full of pricey designer clothes that appear to have been worn just once or twice and then discarded for the next season's style. There are racks and racks of designer dress shirts and smart stylish suits for men and women, many of them by designers like Giorgio Armani and Anne Klein. On a recent visit, we couldn't resist buying a fantastic black skirt suit by Donna Karan. That's the thing about this place—if you go, you just can't help yourself, so beware!
