What we’re about
Texpats NYC is a social meetup for Texans and friends living in New York City. It’s a chance to get together, meet people with similar backgrounds and diverse interests, and get a fix of food, drink, sports, and music with a Texas-friendly vibe.

See all- Texpats Brooklyn BrunchParklife, Brooklyn, NY
Let's go to Brooklyn for brunch!
Specifically, the exotic neighborhood of Gowanus -- where the trees grow not very much and the water flows like an EPA Superfund site.
Parklife is a modern taqueria inspired by Persian, Mexican & Texan flavors. Recently rated one of New York's best outdoor spots, they offer a full menu of tacos, tlayudas, queso, guac and churros.
It's our first foray to this lovely locale, and nearby are several breweries if we decide another tipple is in order after the meal.
Parklife opens at 2pm, so we'll get there early for the best seat in the house.
- Texpats Happy Hour at Kellogg’s DinerKellogg's Diner, Brooklyn, NY
Kellogg's Diner in Williamsburg has reopened with a Tex-Mex inspired menu.
After months of temporary closure, it's Texas-native Jackie Carnesi’s turn as caretaker, where she brings in some Tex-Mex influence mixed in with years of working in New York restaurants.
There’s guajillo-braised short rib hash with chipotle sauce and poblano meatloaf, in addition to diner staples like burgers.
Of course, house queso will be a go-to.
On the breakfast side, find items like Texas French toast crusted with cornflakes (Kellogg’s brand, of course).
And chef Jackie will be making their flour tortillas in-house.
Let's go check it out!
