Greenville Avenue St. Patrick's Day Parade
by ATXtraveler
One day a year, every American is Irish, and in Dallas the place to tip your hat and say Slainte is on Lower Greenville Avenue, on the East side of Dallas. Greenville Avenue is already known for its street full of fun bars and eateries, but once a year, they block off the street, and the St. Patrick's Day spirit comes out in force. The day starts early with a parade, and goes long into the night with plenty of Guinness and green Bud Light flowing. Most of the people who live on adjoining streets will also host smaller gatherings, so people can take a break from the craziness and enjoy the passersby from a safe distance.
I was invited to one such party last time, and enjoyed a decent crawfish boil as we watched people walk on by.
Leave out the snowshoes!
by elise_crash
Although you can probably leave out your snow boots, I would suggest being prepared for almost any other kind of weather (especially in spring)! You can never tell what the weather is going to be like. One day it is a hot, dry, 95 degrees, and the next day is 70 and raining. I would definitely suggest being prepared for the rain. You will almost definitely encounter some!
US Highway 75 in Uptown/North Dallas
by kd_baby
This may be corny, but I really enjoy the drive of Highway 75 between I-635 and 45 (where 45 ends and 75 begins) when it's not congested. This is also known as the University Park/Highland Park/Uptown area.
The only time it's never really congested is on the weekends before 12pm.
Some things bridal
by virtualling about Mary's Bridal & Tux
Business hours:
Mon-Sat, 11am-7pm
Sun: 12pm-4pm
I was in a situation where "desperate for a wedding dress" was an understatement - Don't ask.
The reason I was at Dallas that evening was to have dinner and bubble tea from Bistro B, a Vietnamese restaurant a few doors away from this bridal store. Also, grocery shopping at Hong Kong Market. All within the same vicinity. Whoo hoo.
The dresses at Mary's were mostly Sizes 8 and above.
Choices are just ok for a small store. The decor was a little tad tacky for me but hey, taste is subjective right?
There are also traditional asian attire with wedding accessories, shoes.
Tux rental is available.
I had no luck finding anything I like here.
Life must go on...The bubble tea at Bistro B was awesome.
More Gay Night Spots (this one's for the ladies)
by Carrie27 about Sue Ellen's
Sue Ellen's is the best lesbian bar in town, as well as one of the only lesbian bars in town (remember, this is the deep south). There is drinking and dancing and live music on occasion. Located right next to The Village Station in Oak Lawn. No dress code (though sometimes I know we all wish there were).
