Nightlife  

DEEP ELLUM

DEEP ELLUM, Dallas

 26 Reviews  I have been to Deep Ellum a couple of times. The first time was to see a band...Lifehouse, I believe. And the second time was to eat at the Angry Dog (which you can see in my restaurant tips). Both times I felt it was very low key. While I was in college it was the "place to be" but I believe...

 23 Reviews  You can get to and from the Dallas/Ft Worth airport quite cheap, but it takes a few steps. (1) Take a shuttle bus to the South Remote Parking lot.

The Lingo

The Lingo, Dallas

 8 Reviews  Okay, just so you know where this knowledge is coming from, a little bit about me: I was born in Dallas, lived there until I was 4, then moved to Kansas, moved back home to Texas when I was 10. From 10-16 I lived in small-town East Texas, just north of Dallas (near Sherman/Denison). When I was 16 I...

Tourist Traps  

The West End

The West End, Dallas

What to Pack  

Weather Related Clothing

Weather Related Clothing, Dallas

 4 Reviews  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... 

Off The Beaten Path  

Parks / Lakes

It is Pioneer Plaza, the world's largest bronze sculpture of its kind and it depicts a cattle drive of 3 cowboys and 50 steers. Each piece was created by... 

Sports & Outdoors  

Dallas Mavericks

Dallas Mavericks, Dallas

 7 Reviews  The American Airlines Arena is the site of many events, but it was the Dallas Mavericks game that drew us there over Christmas. The arena was jam-packed, so we had to split our group between two sections, which were across the court from each other. Our visit began with a bang, when our...

Dedicated to JFK

Dedicated to JFK, Dallas

 15 Reviews  Interesting museum, filled with photos of JFK, videos and personal things. I didn't take audio tour, I think there are a lot of things to read on your own.
