What's to do in your fine city of Dallas?

[Goblinmonger]

I'm going to be there 17th-24th of this month. Anything for this small town boy from the land of brats and cheese?

1. You might try Deep Elm,

If you're just wanting to see what happening with Dallas night life. Allot of clubs and live music, and people.

If you're going to Deep Ellem
Keep your money in you shoe
Cuz the folk down in Deep Ellem
Make a fool out of you.

Oh sweet mama daddy's got them Deep Ellem Blues!

Peace!

2. Lots of good little places to eat

and gay-friendly nightlife (clubs, etc.) in the Oak Lawn neighborhood.

If you like art, don't miss the Nasher Sculpture center. Also the DMA and the Crow Asian Art Collection are good.

The standard tourist destinations are:
- the grassy knoll, the JFK memorial, and the conspiracy theory museum.
- City Hall, by I.M. Pei, with a Henry Moore sculpture out front, and a nearby flood of longhorns that people like to take pictures with.
- lots of tourists like to go out to Southfork and take a picture, although that would require a car and a bit of a drive.

What do you like to do? We have all the fun usual city stuff, shopping, great restaurants, etc.

3. come on over to Fort Worth and enjoy our weird mix of

cowboys and culture. great museums, zoo, lively safe downtown.

check out the Texas Tourism Website ..and the Convention and Visitors Bureau for both cities.

11. I did get a chance to get to Ft Worth

I actually enjoyed it much more than Dallas. Nice downtown area you have. We found a nice little sushi bar.

Come back and stay longer. We have a grocery store that has a burgers and beer party with live music every Saturday Night from April through October.

5. wow

I lived in Dallas a long time ago and I'll never ever forget that place and those cheese fries.

9. I will have to have some now

that it was mentioned. Are they really that filling?

[redqueen]

6. What are you interested in?

Art? Museums? Nightlife? Restaurants?

The Bone in Deep Ellum is cool... also the Green Room, but I think that's closed now. :( Well, the Bone has huge shots and a nice roof deck, but the music's kinda cheesy.

There's the West End... kinda touristy but still fun.

There's also Greenville Ave, or Knox Henderson/Lemmon Ave...

8. I'm not going to have a lot of time

but a good blues or bluegrass bar would be cool. Some nice places for supper for a couple of vegetarians (did get some hints on those--thanks).

10. dallas observer is a good place to look

hmmm there's a blues bar in arlington called stumpy's i think... not too far away

for veg food i suggest kalachanji's ... not sure of the spelling... good food, buffet style. it's a hare krishna temple, but they don't preach to you or anything

[fudge stripe cookays]

13. The Green Room closed?

Bummer. Always meant to get down there, but we almost got nailed by a drunk driver down there a few years ago, so were never enthusiastic about Deep Ellum after that.

7. Might checkout the Dallas Observer

dallasobserver.com for events which are happening during your visit.
