Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Dallas has great entertainment, restaurants, and shopping for anyone coming to visit the great state of Texas. If I had a friend visiting we would definitely go to some of the local hot spot areas like Deep Ellum, Uptown, Downtown, Bishop Arts and Lower Greenville. There are many things the city of Dallas has to offer from fine dining, nightlife, shopping, and excellent sporting events. For food I’d take anyone visiting out for some great Texas Barbecue. For shopping we would venture over to North Park Mall or the Galleria. Texans love their sports teams so a Rangers, Mavericks, Stars or Cowboys game is always ideal and fun for people visiting. Dallas, TX is developing rapidly with many people moving here from out of state so there is something for everyone.
