Things To Do
State Fair of Texas
They have fried Oreos and fried Coke. Enough said.
Dallas Museum Of Art
One of the largest art museums in the US. Special exhibitions in October 2018 focus on the art and history of the Hopi people; on Islamic art; and on technology in the modern age.
Perot Museum of Nature and Science
Named after a Dallas local who championed populism without dismissing science. Isn't politics strange?
The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza
One of Texas’ most visited historic sites, The Sixth Floor Museum chronicles the life and assassination of John F. Kennedy.
Stockyards Championship Rodeo
Head to Fort Worth for all things rodeo. If you'd rather not see animals suffer for our amusement, find a nearby bar, order a tequila, and hop on the mechanical bull instead.
Texas v. Oklahoma football
The game is on the same day as our wedding, October 6. Don't be late for the ceremony!
Stampede 66
One of Devon's favorite restaurants in Dallas. Contemporary American cuisine.
Bowen House
This quirky cocktail bar is located in the space formerly occupied by the vintage clothing store Ahab Bowen, where Devon worked for several summers until it closed in 2011. The store is missed, but the drinks are dope.
CBD Provisions
Casual brunch spot in downtown Dallas.
Torchy's Tacos
Where the Tex meets the Mex.
Braindead Brewing
Good local Texas beer.
Northpark
Dallas wouldn't be Dallas without its malls. The Northpark Center is particularly known for its public art, including several sculptures from the Nasher collection.
Bishop Arts District
Over the last decade, the Bishop Arts District has grown into one of the city's most vibrant and most walkable neighborhoods with plenty of restaurants, bars, and boutique shops.
Deep Ellum
According to one 1937 account, this is "the only place recorded on earth where business, religion, hoodooism, gambling and stealing goes on at the same time without friction." The Grateful Dead also wrote a song about this entertainment and nightlife neighborhood.
