Things To Do
The Rustic
Texas-sized margaritas and a large "backyard" outdoor space with live music on the weekends. This venue has become a Fourth of July tradition for Emily and Sean.
Sixty Vines
Sixty wines on tap, along with good pizza and charcuterie. Emily and Sean live across the street and will go here for any occasion -- whether it's Emily passing the Patent Bar, Sean winning his first trial, a friend coming into town, or a random Tuesday.
Reunion Tower
Emily and Sean enjoy going to the top of Reunion Tower for some of the best skyline views in Dallas.
Preston Center
For guests staying at the Park Cities Hilton, Preston Center is one block away. You can find multiple restaurants, a Target, and a CVS all within walking distance from the hotel. For breakfast or lunch on Saturday, try Flying Fish, Sclafani's Bagels, Yolk, or other restaurants in the center.
Mi Cocina
Iconic Dallas Tex Mex. Emily was "on her way" to this restaurant when she was diverted by Sean's proposal. There is also a location at Klyde Warren Park.
Katy Trail Ice House
Sean and Emily's first stop after completing three days of the Texas bar exam. Stop here for a margarita or summer beer on the patio. And if you want to walk off whatever you ate or drank, there is a great walking/running trail directly next to the restaurant.
Klyde Warren Park
A large park space next to downtown Dallas with food trucks and a Mi Cocina Tex-Mex restaurant. The Mi Cocina here offers plenty of outdoor seating and picnic baskets for the park.
Dallas Museum of Art
The DMA has interesting traveling exhibits and a robust permanent art collection. The Nasher Sculpture Center is also across the street and is worth a visit if you enjoy art.
Perot Museum of Nature and Science
Emily (forever a science major) and Sean (the accounting major who humors her) have been on several dates here. It's not just for kids! Check out the dinosaur bones, race against Dallas sports icons (virtually), and see what travelling exhibit is in town.
The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza
Emily and Sean have not actually been here... but here is the address for all the history buffs out there!
The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden
This is a large outdoor space next to White Rock Lake that is fun to wander around when the weather is nice.
NorthPark Center
This is a large mall that is close to the Park Cities Hilton. In case you forgot to pack something...!
Chelsea Corner
This is a fun spot for drinks with an outdoor patio.
