Our favorite neighborhood in Dallas (we live nearby!). Lots of shops, restaurants, cafes, etc! Cute area that's walkable! Some of our favorite spots are: Salty Donut (the BEST donuts), Whitehall Exchange (good for a cold one), Revelers Hall (live jazz music and the site of our first date!), La Reunion or Tribal Cafe (coffee places!), Emporium Pies (pies -- obviously), Paradiso (cocktails), Enos (delicious pizza!), All Good Things (cute gift shop), and so much more!
Small grouping of shops/restaurants right down the street from our house! Houndstooth (coffee), Taco Deli (our weekly breakfast taco place!), Cibo Divino (wine/italian food that also serves as a small marketplace -- also where we're having dinner and wine writing these recommendations right now!), Jettison (hidden cocktail bar!), Sylvan Avenue Tavern (sports bar that's owned by a St Louis Native -- so lots of provel-heavy snacks haha!), Whisk (crepes YUM), Ten Ramen (Jared's favorite ramen place in town!), and again so much more!
In the heart of downtown is an incredible Arts District! The Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas Museum of Art, Crow Museum of Asian Art, Perot Science Museum, the Winspear Opera House, and Meyerson Symphony are just some of the many options to feed your artistic side!
