Go on a sunny weekday, just walk around and enjoy the amazing variety of murals. Then eat outside (covid you know) at Monkey King.

The country's largest urban arts district.
Reviewed By 508jacquelinep
I traveled to Dallas on a business trip, I stood in the downtown area at the Crowne Plaza. I took a 5-7 minute drive to Deep Ellum where the art is very beautiful. There are murals painted all over the walls of the buildings, there is also pieces on a statue about a story of a traveling man which is amazing. The Deep Ellum part of downtown Dallas is very rich with art and beautiful.

Sundance Square is a hidden gem. As you drive by, if you blink you may miss it. Best option is to park in the Sundance square Garage across from the Bass Performance Hall and walk approx 1.5 blocks to get to Sundance Square - Very relaxing to just sit and enjoy the ambiance, especially at night when the lights are on/changing, the water fountain is going and the buildings around you light up. you might get lucky and even get some live music while you are there.

Trendy neighborhood featuring galleries, shops, antique stores and restaurants.
Reviewed By wireless_in_CA
This was our favorite neighborhood that we visited during our stay in Dallas. It was also the busiest as well but could have been due to the real nice day in the 70s. Similar to Deep Ellum the stores and restaurants had a lot of character but a more urban appeal to us. We ate BBQ at Lockhart Smokehouse and drooled over the pies slices at Emporium. We listened to guitar players outside of Parker Barrows and the competing one down the same block outside Whitehall Exchange. The was even a band playing inside Revelers Hall (not real sure how they fit along with guests) but the place was jamming. Clothing, outdoor gear and even a vintage record store, Vintage Records, were great places to stop by and shop. Need a haircut then checkout the garage setting at Brass Tacks Barbershop and get your hair cut next to Harleys. Further down Bishop Road was a new and modern building along with a large parking lot. The lot was nice since it was tough finding street parking (free on Sundays).

Trendy Austin area south of Congress Avenue.
Reviewed By DebbieMG130 - Rochester, United States
This stretch of South Congress Avenue will keep you occupied and happy for days. You can divide it up into categories: food and drink; music; shops; and, of course, people watching. The Continental Club and C-boys are two of the great music venues I visited. Stop at Amy's Ice Cream for amazing flavors and add-ins. The food -- pretty much anything you like is there. Try Guero's for Tex-Mex. Just strolling around, you'll find shops that sell everything from cowboy boots to musical instruments to hip clothing.
