What to do and see in Dallas, Texas (TX): The Best Neighborhoods

December 13, 2021 Claudia Navarrete

You may have all heard that everything is bigger in Texas. Well, Dallas does its best to fulfill that promise. You'll find several museums with vast art collections and fascinating specialty museums like The Sixth Floor Museum/Texas School Book Depository, which, though small in size, offers an immense amount of information about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. And of course, visit a local steakhouse for a terrific (and enormous) meal.

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

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.

Bishop Arts District

Trendy neighborhood featuring galleries, shops, antique stores and restaurants.

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).
