Absolutely stunning and located right next to the peaceful White Rock Lake. Great during the day and has great live music in the evenings! Perfect for bringing a picnic lunch or dinner during concerts on the lawn! Very kid friendly as well.

Unique Park located in the heart of downtown Dallas. Great place for families, pets (dogs of course), and just to people watch. It is located right across the street from the Nasher Sculpture Garden and Dallas Museum of Art. It is relatively new and has an interesting architectural history as it was literally built out of thin air over an active free. Essentially they found a way to construct a roof over a highway effectively creating a tunnel for the road below and a new park above. A very creative way to create a green space out of nothing!! It has some of the best selection of Food Trucks I have ever experienced. Occasionally there is live music and a great playground for the kids!

Classic Dallas stuffy Steak House. Very pricy but best steakhouse in Dallas. It is definitely an experience and you will mingle with the uppercrust of Dallas society. Has a great bar inside but very low key. It is not too far from our townhouse. Probably about 5 minutes from our house.

This is also a good choice for prepared take away food. It is about 5 minutes away via car or Uber. Very high end prepared take-away selection. Best salads and deserts in Dallas. They also have everything else to support your meal : drinks, wine, beer, bread, deserts, etc. Has parking onsite in front and if that lot is full, there is plenty around in back of Eatzis.

"THE" Best BBQ in Dallas. Best part is that it is the closest BEST BBQ to our townhouse. I personally just visited them this week and am convinced of their rating! Their moist brisket is AWESOME and supposedly their Fried Chicken has been voted best in Dallas. You also have to try their cornbread pudding! Definitely a must and about a 10 minute drive from our town house. Tell the that AirBnB sent you!! P.S. They are ONLY open from 11:00am to 3:00pm (Lunch time). It is just to the west of the Downtown Dallas CBD (central business district). Be sure to lock your car and take any valuables with you... Once you are inside, it is delightful! ;-)

Prepared foods to go. Very good quality and variety. Very close to our town house and great if you are not in the mood to go to a proper restaurant and want to bring home something tasty to your AirBnB. About a 3-4 min drive. You could walk there but would be about 15 mins each way.

Famous old *classic* Dallas Italian restaurant. Great pricing and actually really good Italian fare. I love the crab fingers and Veal Picatta. They are also famous for their pizza.

Another good spot for breakfast. Very quaint location. Kid friendly, but expect a decent size line / wait as it is extremely popular all the time. Good for breakfast or brunch. Take an Uber, but Valet parking is available. Self parking is almost non-existent plus traffic is challenging near the restaurant. It is probably only 5 mins away, but you could walk if you are up for a 20-25 minute walk.

Mutts Canine Cantina is a dog friendly uptown Dallas restaurant and dog park that lets you enjoy all your favorite things, in one great place - good friends, great food and drinks, a fun outdoor environment, and of course, your mutt. This is a place where dogs can run, exercise and play in the fresh air - and dog owners can relax and socialize, while spending time with their pets. So bring your best friend and your appetite and come out to play. The only weird part is that you have to get a "Day Pass" membership for your canine. Non-members pay a fee per visit for use of the park. Their website states that it is only $5.95 for a "Day Pass". Seems pretty reasonable. Have not been there yet and would love any feedback if any of you airbnbers go! ;-)

This is one of my personal favorites for Mexican fast food. Everything is great, cheap, and quick. Much better in my humble opinion than Taco Bell. It is a chain, but a very good quality and consistent chain. My favorite item on the menu is the *Barbacoa Tacos* (street tacos). The enchilada platters (beef or chicken) are really good too and comes with very tasty rice and beans. They also make all of their tortillas fresh onsite!! Very tasty!! Again, relatively close to our town house... within a 5 minute drive. It is also across from la Madeleine. They are open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Drinks & Nightlife

Our personal favorite watering hole. Best selection of beers and ciders on tap or in bottles in Dallas. Just beer and wine no hard alcohol as far as I know. They also serve some level of pub grub (food). It is a very quaint English-style pub... has dart boards and outside tables for a unique community social experience! It also has a very charming interior (upstairs and downstairs) that is warm and cozy. I think they allow dogs... or at least they did. And occasionally they have live music outside in the back.

This is the coolest grocery store in Dallas. It is about 4 miles from the town house. Highly recommend driving. It is about 10 minutes by car or Uber. It has a fantastic selection of EVERYTHING! It is relatively high end, but provides a great experience and adventure. The take-away prepared food is AWESOME and an amazing selection!! They also have an amazing selection of fruit, fruit juices, seafood, steaks, olives, wine and cheese. If you are looking for good eats and do not feel like going to a restaurant or cooking, this is THE best alternative of them all! I personally like their prepared Spaghetti and Meatballs! Yum!
