Dallas is my city! I’ve lived here for over 6 years and call this place home, so I’ve been pretty excited to share some of the top things to do in Dallas Texas as part of my Texas Travel Series. Dallas is full of culture, some of the best food, and plenty of opportunities to indulge! Things to Do in Dallas – But First Coffee Honestly choosing just one coffee shop in Dallas is just about the hardest thing there is! Dallas has so many good coffee shops, but I love Magnolia Se Le Pont because of how cute it is with its teal walls and French ambiance! Plus, their coffee is amazing! I love getting their Magnolia latte with elder flower, lavender, and rose!

Either way I think it’s amazing! Basically you do yoga except cute baby goats run around and on top of you. I admittedly didn’t do much yoga, but I got lots of goat love. Plus you can feel good while doing goat yoga because at Happy Goat Yoga, the proceeds go to the charity Here’s Your Reminder. Things to Do in Dallas – Catch a Live Performance One of my favorite things about Dallas is that there are so many good performances going on at all times! At the AT&T Performing Arts Center there are always amazing theatrical and dance performances. Dallas regularly gets major Broadway shows such as Wicked and Hairspray. However, some of my favorites are the lesser-known shows. Some of the shows that I’m looking forward to including Dance Africa, the Flying Dutchman Opera, the Aspen ballet, a contemporary dance performance called Aladdin, and Carmen. Some previous shows that I’ve loved include the mysterious Black Rabbit, White Rabbit Harry Potter, and Peter and the Star Catcher (probably my favorite show of all time!) I could go on and on about different shows going on, but all you have to do is head over to their list of performances to see what exciting show is coming next!

Another place I love to go to see amazing shows is the Dallas Symphony! I used to think of symphonies as boring and stuffy, but the Dallas Symphony is always running such unique shows. They did a symphony rock show, and they regularly have this event called Remix which is perfect for anyone looking for a budget friendly date idea. Tickets are affordable and include dinner, drinks, and a show! Whether you are a major classic music lover or like something a little more alternative, the Dallas Symphony has something for everyone! Things to Do in Dallas Texas – The Neighborhoods Dallas has so many different neighborhoods with different vibrance and energy! If you have time I recommend hitting up all of them for different fun shops, art, and food. However, if you only have a little bit of time I’ve shared some of my favorites! Highland Park Village I love Highland Park Village for a curated shopping experience and Moroccan decor. Walking through Highland Park Village is like walking through a Mediterranean country in some ways with the architecture and decor. There are a lot of quality boutiques here including one of my favorites: Trina Turk. Some of my other favorite places to visit here include Goop for fun items, Royal Blue Grocery for delicious food products, Village Theatre for movies, and Bird Bakery for the cutest baked goods. Shopping includes Valentino, Alice + Olivia, and Lela Rose. If you’re looking for some good dining options check out Honor Bar, Bistro 31, and Cafe Pacific. West Village West Village can be a full day’s itinerary of its own. First start out with brunch at Public School 214. Then take the free historic trolley to the Dallas Museum of Art. Although the trolley goes past West Village it’s fun to see Dallas and make a stop at the art museum for art around the world. Afterwards hop back on the trolley and head over to Spa Habitat for a farm to spa experience. Indulge in a sweet treat at Bisous Bisous Patisserie. Look around some of the shops and cute boutiques (make sure to stop by ones of my favorites: Y & I Boutique) and grab some flowers at the pop-up flower truck! Deep Ellum Deep Ellum is one of the funkiest neighborhoods in Dallas known for is murals, live music, and night scene. Bring your camera and take fun pictures in front of any of the number of murals, go bar hopping and discover lots of talent, and eat some great food. Whenever I’m in Deep Ellum some of my favorite spots to eat include Hungarian food at Armoury DE, BBQ at Pecan Lodge, and boozy popsicles at Picole Pops (try the Bourbon Vanilla). You really can’t go wrong with any music venue, but Deep Ellum also has a speakeasy/candy shop called Truth & Alibi for something unique. Things to Do in Dallas Texas – Events Dallas is constantly hosting the best events! When coming for a weekend, there is guaranteed to be at least 3+ events going on at the same time! You could come to Dallas every weekend just for a fun event! My tip to finding events is to go to Facebook and see what’s going on that weekend. Some of my favorite regularly occurring events include those held by Dallas Fitness Ambassadors. You can read about some of my favorite annual events here. Things to Do in Dallas Texas – Reunion Tower One of the things that I always tell people they have to splurge on is going to the Reunion Tower. Skip the observation deck and head toRead More »
