This is an excellent spot for those who can't decide what they want. It's a business, but it's in a house. It's a bookstore, but it's also a coffee shop, but it's also a bar with excellent cocktails. It's nice and quiet with Wifi, but they also have live music and plays on the weekends. Well worth a visit!

Dallas in a nutshell. Big, shiny, fun, and Texan (and a little pricey). There is always live music, good food, an open patio, and big, local beers on tap. Weekends feature an excellent family style brunch.

This place is excellent morning, noon, and night, but move fast and get there early or you'll have to wait! I recommend the frose if you're drinking, the salmon bagel if you're eating breakfast, and the Reuben if you're a hungry, hungry hippo :)

El Tapicoso Taqueria & Mas

My absolute favorite spot in Bishop Arts. It's technically French food, but I swear I have dreams about their oysters and the chicken paillard. A little pricey. You'll want to make reservations unless you want to belly up to the bar.

My favorite hiking trail loop in North Texas! A short 20 minute drive away where you can opt in to the 4 mile, 8 mile, or 16 mile loop. Rolling hills with a view of the lake. So peaceful! Note: this trail is shared with bikers, so stay alert!

Hands down, the best mall in Texas. Stop at La Duni for Argentinean fare, cocktails, and pastries! Shop at Nordstroms and Neimans if you have some $$$! Both have excellent bars and restaurants inside them if you want great service in a swanky atmosphere. If you're looking for something more affordable, take a spin through Zara and H&M. There is always an excellent mix of art installations, live music, designers, and affordable shops inside (as well as amazing people watching!).
