FOOD & DRINK
SHIP'S LOUNGE
1613 N Greenville Avenue - Dallas - 214-823-0315

A bit of the beach and cold beer in the center of Dallas. Make sure you wear your Hawaiian shirt!

CLUB DADA
2720 Elm Streeet - Dallas - 214-744-3232

Great club for live music. Saturday is the best night, but actually, all nights are good here. Make sure to hang out on the patio- it rocks!

MERCADO JUAREZ
1901 W Northwest Highway - Dallas - 214-556-0796

This is the probably the best Tex-Mex resaurant in the world. I don't say that lightly. Large portions, mesquite cooked everything.The unique hot (warmed) salsa is mild but one of the most flavorful I have EVER had. The Juarez Special is one of the best combo plates anywhere. EVERYTHING is great, and the atmoshpere is like that of a big Mexican market-hence the name. It's a $20.00 taxi ride from downtown Dallas, but well worth it. I cannot say enough about this restaurant!

DADDY JACK'S LOBSTER & CHOWDER HOUSE
1916 Greenville Avenue - Dallas - 214-826-4910

The best seafood in Dallas. Have the Surf & Turf, and make sure to try the lobster bisque. I know, seafood in Dallas? But hey, it's outstanding

SMOKEY JOHN'S DEPOT
1820 W Mockingbird Lane - Dallas - 214-352-2752

Some of the best barbecue in a train-themed atmosphere. Try the chicken & dumplings!

AL BIERNAT'S
4217 Oak Lawn Avenue - Dallas - 214-219-2201

The best steak in Dallas, without a doubt. Have the lobster as well. And the "smashed potatoes" are scrumptious. Al Biernat himself will greet you and make sure that you enjoy your meal.
