I am going to visit family during Christmas and New Year's Eve in Dallas - I've never been there before and figure that I'll have a lot of time on my own. Any ideas what places I should definitely check out? I'd like to go to El Fenix (famous restaurant) and I am going to see the Dallas Mavericks play, but other than that, my itinerary is still blank.

I'd appreciate any ideas and suggestions. Thanks.

Isn't the TL server in Dallas? Or am I making a mistake?

Well something connects to a place in Texas starting with D.

You could go to Reunion Tower (big ball tower) the restaurant there, it's pretty damn expensive though at $50-$100 an entree. You could also try and get tickets to see the Dallas Cowboys play football at that new stadium with the gigantic TV screen. They're playing Philadelphia on January 3rd. I'm sure there are some locals from Dallas/Fort Worth/ Arlington here who could give you some ideas.

You should go hug the teamliquid server and take a picture.

Dallas has some good shopping areas around due to the realtively wealthy residents. Is there a specific area in Dallas? The night life is pretty good. The "House of Blues" is there, you can probably catch a quick concert or something.

I suggest Little Elm if you like clubs and shit, stay away from south dallas dallas,south east dallas, south west dallas, east and west dallas lol. (I live in south west Dallas, only come if you're looking for crack, srsly.)

Really, the only place you're going to be safe is the Northern suburbs. There is really not much to do down town exept maybe look at the holocaust museum.

Everything else you would probably want to look into in the suburb of Plano, its a REALLY rich area with lots of shopping places. There are a lot of good restaurants up town too.

I'm a local here for 9 years and you can ask me anything, just give me a PM :D

Yayy Dallas. If you want, you can go to the sixth floor museum downtown. It talks about the JFK assassination and is pretty cool.I'd really recommend going there. There is also a holocaust museum that is interesting if that interests you.

There are 3 big malls near me. North Park Mall is nice. It's near I 75 and on Park Lane. Valley View Mall is on LBJ. Also the Galleria is a little further away. Google the malls if you want to get directions.

Dallas Stars games are cheap and pretty fun, I'm going to one in 3 hours. I don't even watch hockey much, but it's fun to go to those games.

Also lol at the El Fenix restaurant. I didn't know it was famous. My family has eaten at El Fenix every Friday since I was like 6. I've had almost the whole menu there, everything is pretty good.

Try to stick to the north parts of Dallas and downtown. I'm guessing your family probably lives in the Park Cities area.

Neiman Marcus is also a pretty famous clothing shop downtown, but it's expensive.

Merry Christmas
Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crown and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness.

Colin Creek, Valley View, and Northpark mall are good places to visit. And considering this is a Starcraft progaming related website, you might want to visit some Korean markets and/or Korean restaurants.

If you can, you might want to go to different cities in TX such as the LBJ Space Center in Houston, the Alamo in San Antonio, or the new Dallas Cowboys stadium in Arlington (Yeah... a Dallas team's stadium located in Arlington... -_-). There's also the Rangers ballpark and Six Flags in Arlington, so it's definitely worth visiting.

And I'm pretty sure Louder lives in Texas... ;D
