Thread: Stuff to do in Dallas?

We'll be in Dallas for Super Bowl weekend, and as it's my first time here, I'm looking for some suggestions on what to do and see.

We're flying in Thursday and will be there through Monday morning. We already have tickets for the P.Diddy party on Saturday night, and we'll be at some DirecTV event on Saturday afternoon.

Other than that, our schedule should be pretty open. Any suggestions? (Bars, food, sights, clubs, strip joints, etc)

When you get in, roll straight out of the south entrance of DFW airport and you can visit the brand new Rick's Cabaret gentlemens' club

^ nice hahahah

Dig 4 oil?!..

^ hahah then find the land owner, check if he/she owns the mineral rights....lol

we'll be there also....there's a dane cook show sat night if you're in to that...Deep ellum should be going nuts that weekend, but the big thing is that it'll be damned cold at night....

Restaurants:

Ocean Prime [likely booked] - best steak I've had in dallas - have a filet Oscar and make sure you pick up some sides. They also have a chocolate/peanut butter mousse to die for. If you can't get a dinner rez, try making rez for just dessert. Their creme brulee isn't anything to write home about, but their carrot cake is delicious if you're into that.

Victor Tangos - great upscale late night spot, have the chicken & waffles + tempura green beans, they make a great French 75 and they have a good single malt selection.

Steel - Best chilean sea bass in dallas. Good sushi too, but drinks aren't their specialty.

Coal Vines - less upscale than aforementioned restaurants, but some of the best pizza in dallas. It's also on McKinney, which is where I would suggest you go "out" on the town. There are a ton of great bars in close proximity [walking distance].

Nick & Sam's Grill - Best brunch in Dallas [arguably, a place called Breadwinners is just as good]. Mimosas are fabulous. Will be extremely crowded in the mornings, standing room only.

Village Burger Bar - great place to grab a burger/pannini/salad. they've got amazing gourmet shakes too. Casual. Happening corner in uptown though. Should see some nice cars.

'Fancy' places to avoid: 3 Forks. Fish. I'll have to think of some others.

If you're from Jersey, bring a peacoat or something to keep warm. It's in the 20s today and it's getting worse tomorrow. There's about an inch of ice on some of the roads still.

I'd also suggest getting some Mexican food when in town. Everything is good. Fancy Mexican = Mi Cocina would be the most fun spot. Cheap, quick, family Mexican = El Fenix.

Do you know where you're staying?

go to cool river its a blast

Sledding? Snowball Fight?
