Guidebook for Dallas
Drinks & Nightlife
Great bar to get any type of drinks at. Ask them for "the strawberry basil thing". They are very strict about not letting the place become overcrowded - it's comfortable even on the weekends.

A really nice, new park built over top of the highway. There is designated food truck parking around the outside, and there's always some event in the park.

Another good activity within walking distance. There's usually a new exhibition every few weeks, along with the regular ones they keep year round. $12 if you're a student, $14 if not.

Arts & Culture
Probably on the edge of "comfortably walkable", but worth the trip. They play indie movies and big titles. It's in the same area as an outdoor shopping center with a GAP, Jcrew, Club Monaco, etc.

It's in one of the coolest looking buildings in Dallas. There are a lot of interesting rotating exhibits, and the tickets are pretty reasonable at $17 per person.
