Greg’s 5-star review: Probably one of the coolest and least visited things in all of Dallas! This was built for the Texas Exposition and is basically a grand homage to Texas. The building tells the story of Texas history from vast spaces to the Texas Revolution. Their is usually just one person on duty ask the person to show you around you might get a good one that will give you the history. Otherwise got to the website listed and print out the descriptions for the rooms... http://www.hallofstate.com/tour/tour_map.htm Some day Dallas will realize what a gem this is and sink a little money into it so that people can more easily enjoy it... until then you have to work at it a little to get the full bang from it... but perhaps that just makes you enjoy it more. While you are here explore all the other buildings in Fair Park -- the largest collection of Exposition Art Deco buildings in the world -- Newly installed signs around the campus tell the history of the buildings Park also home to Dallas Children's Aquarium -- Recently re-done great exhibits allow you to see sharks and touch sting rays Dallas Garden --- cool indoor butterfly exhibit with butterfly s from all over the world If you can plan to be in town for the State Fair that is when you really see this place come to life.

Greg’s 4-star review: This is a step back in time with a twist! This is not to be missed on any trip to Dallas! Great food you would expect from a Diner like this... service was spot on and great people watching to boot. Burger is good not the best in town but fills you up. Breakfast burrito Was really good as are the hashbrowns It is busy on Saturday and Sunday morning but they move quite fast and have you in and out quickly. -
Greg’s 4-star review: Great place to visit. All indoors so good for bad weather days. -
Greg’s 4-star review: Great Place I highly recommend it. Great food in Glen Rose as well as some good antique shopping in the downtown. Also you can mark another great old county court house off your list. -
Greg’s 5-star review: Wow went to the zoo last weekend first time since the new part opened up... man it is great! Also saw the new bird show... was able to pet the giraffes and the Elephants and Lions were cool as well. The new design really lets you get close and is a very natural setting so the animals are more active. -
Greg’s 4-star review: Great connection from AAC/W hotel in Victory all the way up to Knox Henderson where you can shop --- get something eat/drink Also access to the Dallas theater center and Turtle Creek park and trails -
Greg’s 4-star review: This is in an industrial part of Dallas and can be hard to find but it is right behind the Hilton Anatole. The wine is awesome. and they use all Texas grapes. Great thing to do while in town. and not far from all the Dragon street art gallery's. I understand great restaurants across the country and stocking their wine and now they have a tasting room open. -
Greg’s 3-star review: Great Nature Trail not far from Cedar Hill State Park with even more hiking and Biking trails... Also not far from Downtown Dallas -
Greg’s 4-star review: Great Burger and a great Texas experience this is the kind of place that existed everywhere and is hardly even found in small towns anymore. I highly recomend going in a pick-up truck in the late afternoon... you can put your tail-gate down and pop open a bear and eat your burger and watch the world go by. -
Greg’s 4-star review: Originally conceived as Dallas's version of Central Park. The Baseball stadium is historic and hosted two major league teams in the 1970s as an exhibition. Mr. Reverchon was a Botanist and donated the initial bit of land to the city for a park. It has a covered playground that is accessible to handicapped children. Cool stone trail on the hill done by the WPA needs lots of work but very cool. Do the Katy trail as part of your visit.... you can walk down to Knox street and visit the restaurants and shops. -
Greg’s 4-star review: This is a well known destination in dallas. don't think i can add much to what is said other then to say... it really is a great market... it also has a restaurant. -
Greg’s 4-star review: Great Free non collecting museum. The Dallas Center for Contemporary Art (a.k.a. The Dallas Contemporary) is an indispensable part of the present-day Texas art scene. Twenty yearly exhibitions at this welcoming, dynamic space highlight up-and-coming, ethnically diverse Texas artists. Studio art classes and a resource room for practicing artists make this a functioning creative center and a cutting-edge showcase of new talent. The shows are topical, multicultural and conceptual. As an example, a showing of fireworks corresponded with a national ceramics convention held in Fort Worth, while the monthly Mosaics series always features the work of ethnically diverse artists. There is no charge for admission, but exhibit charges may vary. Also a great size so you can get a little art and not feel overwhelmed. Also this is walking distance to the Latino Cultural center as well as a couple of private galleries. -
Greg’s 4-star review: You don't have to go to Ft. Worth for a real Texas feel. In fact if you want to show someone some real Texas heritage this beats Billy Bobs any day of the week. Great place to hear some real Texas Music. Highly recommend for out of town guests for a real taste of Texas A few other places in walking distance not far from Baylor Hospital in the east part of Deep Ellum. Near a lot of nice loft apartments. -
Greg’s 4-star review: Always a happing place to see and be seen... Also some of the best margaritas in Dallas! I always get Mama's Chicken Con Hongas (Chicken with Mushrooms fajita Style) The rest of their Mexican food is good but not as good as many other places in Dallas. And other then the margaritas the price of their food is not very expensive and they give big portions.

Greg’s 4-star review: Great place to get out and walk/bike lots of trail area -
Greg’s 4-star review: Just saw it was reviewed in the New York Times Has to be the best example of true Tex-Mex food i have found in Dallas. expect lots of cheese on your food :-) Great hang-over cure! This is not hi-end fancy Mexican food--- just good down to earth -- what Mexican food used to be before it went upscale. if you go at night the Bean soup is free with the meal and very good. Salsa is quite hot. Menu is order by number style. and you can bring your on beer in a cooler! consider it an adventure to get back to your Texas roots -- Have fun! -
Greg’s 4-star review: Great place! Good cold beer on tap... Great Bar Tenders... cool music... Great patio in back... Great little neighborhood starting up... good unique places near by to eat and Fair Park is just across the street. This little area is safe lots of loft apartments nearby in spite of what you may have heard about Fair Park. Edit: They just did a little construction on the inside and it only made the place better. they also have live music so check out who is playing. -
Greg’s 4-star review: Great place worth the effort to find... seems kind of barren neighborhood but i have been many times and it is safe... Uniquely Dallas -- Defiantly not pretentious -- Burger is one of the best in Dallas also great Grill Cheese sandwich. Also now carrying Times 10 Wine (from LakeWood) great music and good selection of tap beers. Worth the drive... -
Greg’s 4-star review: Great Place... Great Wine... and they remember you when you come back. Often busy on weekends... great patio. Ask them about their vineyard in the Davis Mountains. Lots of great places to eat in walking distance -
Greg’s 5-star review: Worth the drive every time... great food at a great price... you can spend 30$ on a meal or 12$ -- atmosphere makes you feel like we went somewhere nice and makes you actually want to dress up a little. I highly recommend the following Tomato Bisque Soup (just a cup it is filling) Rack of Lamb or Lamb chops Pulled Pork Catfish Get early and walk around the cool and unique shops in the area they usually stay open late on the weekends -
Greg’s 4-star review: known for pizza but burgers are some of the best in Dallas. They only take Cash and Amex.

Greg’s 5-star review: I got a lifetime's worth of Museum time depleted at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art... it was just too much for me... But even I can enjoy a trip to the Nasher! The exhibits are small and very engaging (even for me -- and i am not art expert) And it gives you a chance to get out side even in the middle of Summer --- much of the museum is inside and very cool then you can walk out under the big nice trees and see the outside art.... and dash back into the air conditioning. -
Greg’s 4-star review: Great bike shop with folks that really know bikes and are also a big part of the growing bike culture in Dallas. They also rent bikes so folks can explore the growing bike trail network in Dallas. Great location too... Right next to Craft and Growler and across from the Fair Park DART Station.
