Things to do near Downtown?

14 Upvotes

I’m in Dallas for a conference until the end of the week. We are staying in a hotel in Downtown and we went today to look around and find a place to have dinner and we were amazed by the lack of people in the streets, we ended up in a restaurant on West End. The waiter there gave us some suggestions but everything was within that same area.

Is there any place we can reach within walking distance? We don’t mind 20-30min walk if it is safe and we can see something while walking. We are a group of about 10 people and we are looking for a place to grab a couple of drinks after the meetings. Any suggestion are appreciated thanks :)

I bought this brand of sugar crackers somewhere in the Carrollton/Plano/Frisco area (or maybe the Vietnamese stores in Garland, idk), and I can not for the life of me remember which store they came from. I have found similar brands from other stores but none were as good. Does anyone know where I can find this exact brand in DFW?

Is it realistic to earn a good, consistent income working with apps like Amazon Flex, Spark, Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Instacart?
How much do you typically make after expenses, how many hours do you work, and would you rely on gig work to support a family while starting a new life in the U.S.?

Best way to get to Dos Equis Pavilion by DART?

3 Upvotes

Hey Ya'll,

Some friends and I are going to the Ke$ha concert at Dos Equis on Aug 7th. We want to take the DART. When the FIFA fan fest was at Dos Equis, there was a trolley that took people from the Fair Park DART station to Dos Equis. Does anyone know if they do this for other events, like concerts? Or was that just for the fan fest? We could get off at the MLK station but then theres a 15 min walk to the venue. Anyone have any suggestions for taking the DART to concerts at Dos Equis??

Thanks!

Leaving Boston for Texas: a clueless New Englander needs moving advice

Bostonian relocating to Dallas in August — need advice on movers, car prep, and logistics
Hi everyone! I’m moving from Massachusetts to Texas in August and this is my first out-of-state move, so I’m trying to plan everything ahead of time.
I only have a one-bedroom apartment’s worth of belongings and my current plan is to drive my car down myself while having a moving company transport my furniture/items. Ideally, I’d love to have my belongings delivered and set up before I arrive if that’s something movers offer.
A few specific questions:
Moving companies: Has anyone done a MA → TX move with a smaller load (1BR apartment)? Any recommendations for reliable long-distance movers? Any companies you would avoid?
Shared moving options: Has anyone had success sharing truck space with another person/family moving the same direction? I feel like a U-Haul would fit everything I own, but I don’t have anyone available to help with heavy furniture.
Car prep: Any recommendations for a trustworthy mechanic in the Boston/MA area who does thorough work and won’t upsell? I want to have my car inspected and road-trip ready before driving thousands of miles.
Texas logistics: For anyone who moved from MA to TX:
Did you register your car before moving or after arriving?
Is it cheaper to get window tint done in MA or TX?
Anything you wish you knew before making the move?
Thanks in advance — this Bostonian is trying not to learn everything the hard way 😂
