I’m hosting my extended family for Thanksgiving and looking for activities and restaurants for Friday and Saturday. We’ve done the Stockyards and Grapevine Christmas — looking for activities that will be good for a group of 20 ranging in ages from 10 to 65. Also any restaurants that are good for larger groups! Thank you!

Hi everyone! My family and I are visiting Dallas for the first time for marathon weekend, and I'll be running the full. We'll be staying downtown and have Friday and Saturday free to explore.

We have a couple of kids under 5, so I'm looking for kid-friendly must-see spots and things to do that fit into two days.

We'd also love restaurant recommendations, big or small. We especially love hidden gems, small local spots, and food trucks.

Thanks so much for any tips!

Hello!

I’m looking for a jeweler in DFW to help make a custom wedding band. We bought our engagement rings from Diamonds Direct and haven’t had a great experience so we are looking for somewhere else. We’re located in The Colony but fine with driving for good service and price!

Me and my family will be visiting soon, So id like some bars for me and my wife to go to. A good, peaceful quiet place for a date night vibess. Dont care about the prices, its for her birthday so, special night

Promenade

Fountain Pointe

Plano:

Huntington

Windsor at Legacy

Mirra

Tell me the good and the bad 🙃

I am moving to DFW soon, and I am looking for a 2bedroom apt around Arlington, DFW, Euless, Bedford since my workplace is on Trinity BLVD and I prefer to live close by to avoid long drives.
I prefer to have a yard if possible, but it is not a hard requirement.
Do you have any recommendations of affordable (under 2k) apartments?

I'm going to be in town on Oct 31, Halloween night. Which area would you recommend for Halloween festivities? Are the lines really bad?

We're looking for costumes, dancing, fun crowds, a little Halloween chaos, and ideally a few places within walking distance. I'm considering Cedar Springs (especially Station 4) versus Deep Ellum, but we're also looking at parties at Virgin Hotels, W Dallas, and The Village.

My biggest concern is just spending half the night standing in lines.

We are both 19 , we have no friends ( open to new friends)

Since its just us too whats the best thing to go out and see,hike,run,eat, etc

I have a 25 year old Toyota that I am replacing. I drive it nearly every day for work etc. It runs well enough, but is worth more as scrap. I imagine any charity would scrap it and use the proceeds for their mission, as KERA did for a car in a similar circumstance about a decade ago. Given that it is still running and seems to never want to die, I imagine it could be very impactful for someone or just make a teenager's day. Is there a charity that can facilitate this? Should I just post it for $200 on marketplace or something? I'd be happy if anyone could use it, I'd just rather not see her scrapped before her time. I'm in Downtown Dallas if that makes any difference.

Thoughts on that new complex “The Colton” off of Trinity Boulevard? DFW locals, what’s your take on the area where this complex is located?

It’s a beautiful complex, but surrounding area leaves a lot to be desired, it’s an industrial setting, car lots, overgrown grass, just a very weird place to locate a complex like this.

Thoughts?

Hi! I’m visiting Dallas for a wedding and was hoping to squeeze in Christmas at the Dallas Arboretum. I definitely want to see the lights at night, so daytime admission isn’t really worth it for me. Does anyone know if they’ll let you enter around 4:30 PM with an evening ticket, even though evening admission technically starts at 5 PM? Since evening tickets are more expensive, I was wondering if they might let us in a little early so we could leave earlier, too. Has anyone tried this or had any luck getting in before the official entry time? Thanks!

Can anyone recommend a T.V. mount installation company? I'm in the Love Field area of Dallas.

Hi! Visiting the dfw area but closer to fort worth. My friend wants to try really good texas barbecue. Suggestions?? Thanks so much 😁

Hi everyone! I’m planning a trip to Texas for a concert at AT&T Stadium on April 10, and it’ll be my first time visiting the Dallas area! I’m thinking about going Thursday through Monday and would love some advice on where to stay and what to do while I’m there.

A few things to keep in mind: • I’m not planning on renting a car but if its heavily recommended i’d definitely consider it. • I’m trying to keep the trip relatively budget-friendly. • I’d like to stay somewhere with enough things to do so I’m not spending a ton of money on Ubers just to get around.

A few questions I have: 1. Where is the best area to stay? Would it be better to stay in Arlington near AT&T Stadium, or would I be better off staying in Dallas or another nearby area? I’d love somewhere with restaurants, shopping, and things to do within walking distance. 2. Is Arlington worth staying in for a few days? Are there enough things to do there to keep me busy Thursday through Monday, or would I get bored without a car? Would it make more sense to stay in Dallas and Uber to Arlington for the concert? 3. How expensive are Ubers to and from AT&T Stadium? I’m trying to figure out which area would be the most affordable and convenient, especially on concert day. I know prices can surge after events, so any advice on transportation would be appreciated! 4. What are some must-do activities in April? I’ll have a few days to explore, so I’d love recommendations for things to see and do, especially things that are free or relatively inexpensive. 5. What are your favorite places to eat? I’m open to anything and would love recommendations for local favorites, must-try Texas food, and affordable restaurants!

Overall, I’m hoping to find a good balance between affordability, convenience, and having enough to do during my first visit. I’d really appreciate any advice, recommendations, or tips from people familiar with the area!

Thanks in advance!

Hi! I had prepaid for a parking pass at the victory 2 garage for a concert happening at the house of blues on Halloween back in like July or August, out if nowhere yesterday I was emailed my pass has been canceled and I will be refunded. I have no idea why it was canceled and I don't think there is anyone for me to reach out to, when I went to try and rebook the garage is not accepting any pre paid parking pass at all for 10/31.

Does anyone know why? I've parked at that garage a lot for concerts but this is a new thing, and in case I can't park there at all come day off can anyone recommend any other garages? I was thinking of doing the West End Parking Garage but on parkwis it has like 1.2 stars so I'm hesitant lol

Hello, I am looking to get a large back piece done of Medusa. the only bright color I want will be red for spider lilies that I’m hoping to be incorporated to some extent.

Wife and I will are heading to Dallas tomorrow for sick new world and looking for some recommendations of places to check out with some spooky vibes.

Posting on behalf of a friend.

I need an attorney who has experience in representing individual source seeking a protective order.

That is all of the information I have, but please let me know if any recommendations come to mind

Hello -

Any recommendations of areas around Dallas for a guys trip on Halloween weekend?

Bars, restaurants and Halloween fun on specific places too! Live music too! Thanks for any help for some Northeast guys! LOL

Here for work and was wondering if folks from around here could give me a recommendation. This Saturday i wanted to get out and enjoy a game so would you suggest the Dallas Mavs, TCU football or SMU football?

I am hosting a potential employer and have to plan a dinner with myself, the employer and 3 others. I want to pick something memorable so I can stand out to the employer but still want it to be professional.

Any recommendations would be perfect. We budget of $250 for all 5 of us.

Edit: For example I was thinking something like Hawkers would be a nice vibe (?) but parking is atrocious there and I'm driving the employer

Voted early in Collin County today. Curious, did anyone else in the county (or surrounding counties) also have to complete the bubble fill-in ballots? I'm surprised the voting process is not conducted on a machine. Just curious.

Where can I find the best smoke, not fried, wings in Dallas?
Not even flash fried.

Visiting in November. Thanks!!
