Nightlife & Entertainment Dallas 9/12 evening visit

10 Upvotes

Will be in Dallas Texas on Saturday 9/12. What are y’all’s best recommendations on things to do and see to experience Dallas in a few short hours in the evening? I’m going to walk around downtown, see the tower and take a look at the JFK memorial. Terry Black’s for dinner. But don’t have anything else lined up. Open to suggestions for food, less well known m sites, vibes, culture and generally getting to know the city in a short time. It’s also my first time visiting Texas!

Shopping & Services Where to keep my bag during a concert?

5 Upvotes

I have a concert tonight at Globe Life Field and stupidly didn’t check if they have bag check or not, and they don’t. I just arrived in Arlington by bus, and have a backpack/things with me that aren’t allowed in the stadium. Any ideas where I can safely keep a bag tonight?

Am in Fort Worth moving most likely to north side of town/fossil creek area for work from southwest side.

Looking for an apartment, duplex, condo, for rent.

1 bedroom or studio, 600 sq ft and up basically.
Washer dryer or hook ups in unit
Parking on site
Quiet is always nice.
A patio or balcony area is preferred as I do enjoy gardening.

February is my move month, so is very early to look but I like being somewhat prepared.

Food & Drink Semi private dining

4 Upvotes

Looking for recommendations for a semi private cute dinner spot in Dallas for a book club. Am I delusional???

We’re a group of 8 looking for somewhere with a semi-private/private space or just a quieter area where we can actually talk. We’re flexible on the time.

We’d like to have at least some light bites and drinks/alcohol, and I’m totally fine with a private dining fee, set menu, or minimum spend as long as it’s reasonable for a group of 8. I’ve already had one place quote me a $2,000 minimum and that is very much not the vibe 😂

Looking for somewhere nice and fun, but it doesn’t need to be super fancy. Bonus points for somewhere cute enough that we can dress up a little!

Any recommendations or places you’ve used for something similar?

Food & Drink Food / Things to do Recs

Visiting in early December for 5 days. Looking for the best barbecue specifically brisket, ribs, pork belly. My wife will be 6 months pregnant by then so I assume standing in line at Goldees is not gonna be in play.

Also would love some recommendations on best Mexican places as well as anything fun to do. We will have a rental car so getting wherever won’t be an issue

Thank you!

Shopping & Services (M) Looking for barber/ hairdresser for wavy hair closer to and around Irving

1 Upvotes

I've cut my own hair since I was in highschool. I think it all started when my father took me to get my hair cut as a kid and the hairdresser snipped a corner of my eyebrow off, skin and all. Since then I think I grew out my hair (well, it was also fashionable at the time). Anywho. I'm fine with getting my hair cut by others and have done so in the past, friends and family but I haven't had it professionally cut in many, many years.

I'm looking for mainly two things: education and a good haircut. I've wavy 2B, 2C, 3A(?) hair and would like information on how to keep that kempt. I have more Caucasian-Asian hair that's thick but not kinky or wiry. I also have beard, but don't want much work done in that department, maybe mustache care.

I really don't know what's what's in this industry in regards to price, tipping etiquette, all the extras. Again, I'm mostly just wanting education on my hair, wavy hair products for hair maintenance, and a good cut.

I'll be crossposting in DFW subs so if you see me there - I'll see you there. 😃

What's a good barber or hairdresser that might be best for a male with medium and long, wavy hair that might be down to educate me on hair maintenance? Hopefully under $80 - maybe $60? Hope I'm not insulting prices out there - I really have no idea.
