Julian Barsotti’s third and newest Italian restaurant, Sprezza, does a poor job acting like it just rolled out of bed. Evidence is everywhere of the great care invested in every detail, from the light fixtures to the wine list, from the serving dishes to, ironically, the restaurant’s name. But in a short time, Sprezza is […]
The popularity of cupcakes seems not to wane however much another handheld dessert is claimed to supplant it. Chief among cupcake flavors is red velvet. The same is true at Sprinkles, a cupcake concern that came fresh out of the oven in Beverly Hills, quickly becoming a favorite of the Hollywood glitterati. The red velvet […]
Dallas store director Michael Caufield oversees one of three Texas locations belonging to the Sunflower Farmers Market chain, a less-pricey alternative to Whole Foods and Central Market. The mission is much the same: to provide consumers with natural and organic foods for a healthier, more environmentally conscious lifestyle. The produce is fresh. Bulk options can […]
Dining at St. Martin’s Wine Bistro is not so much like dining on Greenville Avenue as it is dining in some kind of surreal, David Lynch-esque dream sequence. Not because they meant it to be that way. The Victorian decor is, somehow, tastefully overdone, and the lighting is so low you might wonder what’s on […]

This Deep Ellum landmark has held steady as the scene around it ebbs and flows for more than 20 years now. St. Pete’s straddles the line between a restaurant with a reliably high-caliber kitchen and a bar where anyone can grab a stool and a beer. At the end of the day, every neighborhood needs […]
Ben Spies of MotoGP bike racing is part owner of Stackhouse Burgers, and at times can be found having a burger at the bar. The restaurant’s other owner, Randy Kienast, is a local homebuilder who completely renovated the old house into a burger joint. Stackhouse burgers are made with a blend of brisket and chuck […]
Stephan Pyles’ latest restaurant gives Dallas an over-the-top food experience that is ready for the big time. Tricked out with more Texas kitsch than a roadside bazaar, the dining room screams Lone Star State from the ceiling to the floor. Quirky d
Sports, sports and more sports await you at Stan’s Blue Note. This little Lower Greenville dive bar is a great place to catch football, hockey, basketball and any other sporting event you can imagine.

The bagels here are made in small batches using a 24-hour fermentation process that helps the development of complex gluten, a key to getting that good bagel chew. The bagels are then boiled prior to baking and served up from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. or until they run out. And they do run out. […]
Wraps, smoothies and other healthful meals are available all over Dallas, but until Start opened on upper Greenville Avenue, you had to get out of your car to get them. This new “real food fast” concept pairs scratch cooking with convenience in a way that lets you pound a burger quickly without feeling guilty. The […]
One of the most friendly bars in uptown is State & Allen Lounge. The selling point of the lively hangout is its extensive wraparound patio, perfect for sipping fine wines and people-watching. One side of the bar features a bistro-style interior, with wall-to-wall wine and aged bourbon selections, while the other boasts several tables and […]
Three million visitors flock to Fair Park every year to take in the sights and sounds of the legendary State Fair of Texas. Kicking off the last Friday in September and lasting for 24 days, the fair, which has been a Texas tradition since 1886, features such wonders as an auto show, a gondola called […]

The king (or queen?) of dance clubs, this hook-up-friendly outpost in Oak Lawn has the hottest beats and the hottest bodies. Questionable fashion choices abound (no one can really pull off vinyl short-shorts), but it’s still the best environment for getting sweaty and heady while a DJ drops the needle.
We can admit when we’re wrong. (It’s easy after so much practice.) So we confess we had doubts the Statler Hotel, built in 1956, would ever come back to life. We had watched it sit vacant in a neglected corner of downtown for nearly two decades. But it’s amazing what people with vision, dedication and […]
