TJ’s Seafood Market

There are few seafood markets in Dallas as good as TJ’s. So go ahead and ogle the counter cases, with their beautiful and impeccably sourced cuts of fish, scallops, crab, lobster and more.

Top Golf

Golf and getting drunk go hand in hand (at least, if you’re not on the PGA Tour), and the creators of Top Golf clearly had that synergy in mind when they created this amusement center for Tiger wannabes. Rain or shine, couples congregate at this two-level driving range to whack a few balls — which […]

Torchy’s Tacos

Rather, it’s the chandelier of restaurants in the middle of the bedazzled city, over the top in almost every way (even the bathrooms are amazing). From the […]

Tradewinds Social Club

In Oak Cliff lives a little dive bar that doesn’t take itself too seriously. With one pool table, a small bar and a short wooden deck out back, Tradewinds is a neighborhood bar full of regulars who argue that Oak Cliff will soon be as safe as Uptown. Some nights the bar will serve up […]

Tramontana

It’s not easy getting into Tramontana at the lunch and dinner hour. Not because the place is super-exclusive but because its location in Preston Center is just west of traffic hell. But once you’re inside with a glass of peach tea in front of you and the daily special on the way, you’ll be glad […]
