Permanent exhibit examines the lifetime, legacy and assassination of John F. Kennedy, with film footage, interpretive displays and more than 400 photos.
Sky Blossom offers one of the best seats in all of downtown. The rooftop Vietnamese bistro and bar has a spectacular perch in the center of downtown with an open-air dining area offering a bird’s eye view the area. (The sky-high pool at The Joule across the street is a great conversation piece for sure.) […]
It’s the little details that make the cheeseburgers at Sky Rocket stand out from the pack. The sesame buns are so committed, they’ve even got sesame seeds on the bottoms. The beef patties, formed in-house, are given delightfully hard sears on the grill. No matter how many toppings you add – there aren’t many; just […]

Eater recently nominated The Slow Bone for a national award honoring bad restaurant names. (It competed in a category for groan-inducing sexual humor.) Dallas chefs were more complimentary, nominating this low-key barbecue spot as one of the city’s 10 best restaurants in an Observer survey of 75 food industry professionals. That might be exaggerated, but […]
The chain, rooted in Atlanta, is attempting to revolutionize the burger industry with its all-vegan ingredients: meats, cheeses and breads included. The Dallas location marks its first expansion into Texas state limits, and we think it’s worth a visit. If not to get a bite of the food, at least to get a taste of […]
The oldest bar in Dallas, Sons of Hermann Hall on the corner of Elm and Exposition on the outskirts of Deep Ellum has been there since 1910. Still used as a private lodge, the building is now a Texas Historic Landmark. Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, Sons of Hermann Hall is open to the public […]

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 […]
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. […]
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 […]

Destined to be known as that other pizzeria in Deep Ellum, Stonedeck Pizza Pub gives the neighborhood a slice it has never seen before. While Cane Rosso focuses on light, almost wispy Neapolitan pies, Stonedeck offers what they call classic American thin-crust pizza. The description is a mouthful and so are their pizzas. Apart from […]
