Texas Discovery Gardens

The two-story conservatory with tropical plants, plus outdoor demonstration gardens of native and adapted trees and flowers, year-round exhibits on butterflies, bugs and botany in the historic Art Deco building.

Thai Opal

Try the chicken satay, a tender, curry-marinated chicken strips on skewers served with a rich but not overpowering peanut sauce on the side. We also like the glass noodle curry, a bed of long, skinny translucent noodles sauced in curry with bean sprouts, onions, egg and beef. On their own, these noodles have a neutral […]

Thai Thai Restaurant

The blue awning beckons customers to enjoy not just classic Thai dishes like the popular tom yum soup and house specialties like the spicy duck with red curry and fragrant jasmine rice, it also calls diners to order pan-Asian delights. Among them are listed gyoza dumplings and a teriyaki platter. Thai Thai is best known […]

Thunderbird Pies

Thunderbird’s specialty is Detroit-style pies, straight out of a seasoned 10-by-14-inch steel pan, with almost-burnt cheese crust edges, loaded with Wisconsin brick cheese, toppings and, always, sauce on the top. If such delicious pizza weren’t enough, Jay Jerrier, Thunderbird owner, also put a Cow Tipping Creamery inside of Thunderbird’s East Dallas location for the scrumptious […]

Tietze Park

Serene and green with plenty of shady trees, this Lakewood park boasts an impressive array of amenities, including a playground, picnic tables, a basketball court and a softball field that both host plenty of league games, and lots of wide open spaces to play Frisbee with your dog. On those most scorching of summer days […]

And, like the sweet smell, the décor in the winery’s tasting room and lounge area is homey and inviting, with the warm hues, vaulted ceilings, lots of cushy seating and candles lit throughout. But don’t be surprised to […]

Tin Star

Specialty tacos are nothing novel, but that hasn’t stopped restaurant chains from going over the top. Tin Star Taco Bar is a perfect example. The restaurant is the home of the cheeseburger taco. Naturally, innovation never rests. The cheeseburger taco (served with cheddar, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickle relish bacon and yellow mustard) is […]

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 […]

Truck Yard

Off the beaten path off Lowest Greenville is a favorite lunch and drink spot for Dallasites that really just wants the city to kick back and relax. The Truck Yard’s food menu is short: Philly cheesesteak, sandwich and/or nachos. But what more do you really need to eat at a bar with so much space […]
