Cigarz Bona Pizza

It’s proximity to the YMCA and White Rock Lake, make this a popular post-workout Greek, Italian and Mediterranean munch fest. The Hellenic-style pizzas, with their thicker, chewier crust are available in several specialty variations, like the Greek pizza (garlic and olive oil base, mozzarella, chicken, Kalamata olives, tomatoes, red onions, pepperoncini and feta) and the […]

Cindi’s NY Delicatessen Restaurant & Bakery

Peruse the book-like menu of Cindi’s N.Y. Deli and it’s possible you could find whatever it is you’re craving. Breakfast-wise, the pancakes and French toast are light and fluffy.

Clark Food & Wine

The concept behind Clark Food & Wine in Lowest Greenville may be difficult to grasp — smoked brisket shares the menu with roasted beets and goat cheese — but it’s not difficult to find a decent bite here. Start with the crab salad, which boasts a generous serving of crab meat, and move on to […]

The Cock & Bull

One bar, one wall of booths and a few tables compose The Cock & Bull, one of the smallest pubs around town, but the inviting neighborhood atmosphere makes up for the lack of elbowroom. Old wood, red-painted walls and country paintings of its namesake cock and bull make the English pub come alive. It’s known […]

Coffee Co.

What Coffee Co. lacks in frappuccinos, fancy espresso machines, free Wi-Fi and cushy armchairs for hanging out, it makes up for with longevity — they’ve been been roasting their own beans since 1971 — and really great coffee, including an extra-potent “Motor Oil” variety that will surely get your motor revving. Early risers will have […]

Columbian Country Club

Remember when grandma let you take a drag off her ciggie? What happened to those grandmas? Well, you might find one at Columbian Country Club, which oddly gives off grandma vibes, and for some reason we love it. Paying homage to the original Columbian Country Club in Dallas that opened in 1881, the proprietors have […]

Company Cafe

This Lower Greenville restaurant proudly waves a flag for gluten-free, seasonal and organic food. The kitchen at the brick-and-mortar location of Company Cafe produces surprising and delightful fare sure to satisfy the staunchest meat-and-potatoes lovers, who might mistakenly think a restaurant focused on organic and gluten-free food is better suited to granola-crunching hippies. Instead, the […]

Contemporary Theatre of Dallas

This cozy old church-turned-playhouse off Lower Greenville Avenue is a solid choice for anyone who’s more into modern theater than Shakespeare. Previous seasons have featured everything from Rocky Horror Picture Show and The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas to Brighton Beach Memoirs and Steel Magnolias, and the intimate space means there’s hardly a bad seat […]

Copper Spur Saloon

Pity the band that competes for patrons’ attention against the raucous games of darts, shuffleboard, pool, cards and shit-talking on a Saturday night at the Copper Spur Saloon–featured in “Dallas’s Most Authentic Dive Bars”. It’s a tough crowd, but maybe they’re just following the lead of owner Nell Scarborough, a stocky gray-haired woman whose quick […]

Corner Market

This isn’t the type of café where you can meet your friends for a post-dinner Americano (Corner Market closes at 8 p.m.), but if you want a tortellini plate as high as the Dolemites, then this is your café. Walk in and get overwhelmed by the variety of salads and sammies, among them the Mockingbird […]

Cosmo’s Bar & Lounge

Tucked away at the corner of Skillman and Live Oak since 2000 is Cosmo’s, a restaurant and bar boasting no nonsense, one of a kind hospitality.

Crandall Cotton Gin

The Crandall Cotton Gin is a bastion of home-cookin’ housed in — surprise! — an old cotton gin. (That’s gin as in an automated cotton-picking machine, not the liquor, so don’t get too excited.) Chicken-fried steak and chicken-fried chicken are what you’ll find on practically every table here, flanked by the requisite sides — fried […]
