Dolly Python

This East Dallas wonder is where hipsters go to find vintage band shirts, leather motorcycle jackets and weird old jewelry when they’ve got money to burn. It can be pricey, but the selection is undeniably well-curated. There’s also a killer vinyl selection and various other oddities like taxidermied animals and shrunken heads. Major bonus: There’s […]

Dong Que Restaurant

There are lots of Vietnamese restaurants in Garland but Dong Que Restaurant is the place you want to go if you’re interested in a hot bowl of bon bo hue. Hit the dark, almost muddy broth with a good squeeze of lime and watch the freshly chopped scallions come to life. Take a bite of […]

The Door Dallas

The Door first opened the doors of its Deep Ellum all-ages location back in May 1998, and it’s been a popular place for young music fans to get their rocks off to the popular touring and local acts of every genre (with a slant toward pop, rock, punk rock and pop-punk). Together with its sister […]

Dos Equis Pavilion

Too hot in summer, too cold in late fall and just right depending on who’s playing (Peter Gabriel or Neil Young, say). In other words, great if you’re 10 rows from the stage, tolerable from the middle and like-you-give-a-damn if you’re on the grass, if you know what we mean.

Dot’s Hop House & Cocktail Courtyard

Double D’s

Get your mind out of the gutter: It’s Double D’s because it’s in the Design District. The vibe here is the best party you ever hosted in your grandma’s basement, with polished brass knickknacks, old couches, a shag rug and the rest. The cocktails here are serious. Try Edna’s Lunch Box, a tribute to the famed […]

Double Wide

When Deep Ellum starts to feel just a bit too crowded, you don’t have to look too far for an escape.

What […]

Doughregarde’s

This new bakery works in tandem with restaurants at The Village; they supply the Our Daily Bread to Meridian. But, they also have their own cases full of pastries from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. They take some fun spins on classics, like a pecan sticky bun made with a nest of flaky croissant […]

Downtown Dallas

It then travels south on Harwood to Young Street, then west on Young Street, then turns south on Ervay through City Hall Plaza, finishing at Akward Street.

Dr Pepper Ballpark

The beachy architecture of this minor league baseball stadium looks like it belongs more in coastal Galveston than the whitewashed corporate ‘burb that is Frisco, which is probably why it has won multiple awards for its design. That aside, the home of the Frisco Roughriders holds 10,000 fans (or, you know, regular people who got […]
