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

Located in the heart of Deep Ellum, Dot’s Hop House & Cocktail Courtyard is the ultimate brunch spot. From its decadent duck fat cheese fries and avocado toast bruschetta, diners are always in for a treat. Patrons can sprawl out on the enormous, 10,000-square-foot dog-friendly patio, and on chilly nights, Dot’s outdoor heaters help to […]

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. The hipster honkey tonk dive bar Double Wide, all the way down on Commerce Street, offers a selection of cheap, powerful and interesting drinks that all fit in with its trailer park aesthetic. 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

The Dallas Children’s Health Holiday Parade steps off at the corner of Market and Commerce streets and travels east on Commerce to Harwood Street. 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 […]

Dragonfly Restaurant at Hotel ZaZa

The dramatic interiors play off doors that are open to the pool and strains of hip-hop that filter in with the breeze. There’s something at once eclectic and, yes, a little pretentious about Dragonfly. The whole scene is rather Cabaret-esque. The European decor, the waitresses’ seductive uniforms, the illusion that in here, everything is beautiful. […]

Dream Café

From carnivore to vegan, kids to late-night daters, this busy spot in the Quadrangle offers fare to please any diner–except those on a tight budget–with an idiosyncratic menu that ranges from burgers dripping in cheese to the Square Meal, a platter of organic black beans, brown rice and steamed vegetables. There are real grand slam […]
