Tucked away in the hotel lobby, the Barber Shop was revealed as part of The Adolphus Hotel's recent renovation. Brass Tacks staffs the shop, providing hotel guests and Dallas cool kids with the same straight-razor shaves and classic cuts that made their Oak Cliff barber shop popular. The vibe could be described as speakeasy-esque with a curated selection of vinyl spinning all day long and cold beer at the ready. Appointments can be made online and a variety of grooming products are available for purchase, including Brass Tacks' signature Easy Rider Beard Oil.

Maybe you scoff at those ubiquitous Sewell ads because other dealerships have made you skeptical of the whole car-buying enterprise. Sewell really is different, though. Most car dealerships treat you like a king when you're shopping, and the customer-first sales process at Sewell is no exception. But the family-owned company keeps up the royal treatment even after you drive off the lot. Among other perks, owners can take their cars to any Sewell dealership sans reservation for a free car wash, and when it's time for an oil change, there's no nicer place to wait than the Sewell service lounge, where you'll find complimentary Wi-Fi, refreshments (cookies!) and gracious, knowledgeable staff.

If you're looking for a new bike, Bicycles Plus in Snider Plaza carries well-known brands like Trek and Cannondale, as well as some harder-to-find models, with free lifetime adjustments on any bike they sell.

The shop hosts 20- to 30-mile group rides at White Rock Lake on Monday evenings during daylight saving time and shorter warm-up and recovery rides on Wednesday evenings.

Thanks to sports and rap culture, sneakers have become a luxury, in-demand product. And nobody understands the fashion commodity like Oak Cliff shop Trap Boutique, which provides high-end sneakers to a large following of loyal customers.

The boutique carries upscale and popular sneaker brands, such as Fear of Gods, Supreme and Yeezys, as well as clothes. The resale store will also give you fair pricing for your old shoes so you can stay up to date on your look. If stylish leisurewear is the only way you feel you can treat your feet, then walk them into Trap Boutique.

Frisco is a record-store desert. Sure, you can score some vinyl at Half Price Books and Barnes & Noble, but an authentic and local record store is difficult to come by when you venture up north. ZT Records stands out as a refreshing oasis, and it's a best-kept secret of sorts. If you type it into Google Maps, you will arrive at a behemoth of an antique store, thinking that the app guided you there by mistake. It didn't -— ZT Records is located inside Frisco Mercantile, and it stands humbly among a throng of neighboring boutique shops. The enclave is small but cozy. It has an impressively varied selection of jazz, soundtrack and classic rock records, and its hip-hop selection is expanding. If you find yourself in Tree City USA and don't want to buy wax from the corporate overlords, give this place a shot.

Although Goody Goody has about a dozen stores scattered across the DFW area, the Oak Lawn location really shines. If you're looking for something a little classier than your regular Tuesday night supermarket Chardonnay, this is the place to look. There are Burgundies to impress your dinner guests, and if you're looking for something more local, they have a respectable selection of Texas wines. The wine selection is big enough that it could be daunting for anyone who isn't looking for something specific, but the friendly and knowledgeable staff are happy to point you in the right direction.

Like any good fabric shop, Golden d'Or is a riot of color and texture. Walk in the front door, and you'll see a space the size of a factory floor spreading out in front of you with different types of fabric going in every direction. The store has a huge selection of fabrics for fashion, quilting and furniture, as well as specialty fabrics like tulle and vinyl. When you've found something you like, you can take it to any of several cutting tables set up in convenient spots around the store, meaning you don't need to drag everything to a single location.

Sometime soon enough, you'll probably find yourself making a pot of chili. And, sure, you can use that bottle of supermarket chili powder that's hanging out in your spice cabinet. Or, if you respect yourself and want to make a pot of chili that's as good as it can possibly be, you could go to Pendery's. Walk into either the original location in Fort Worth or their new outpost in the Design District, and you'll find more kinds of whole dried chiles and housemade chili powder blends than you knew existed. They also stock all the dried herbs and spices you'll need.

If you're looking for a way to drop even more money than usual at a Whole Foods, this one has a bar. The Whole Foods Taproom has a rotating list of 24 craft beers on tap, mostly made up of local offerings. They also have bottle beers, wine by the glass or bottle and coffee on tap. Like any respectable bar, they have a happy hour from 4 to 7 p.m. and Thursday night pint nights where they highlight a brewery from the region. They also offer growler fills of select tap beers, and if you're looking for something bigger, they can special-order kegs of craft beer for you.

The Deep Ellum destination just announced that it'll be moving locations, citing that the staff often have to clean up samples of bodily functions left on the store's sidewalk and walls by rowdy drunks. If that last sentence has you browsing for specific bodily functions through PornHub, then this shop is your personal heaven. Leather Masters caters to every type of fetish, be it dog muzzles or sex swings, and their garment leatherwork is elegant — something you could wear to an event, if you're a bold Angelina type. While other sex stores cater to bachelorette party planners or softcore 50 Shades enthusiasts, the shop is more focused on customers who can't get by without true kink.
