What is this place? Why? I’m here from Atlanta for work, flew in Thursday. I’ve been to most major cities in the US, including the other big ones in Florida (Tampa Bay is cool, Orlando is okay, Jacksonville is a straight up shit-hole). This city is unlike any other I’ve ever visited. It has incredible art and architecture, and some of the best food I’ve ever eaten, but it’s also 85° with 90% humidity in October. On top of the unbearable heat, it’s as expensive as staying in Manhattan. For the life of me I could not imagine myself living here. Granted I’m staying on Miami Beach which I gather is super touristy and this super expensive. But If it’s this hot and miserable in October then July just must be hell. The only other place I can slightly compare it with would be Brooklyn and Queens, but worse. So, what is it about this place? Why does anyone live here in this god forsaken swap at the ass end of the country? And why is it so popular with tourists? There must be something I’m missing. (I want to add a caveat that I’m not complaining and/or trying to disrespect this place. It’s cool, and I can see it being amazing in like… February. Everyone has been so welcoming and friendly but I cannot understand the appeal of this place year round.)

Welcome to the neighborhood, D.L. Mack’s🍸 This cozy Chicago-style tavern does not disappoint👏🏼 Everything was delicious, but the cracker crust honey truffle chicken pizza really did it for me. They also use Banana Hazelnut Infused Cold Brew in their Espresso Martinis and o.m.g. IT’S SO GOOD. Cheers to many more nights at Mack’s🥂✨ Ordered: Garlic Knots, Lemon Drop Martini, Bee’s Knees Cocktail, The McCarthy Salad, Honey Truffle Chicken Pizza, Cheeseburger, Espresso Martinis Want to Try Next: Mozzarella Sticks, Pesto Rotini, Harry Caray Special Pizza, Southside Cocktail

I feel like good service & quality food has been a little hard to find in Dallas these days! One of my favorite spots for lunch & brunch is definitely an exception🍝 James at Al Biernat's Oak Lawn took excellent care of us today and the food was amazing as always👏🏼 Most people think of Al Biernat’s as a fancy dinner spot, but you should definitely give it a try during the day! The prices are great and the food will have you coming back week after week☕️✨ Ordered: Bread Basket with Whipped Herb Butter, Brad’s Grilled Pear Salad, Tortilla Soup, Wild Boar Bolognese, Latte with House-Made Biscotti Want to Try Next: Escargots & Tortellini, Herb Roasted Chicken, Lump Crab Angel Hair Pasta

With these cooler temps I knew I needed to grab a warm latte and experience autumn at the Arboretum🎃🍂 With over 100,000 pumpkins throughout the garden, there so many beautiful sights to see! I also had no idea the city of Floydada (about 5 hours west) is THE pumpkin capital of Texas! All the pumpkins at the Arboretum are from their farms🚜🌾 PSA: If you have a membership, the Arboretum is open every morning from 7am-9am for members only🙌🏼 I highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful fall escape🍁

Is there anything more Texas than the State Fair? As a Dallas native, I’ve been going ever since I was a little girl🎡 There is something about the smell of corn dogs frying and Big Tex waving “Howdy, Folks!” that makes me feel at home💕 My first stop is always Fletcher’s to get the best corny dog on the planet. I know it’s controversial, but I’m team mustard AND ketchup💛❤️ Next I tried some 2022 food winners ~ if you’re a pickle lover, the pickle pizza is to die for! I loved every bite. If you have a sweet tooth, the fried rocky road + bluebell is 10/10 for me! I usually end with a Bacon-Wrapped Turkey Leg from Hans Mueller (IYKYK). My other all-time favorites include fried oreos, fried PB&J, Funnel Cakes, and a swig of Pepto Bismol🤪 Try some new foods, ride the Ferris Wheel, play games & win big at the Midway, and end your night with the beautiful Illumination Sensation performance🎆🎉

It’s not SMU Homecoming Weekend without a night out at Javier’s🍸 The staff is always extremely friendly and the atmosphere is so much fun! I’ve narrowed down my favorite menu items and they include (1) The Perfect Margarita, (2) Smoked Chicken Nachos, and (3) Cafe Pierre ~ this dessert drink is 🔥 (literally!) It’s made with Rum, Kahlua, Brandy, Amaretto liqueur, Coffee, and homemade Whipped Cream. It’s delicious & the star of the show every time✨ Minimum order of 2 but you won’t regret it! Oh and if you’re looking for something to try in the cigar room, go for an Espresso Martini and a Vanilla Cigar😘 What are your Javier’s favorites?

Come for the aesthetic, stay for the dessert☕️ Walking into Sadelle’s Highland Park feels like you’ve stepped into a sea of Tiffany Blue💍 Everything is beautiful! You can tell so much time & effort was put into every single detail ~ the florals, lamps, wallpaper, mosaic tile, beautiful plates, and the long leather menus✨ When it comes to the food, I wanted to wait and only post when I had found my absolute favorites! After many lunch visits, I can confidently say there is one thing you MUST order ~ their sticky bun (warmed up) & a latte for dessert! I will continue to come weekly just for this combo. It has me excited for Fall🍂 Take a peek at what I ordered below to see all my other lunch favorites! #justdallasthings Ordered: Pellegrino & Lime, Crispy Latkes with Lemon Zest Sour Cream, Bloody Mary with Horseradish Vodka, The Triple Decker, Fries, and of course my Latte & Sticky Bun!
