Things to do in dallas1/23/2024 ![]() Relax at Klyde Warren Parkīooks are available to read in Klyde Warren Park It’s hard to go wrong with the choices in Lower Greenville. Another family favorite is Terilli’s where you can try their Italchos (Italian nachos, of course) and a martini by the piano in the bar or by the fireplace on the roof. We love settling in for a cocktail on the rooftop terrace of HG Sply Co., which has great views of downtown. We love it because there are lots of places to choose from and because it’s fun without being too crazy. Once one of the grittier neighborhoods in Dallas, Lower Greenville is now a fun spot for going out because of its many restaurants and bars. Whatever you do, don’t miss the fabulous street art throughout the neighborhood-it’s part of the 42 Murals project to beautify the area and preserve its unique character. Then choose from Lebanese tapas, Tex-Mex specialties, or some of the city’s best BBQ, and hit up any of the great bars in Deep Ellum. Maybe you can learn a little something from my misadventure.Some of the unexpected sodas at Rocket Fizzĭuring your weekend in Dallas, stop by Rocket Fizz to sample some truly unusual sodas and find candy you haven’t seen since childhood. I hope you enjoy them and have a better time here than I did. I've uploaded some pictures from the best areas of the park that I saw. This park probably has more to offer than what I witnessed, but my trip to it was uneventful, uninspiring, a bit dangerous, and it's not the most beautiful park in the world, or even Dallas for that matter. Other than her, there was nobody else in sight. I walked along the street until I was finally able to see a better, clearer entrance that took me down to the Turtle Creek Parkway path.Īlong the path I witnessed some wildlife in the form of various ducks and birds. I did finally pop out of the woods onto some road that I suppose had to be Bowen Street. This was a dumb idea and not something I recommend. However, then it dead-ended into some woods that I decided to walk through despite the heavy underbrush. What a mess! Eventually I made it down to what looked like a park and I began working in the short cut grass. There's no easy way and all I see is people running, jogging, walking, bicycling, and lots and lots of construction. Once on the Trail I see something resembling a park, but I have no idea how to get there. Then, I walked down to Snider's Union plaza which just so happened to be on what was called the Katy Trail, a popular jogging and biking path in downtown Dallas. Luckily, I was able to grab a parking space on this small side street for FREE. Becoming frustrated, I drove over Lemmon Avenue heading east then turned right on Carlisle Street and then turned right again onto Carlisle Place. I also couldn't figure out where to park as there didn't appear to be any lots for either park. ![]() ![]() I had wanted to check out Robert E Lee Park and Turtle Creek Park while I was in Dallas, but when I got to the area I got confused and couldn't tell where one park began and the other one ended. Note, all the hedges have white and red flowers at the bases. Great area, very green, peaceful, beautiful. She told us Jerry Jones house was at the end of the creek, owner of a sports team apparently. One reviewer said what to do? take pix of yourself with the bears, walk along the trail, sit on one of the many benches and contemplate life, feed a squirrel, and yes, I would throw a blanket on the ground and have cheese and wine if it wasn't raining. We drove to Versailles Park, saw the gazebo and little else, as the water was sheeting down. However the rain started to really come down. I don't melt so I was going to walk a bit. The difference between Tx rain and Phoenix rain.the drops are closer together in Texas. She told us about Versailles Park, also called Flippen Park I think. She remarked she was listening to the radio. I laughed and asked if Texans have it that down pat. She said it was going to rain in 20 minutes. Very large lily pads, flowers all closed. She said whenever anyone visits, people always bring them down to see the bears, made out of Tx granite. ![]() Told us what it was called, told us how to get to the teddy bears across the bridge. There was a woman walking by, we all said hi and she stopped to talk. With a photographer's camera, people usually stop and talk. ![]()
