Swanny,

Dallas has great shopping (Worse luck for you!). Your g/f would probably like the Galleria (and its surrounding area) which has a lot of upscale shopping just north of 635 in Addison. There are good restaurants near there as well. There are some small boutique like shops near SMU.

As far as restaurants go, I have two to recommned to you. I like steak and Dallas has good steaks so here goes:

1. Fogo De Chao Churrascaria, in Addison. This is a Brazilian Steakhouse with excellent food and an excellent atmosphere.
2. For pure steak pleasure (but slightly less atmosphere), try Bob's Steak and Chop House on Lemmon Ave.

Both of these are excellent and reservations are necessary.

If you like decent pasta and a fudge brownie a la mode that must resemble heaven, try Sphagetti Warehouse. Superb!

Hope this helps.

Agreed. Stepping into Texas is like entering a time warp. Friendly people but different. I remember the waitress thanking me for putting my knife and fork on the plate after I finished what admittedly was an incredible steak.

No DC HOF, but there will be when the new stadium is finished. There is much to do, depending what you like to do. My only real complaint is the lack of Jazz / Blues clubs. If your into the C&W scene, go to Cowboys in Arlington or Billy Bob's in Ft. Worth, check out the live indoor rodeo and bull riding and live concerts. I am not a big C&W fan, love my classic rock and jazz, but Billy Bob's is great to check out and the other places at the the Stock Yards. The place called (I think) is the White Elephant, or something like that is where the bar was they filmed Walker, Texas Ranger, CC's or whatever is was on the show. Shopping, is all over, someone mentioned the Galleria, also the Parks Mall in Arlington, and in Grapevine, the Grapevine Mills Mall. Of course right by Texas Stadium id the DC Pro Shop. Eating, there are more restaurants than you can imagine. At one time, DFW area was the 2nd largest area for people dining out in the USA. If one palce in too crowded, or don't siut your taste, drive for a minute and there is another palce to try.

When you get here, need any more info, just ask. Hope I am back there then, my work has me in Montreal right now. Until the end of September.

You're lucky to be in Montreal at this time of year. Class city.
