Guidebook for Dallas
Food Scene
The counter at this East Dallas icon gets a little crowded during the lunch rush, but the sandwiches at Jimmy’s Food Store are absolutely worth throwing a few elbows for. Try the ridiculously meaty Italian Stallion, or stick with the much-beloved Cuban. Shots of espresso and cheap glasses of good Italian wine are an added bonus.

Barbecue lovers flock to stand in line at this Deep Ellum barbecue haven in search of brisket and sausage and Pecan Lodge’s signature (and massive) beef rib.

Shopping
Walking through NorthPark Center is like walking through the modern art wing of a gallery while you shop, and is where all the city's classiest socialites go.
