Street is packed with good restaurants and interesting buildings. Lots of people but somehow the parking is not a huge problem. Also check the quiet and stylish parallel streets to the south .

All within walking distance. And a short 5 minute drive by shuttle to the hotel. The trolley is worth the price "free" takes you all around the local area

McKinney ave is, without a doubt, the coolest single street I've ever been on. When visiting, be sure to eat at "The Stand," an awesome little burger/hotdog joint. We were in Dallas for three days and ate there three times. But, McKinney avenue has a lot of really cool places to eat and check out. Take the trolley around the... More

I live near McKinney Avenue, so I've decided to write a thorough review, based on the many times I have visited it in the past two and a half years.

The fun area for casual food and shopping. Close to NBA basketball game venue (American Airlines Center). Lots to choose from. Dog friendly during the day (most places).

I lived on McKinney Avenue, Uptown for a while. There are a lot of good restaurants and bars on the avenue. You can take a walk along the street to decide where to go; which is unusual for Dallas.
