This no longer "up and coming" hip block of restaurants and shops is one of the gems of Dallas. Free parking, unique and local shops. Not overrun by tourists because even locals don't know its here! Many restaurants closed Mondays, so call ahead. More

I come as often as I can. Also, this area is... More
