Not gonna lie. Life has been crazy lately and I wrote this for a completely different application. But, as soup is utilitarian, and so is this information, I am re-purposing. Just like that cinnamon candle that you are going to use for a white elephant gift.
Looking for things to do in Dallas? Things to do beyond the awesome museums and parks and BBQ? Are you hanging out near White Rock/State Fair Grounds/West End/Deep Ellum?
1. Rent a Lime Bike and ride White Rock Lake. White Rock Lake has plenty of paved trails, trees, sunshine, breeze and views. Lime Bikes have handy dandy baskets, so you can pack a picnic and eat in a lovely setting that happens to be a human-created lake as we don’t do lazy natural bodies of water in Texas.

2. Need a destination? Cruise your bike over to the Aboretum. The displays are phenomenal on an average day but they have truly remarkable Halloween and Christmas displays. Time your visit correctly and you could be included in a free tasting at the new addition, The Tasteful Place.

3. Never learned how to ride a bike? Blame your parents and then take a walking tour of in the West End with Explore Dallas History. Dallas has a rich heritage of wild characters who inspired and paid for impressive architecture. Dallas is more than just the JFK assassination, y’all. www.ExploreDallasHistory.com
4. Want a drank? And yes, I mean ‘drank’. Check out the Double Wide – they have a faux tornado on top and real drinks made with Tang inside. Actual Tang. In your drank.

5. Pizza for that Tangover? Check out Cane Rosso (pronounced Kanye Rosso). Kanye has jack to do with this place as it is classy AF. It also has get in mah mouth pizza made in their custom pizza oven. Two locations (Deep Ellum and White Rock) for your pizza pleasure. My favorite is the Che Cazzo because it will kick your butt with heat, but the Honey Badger is the awesome secret pizza not on the menu. Shhhhh.

6. If karaoke is your gig, you need to check out The Goat. You need to check out The Goat even if karaoke isn’t your thing. Wait a minute. You need to check out The Goat even if karaoke AND bars aren’t your thing. This is a legit dive bar that attracts everything from the pastel-shorted douche crew to professional 88 year-old bar flies and quite literally everything in between. The drinks are cheap, the bands are legit, and the karaoke is often ‘is that a shirtless hillbilly in overalls rocking Hamilton??’ level. They don’t have a website because they do not frickin’ need one.
