Let's make a deal...
You tell me what there is to do in Dallas and I'll tell you what there is to do in New Orleans.

Ive been to New Orleans, so no need to reply
As for Dallas.....Greenville Avenue is a pretty happening street. SMU co-eds etc...nice little party place.
West End is also a good spot before the Cotton Bowl. Always a great atmosphere when both teams fans are there the night before the game.
The Galleria off of 635 is a good spot to shop. At least that is where my wife likes to go. THey also have an ice skating rink if you feel like breaking your back.
Where are you staying?

In Dallas, ( I used to live there ) I'd go out to eat around McKinney Avenue and the Uptown area. Nick and Sams on Maple, Uncle Julio's on Lemmon Avenue are my favorites when I am in town. Victory Park which is sort of where Uptown meets the West End, has some good bars and restaurants, too.
If the wife wants to shop, send her to NorthPark or the West Village. West Village also has some good food and is a walkable environment where you can shop, get coffee, chill out.
In Arlington, there's not much to do. Getting in and out of the stadium is pretty easy, although there will be a lot of traffic.
Go early to JerryWorld so you have time to walk around and check it all out.

And in New Orleans, is Arnaud's still there? The Absynthe Room?
Any other French Quarter places with excellent seafood are appreciated.

Deep Elum if you are into the party scene as well.
If the Dallas Stars are in town, that is actually a pretty fun thing to go to.
I went when I lived in Dallas quite often. Most fun live sporting event IMO. Now, I was going during the Stanley Cup playoffs, so the atmosphere was awesome. Not sure what it is like during regular season games.
There is a grown ups go cart track off of I35. I cannot remember the name of the place. They have an open bar though. So that is pretty fun to drink and act like a kid again. At least it was for us.
We always try to stop and eat at a Salt Grass when we are around that area. It is a Texas chain place, but they have pretty good food. I enjoy their steaks.
Grapevine has a Bass Pro Shops and a very big indoor outlet mall. They used to have a Brooks Brothers outlet store there.
Again, not sure if you are looking for shopping ideas or just party ideas.

Deep Ellum is ok. It was rough around 2006-7. It may have cleaned up some since then.
Lower Greenville was cleaner and safer and not any futher from dowtown.
And if you're gay, go to Cedar Springs.

Try Blue Goose Cantina on lower Greenville Ave. Campisi's on Mockingbird. The original Snuffer's is pretty good as well. If you like a great pizza and good wine, Coalvines is damn good.
Northpark is likely the best overall mall-shopping experience in Dallas.

I think Deep Ellum has always been rougher. There were only 1 or 2 bars that we would go to.
Always the possibility of getting mugged in that area IMO.
Greenville Ave was always full of hot arse. SMU is near there. I always felt like that area was more of that college atmosphere.
BILLY BOBS out in the Stockyards is cool as well if you have never been.
I used to love Billy Bobs

This.
Uptown is my favorite area these days.
Primo's has outstanding people watching and good tex-mex. There's a sports bar just a couple of doors down (franky's) and another dive bar'ish place next door (quarter bar).
West End has grown pathetic, IMO. Too many homeless. Doesn't feel safe.
I think the restaurants up around knox-henderson are more interesting.
Greenville Avenue is pretty good too.
Haven't been to Deep Ellum in probably 10 years. But it used to be the best area for live music. Don't know if that's still the case.

Yeah, Billy Bobs is great. You can see some Nashville artists there for like 10 bucks. Check the schedule. Might get to see a good show for little dough.

Were you trying to be a prick with your OT thread?

McKinney and West end will be the happening spots in Dallas. West end during the day and Mckinney during the night is how we usually do it. Have fun
FWIW, I liked the old Cotton Bowl stadium more than Jerry World. Not as nice, but more traditional.

No. Didn't think much about it until I saw him out there slicing up the tomatoes and serving it with a pickle spear on the side.
Did you think I was trying to be a prick? Probably ther mention of Subway as a meal alternative, led some to believe I was looking down on them.
I was however trying to be a small bit of a prick about Hog fans and their long established view of Dallas as their Sports Mecca. Cotton Bowl, SWC basketball tourney, Cowboy Stadium.
Started getting good feedback, so apparently I'm much better at being an accidential prick than I am a intentional prick.

We owned Dallas while in the SWC, WGAS? Nothing braggadocios about the truth.
Anyway, stop making fun of people eating from a trunk when you're eating from a GS Deli... nothing elite about that brougham...
As for Big D, where are you staying and no, I don't mean "a buddy"... What food do you like/prefer... Are you hitting a T Bar... Will you dress in anything other than camo or an LSU tshirt... Give me details and I will help.
