More about the Fine Art of Life in Dallas
Seemingly larger than life, Dallas for many people
personifies all things Texas. From flashy architecture to oversize automobiles
this is a city living large.
The best description of Dallas I have ever seen comes from
foodwriter and author Poppy Z. Brite in her book PRIME. She describes the
nighttime view of Dallas as seen from the cocktail lounge atop the glittering
orb of Reunion Tower as if, “a very rich woman with very gaudy taste had upended
her jewelry box onto a huge piece of dark blue satin.”

Seasons at the Four Seasons Resort and Spa in Irving
Steel
Lola
Arcodoro/Pomodoro
Iris
Suze
Taverna
MEXICAN RESTAURANT THE LOCALS LOVE
Veracruz in the Bishop’s Art District
BEST CHOCOLATE EXPERIENCE IN DALLAS
Chocolate Sushi at Steel. Dip it in the warm caramel sauce for a Texas-size Yum.
Madelyn’s favorite Hole in the Wall and Hamburger places
1. Lee Harvey’s . Bad neighborhood, good hamburgers. Half pound burger is just
$5.50 including fries
2. The Loon
Across from Uptown, this dark place was recommended by a restaurant owner.
Everyone I take there loves it and returns with others. And so on.
3. Stoneleigh P. Warning: They have this thing about not serving Ketchup. Bring
your own or settle for BBQ sauce or mustard. Loud jukebox music and free
magazines to read. Maybe it is a good place to go alone since the music is so
loud it is a little hard to talk, But the free magazines are always up to date.
(not that kind of date)
MADELYN’S FAVORITE UPSCALE HAMBURGER PLACES
4. Hattie’s in the Bishop’s Art District. The ground round burger comes with
Gouda cheese and sweet potato fries.
418 N. Bishop Avenue 214-942-7499
5. Cretia’s. Not really a hole in the wall, this very charming tea house has a
monster size 12 oz. hamburger stuffed with garlic and goat cheese comes with a
side salad or fries. Worth every penny of the ten dollar price.
4438 McKinney. 214-252-9910
6. Hector’s. Who would go to a Latino fusion restaurant and order a hamburger? I
did once and then loved it so much I went back with friends again and again. Be
sure to order the sweet potato fries—no matter what else you have.
Henderson Street

Gilley’s for the flavor of Texas and great entertainment. Come wet yer whistle
