Cool Stuff To Do in Dallas that a New Orleanian Would Find Fun?

Some friends are coming to visit me in Dallas in a few weeks. I asked what they wanted to do and they told me that they'd let me "show off" my new city. I moved here for work about 3 yrs ago from New Orleans.

The problem is I think Dallas is kinda lame as a tourist destination. I'll probably take them by the grassy knoll, but that's all I got. They'll be here just for the weekend.

I was thinking Top Golf, but on the weekends it can be a 2-3 hr wait. Uptown is mostly out b/c my friends aren't 20 something douches.

Any ideas?

There are 10-15 microbreweries in DFW. Go to Deep Ellum and eat BBQ at Pecan Lodge. I also recommend Lakewood. The Arboretum is nice if they are into gardens.

The book depository is legit, close to pecan lodge too. The Perot is great for something to do during the day, ranger game, usually some decent music around (google is your friend).

I make it a point to go to Top Golf each time I go home to DFW

Also check out Travis's or Lester's

To anyone from a place that doesn't have a top golf, it is easily worth the wait. I think I waited 3 hours in Houston and then played for another 2.5 hours. So much fun

If they aren't 20 something douches, get up early and go. No wait.
Or go and wait in the bar. It's nice and has sports on. Like Snake23 said, it's worth it.


FC Dallas
Hard 8 BBQ
I like Fort Worth

Dallas reminds me of Atlanta. Great place to live but I wouldn't want to visit there.

Kennedy Assassination Museum/Grassy Knoll/Book Depository is a MUST! Plus there are numerous ties between the Kennedy assassination and the city of N.O.

Stock yards stink and suck unless you like cowboy hats, boots, country music and cow shite. Soooo over-rated!

Save me google and reading, what is Top Golf? Is it an 18 hole course, or something else? What's the attraction? Hear it talked about all the time and am clueless.
