You name it.

1. American Airlines Museum
2. FTW Center tour
3. Book Depository and site of Kennedy assination.
4. Dallas Alley (it's been years since I've been there but it was a great place to have a cold one.
5. Fort Worth Zoo
6. Golf courses all over the place.
7. If you're into the Gentleman's clubs, used to be a row of them near Love. (Again, thats 15 year old intel).
8. When I used to go to SimuFlite our customer rep always had an extra ticket or two to whatever sporting event was going on that time of year.

I know there are many more that those on this board can expand on.

Do not forget EAT and some of the greatest .... and most expensive ... "Gentleman's" clubs in the country!

 

[Lostdog65]

The Stockyards...and pick up some cow poop encased in acrylic...don't worry about finding them...they are everywhere at The Stockyards!

The Texas Book Depositary and Kennedy Museum is very interesting, and a worthwhile visit.

I have to admit I've never made it there when at Simuflite, however-- it's too much of a drive. It's a great excursion if you are on an overnight at DAL, though.

If you go to the Ft Worth stockyards be sure to eat at the "Cattlemen's" It has always had the best beef in the world whenever I've eaten there.

The Galareia has some of the most spectacular shopping in Texas if not the world and the female scenery is also world class.

And don't forget BBQ !

Cool River in Las Colinas (sp.) is awesome.........I also recommend Esparza's in Grapevine (killer tex mex). We stay at the Embassy Bass Pro Shops in Grapevine.

I just got back..stayed in Grapevine. There was not a whole lot to do that I found, although I didn't really have time for it anyway. I went to the Stockyards and that was cool for a few hours. Cozymels was pretty good mexican food. That's about all i've got for ya.

 

[SoundBarViolatr]

Buffalo Wild Wings. We don't have those back in CA so I was allll over that when I was there for my 2 weeks last year.

 

[2000flyer]

If you have time, try Uncle Julio's in FTW. Some of the finest mexican north of the border! If you're not in the mood for Mexican, I recommend the quail!

There is also a newer place right on the corner going into the stockyards and the name escapes me now (my 10th day in Europe will do that to me ).

As "fatburger" said, the Embassy is nice. I've spent several hours at the Bass ProShop. They also have a fantastic restaurant there serving several wild game dishes and some fantastic inhouse brewed beer!:beer:

 

[AA717driver]

Buffalo Wild Wings.

WOW! And I thought I had low standards!

Cozymel's? Garcia's in FTW is awsome as are a 100 other places. Gotta be resourceful or you end up eating at chains. TC

If you make it to the stockyards, the world famous Joe T. Garcias is worth a visit. Jus make sure you bring cash or check...no plastic accepted.

Esparza's, good grub and margarita's. (Limited to two if not eating.)
Bass Pro, food and micro brew!

I speak ye language! Not an ugly woman in that town. Those purdy Texas lady folk will make a good dog break its leash.

Lot's of Credit Card Millionaires in Dallas, so be careful. Nice new BMW, latest Paris fashions, iced out, newest cell phone/PDA/Blackberry, and a 300-SQFT apt on which they can barely make the monthly rent on time.

Why do you think the term "God Bless Texas" came about?

The oldest steak house in the Stock Yards...and in my humble opinion for the money, EXCELLENT, is the Lonesome Dove. They do a cowboy cut ribeye that will just about give you brain damage when your tongue hits the top of your mouth trying to get to the meat! A close second, better drinks and scenery is the H3 steakhouse a block away. A couple of the mexican food joints in the area do a queso flameado (yes flaming cheese) actually served on fire, great appetizer...mmmm food.

Dont do adult establishments in the Arlington area, make the trek to Dallas. I would suggest the Penthouse Club (I hear....) its ok .

That's funny, when you and I walked in there they knew you by name and they started kicking guys out of the VIP area because they were in 'your seats.' hmmmmmmm What was that all about?

 

[SoundBarViolatr]

Hey TC- The food has got to match the equipment! Ask me again after you hire me!

He is absolutely right about Cool River. Go there on a Thursday Night. Great restaurant (a little pricey but not to bad). Go for dinner and then into the bar/night club. Great bands, and great eye candy. You WILL like it. We normally stay at the Embassey South.

What??? Otter being known by 1st name in a 'Gentelman's' Club? Hmmmmnnnnn...... Looking forward to a trip to DFW - shine up those boot's boys!

Hey, they happen to be very polite down here, Welcome back Mr. Otter...they just say welcome back to make you look better with an associate.

I swear I have never been in there before! How they knew my favorite drink and dinner choice...they ought to advertise the ESP equipped servers..hell of a good trick.

 

[coloneldan]

Hey Otter, I LOVE your signature. I may take that on as one of my mottos. :beer: :nuts: :beer:

 

[NYYfan]

hey thanks for all the good info. but where exactly are the stockyards. went to hooters last night and asked the waitress but she never gave me an answer.

 

[Otter]

I wish it were an Otter original, use away, I got it off a South Beach Bar T-Shirt I bought after punishing said liver at the bar in St Maarten. You can drink a good amount of booze waiting for that 747 to pull on to the centerline and then launch all the tourist's stuff out in to the bay!!!! Love that

Oh, and the stock yards are on Main Street in Fort Worth. From Grapevine take 121 west to merge with 183 west, then 820 west, exit 287/main street.

take you 25-35 mins based on traffic.

Waaap waaap waaap waaaaaaaa, I've been really tryyyyyin' baaaaby.

Also try Boston's. It's a chain place with hot chicks hanging out in the bar every night.

 

[AV8OR]

Alright. Don't normally reveal my favorite haunts but, if yer eatin at BW3, dude, you need to get out.

Two words....Cowboy's.......Arlington.

Take a cab. Wranglers and Ropers if ya don't won't to look like a jackass.

Thank me later.
