I travel to Dallas frequently and always at Christmas time to see the magic of lights that brings a Christmas experience to this city like no city enjoys. The famous holiday window at Nieman Marcus is a treasure. Dallas is a beautiful city with many areas to enjoy. My hotel choice has always been the Magnolia which is located just a block away from Nieman Marcus, and it maintains the elegance of Dallas at a very reasonable price.

You can tour more square footage of shopping in Dallas than any other city in America. Be sure to visit Stonebriar Center in Frisco, where its not just about shopping; this place has great entertainment. For upmarket shopping, go to a wonderful place known as Plaza of the Americas. Here you will find a 15-story atrium where palm trees surround the shopping area. My favorite place in Dallas is the custom boot shop where they have every kind of boot material you can think of.

Eating is a Dallas experience that no one forgets. If you are looking for the best beef you have ever tasted, go to the West End where you will find The Butcher Shop and Palm (The). There is no doubt that these two restaurants serve the most superb beef.

I would not miss touring the Dallas Cowboys Football Stadium which is the largest covered professional football stadium in the world. The structure is amazing and the jumbo tron is the largest in the world also. The stadium seats over 100,000 people, and the roof opens when weather permits. The architecture is unbelievably beautiful.

Where is the information regarding Southlake? It's a small suburb considered part of "Dallas" and it's the richest city per capita in the United States yet I don't see any information regarding it on this site. Looking at Southlake on Zillow in terms of house prices is almost identical to looking at Stanford, California (i.e., the house prices are at a minimum around one million dollars). However unlike Stanford, California these are not run-down houses. Check out the the street Byron Nelson if you do go to Zillow and look at Southlake. As for the rest of Dallas, I'm pretty sure (although the exact definition of the area and population are hard to define) that Preston Hollow would be the second richest area.

I travel to Dallas quite often for business and for weekend getaways. The city of Dallas never ceases to amaze me. While some might think of Texas as still stuck in the 1800s, Dallas is actually a modern, thriving metropolis. It has wonderful shopping areas, including the Galleria mall, which is home to many high-end retailers (such as Tiffany's). There are Dallas restaurants for every price-point, and some of the best eateries are those which offer authentic Mexican cuisine.

Though rush hour traffic can get heavy and backed up, this is normal for cities the size of Dallas. Since the roadways are kept up well and are bedecked with flowers and beautiful greenery, getting stuck in traffic is a little less frustrating, because you have things other than asphalt and honking horns to keep your attention.

Dallas is, overall, a beautiful city full of friendly and easy-going people. Native Texans great you with a big smile, and immediately make visitors feel welcome. The sunny weather (which can get hot in the summer) and friendly atmosphere make Dallas a wonderful city to live or travel to.
