Tell Us Your Top Dallas / Fort Worth Travel Tips
Let’s go to DFW Metroplex, the city that Daniel Day Lewis built alone as a character. Oddly enough, he was the character of that Phantom Thread guy. The story is crazy.
Now, if I can wear a schoolteacher hat on a school trip, some people don’t give a damn about Dallas and the surrounding cities and might be tempted to comment, “Here’s a trick: don’t go to Dallas” and don’t really provide specific information about alternative. These people will be thrown off the bus, and everyone else will go to Fantintown, Texas. Read Austin and Houston’s Hack Your City. But if you have an alternative nearby, or know a great day trip from DFW, be sure to let us know! And if you love DFW, or at least know how to make it yours, then this is your place! Here’s what we want to know.
What is underestimated? Which places in the city deserve more visitors? What are the best alternatives to tourist traps or other overpriced spots? What do you like the most about this area that would scare everyone but the most daring and discerning?
How should a visitor approach the city? How can they get along with the locals? What are the important local traditions, codes of conduct and laws? How would you describe the atmosphere to an outsider? Which cliches are true or false?
How does it feel in the long run? Residents, what do you love and hate in the city? How do you hack everyday life there? What can you do for the locals? What have you learned over the years? Where do you go if you want to get out of town?
How has the city changed in recent years? Which old advice no longer applies here, and which one is new?
Leave your tips in the comments below and we’ll highlight the best ones. (Read some of the other comments to make sure yours is unique.) Then come back Thursday for a new post full of highlights and possibly awful cowboy slang.
