Local Secrets, Big Finds: Sunday morning's beg for a trip to Monica's Aca y Aya, with its brunch and live music, and salsa dancing into the night (including free lessons). Every night's a party, from 50-cent margaritas to half-price food at dinner. Our editors love the chili-pumpkin ravioli, black bean pepper steak, and Mexican lasagna.
Chill-out spot: On the steps of Dallas Hall, on the Southern Methodist University campus, idealistic students chat politics, local families frolic in fountains, and others simply take in the city's best view of the Dallas's skyline.
Did we mention it's free? A cultural oasis amidst the urban energy of downtown, the Nasher Sculpture Center is an outdoor, "roof-less" museum where locals and art-lovers from all around the world gather to enjoy billionaire Raymond Nasher's exquisite collection by the likes of Edward Degas, Carl Andre, and Barbara Hepworth. .
Local tipple: The Tres Generations Margarita is the Tex-Mex equivalent to don Perignon, combining Grand Marnier liquor, lime juice, and Tres Generation tequila--the smoothest (and one of the most expensive) tequilas available in Texas.
Where to blow a paycheck: The Flagship Neiman Marcus in Downtown Dallas remains a department store legend after 95 years of selling ready-to-wear couture. The store also features a museum on the fifth-floor, which tells the Neiman Marcus story.
Dress Code: Comfort is key in the Big D, especially in the 100 degree summers. Casual khakis, linen dresses, and down-home denim help you blend right in, but do expect to see the iconic Stetsons, Wrangler jeans, and cowboy boots at the rodeo or stock shows.
