Food & Drink Looking for laid back after work happy hour recommendations near downtown

5 Upvotes

I am organizing a few happy hours for my coworkers. So far we have done Katy Trail Ice House, Happiest Hour and Mike’s Gemini Twin. Typically it’s a group of 15 - 20.

I really like Mikes because we were able to just come in, sit down, and order. Whereas ice house and happiest hour were a little harder to get enough space close to each other. Splitting checks and working with the host was a bit harder compared to Mikes where everything was counter service.

Are there any recommendations for places within 10 - 15 mins driving from the east downtown area?

Airports (DFW/DAL) Minute Suite at the airport - Do you recommend it?

5 Upvotes

Hi,

I have long overnight layover (8 hours). I'm travelling with my wife, toddler and baby.

We could leave the airport and stay a couple hours with my brother. Wondering if I should bother him at midnight and then take us back to the airport.

Do you recommend it?

Thanks

Relocating & housing Recs on where to stay between Denton and Plano?

3 Upvotes

I’m roadtripping down with my wife and two young kiddos to visit my aunts during Thanksgiving. One is in Plano and one in Denton.

Trying to decide if we should find an AirBnB somewhere in the middle to make it easier to see both of them. Or just pick one or the other areas depending on what’s there.

I was wondering about the Lewisville area, just from looking at a map but open to any suggestions. Many thanks in advance!

Tourism Solo Trip to Dallas

14 Upvotes

Hello, 28M from Southern CA and I'm visiting Dallas for a bit in the middle of November.

I'm going by myself and I'm mainly going for a Cowboys game but I'll be there for around 5 days and have no idea how to make my time there worth it. I've done some of the big tourist things already (stuff related to the cowboys, the JFK museum) but was hoping for tips on how to enjoy some of the perks of the city that may not be so "tourist" like. Last time I spent some time and Oak Lawn for the first time and that was a great and fun discovery.

I really enjoy Dallas and plan on visiting more often so any suggestions is greatly appreciated. I will be staying near downtown and plan to uber everywhere (except the game).

A little about myself is I love being active with Pilaties, would love to see some nightlife, and hear any suggestions on local business to eat (any food type is okay). Im pretty much open to whatever, just kind of want to plan somethings to ease the anxiety of going by myself.

I did read and take notes of some other suggestions from prior posts on this sub but figured it doesn't hurt to also seek suggestions myself.

Airports (DFW/DAL) DFW Airport late 80s early 90s ambitious terminal rebuild question

6 Upvotes

Hello from Cleveland!

Would the proposed new linear Westside terminal for AA be called “Terminal 5W” on the landside, south if the south taxiway bridge/current U/C Terminal F and its satellite pier as “Concourse 3W” as the airside, along with the proposed identical eastside as “Terminal 1E” (landside, north of north taxiway bridge and Terminal A) and the airside as “Concourse 3E” unless if it was built instead of the current Skylink/Terminal D/F?

The proposed satellite piers would be oriented north-south, parallel to International Parkway, and the west satellite pier would span between Terminals B-F, while the east will ultimately span between Terminals A-C. Both are connected by underground trains to their respective landside terminals.

Edit: I’ve never been to DFW Airport and my dad has connected there via the SkyLink train system when I moved here in the US back in 2022, and I am very interested to learn more about the history of airports.

Shopping & Services Attorney recommendations for a homeowner dealing with neighboring construction in Dallas?”

2 Upvotes

I am seeking recommendations for a reputable Dallas-area attorney who represents homeowners in disputes arising from neighboring residential construction, drainage, and potential property damage.

Experience with municipal permitting and Texas public-records requests would also be beneficial.

I have raised specific concerns with the City of Dallas, but their responses so far haven't addressed my substantive questions. My open-records request remains unresolved, and the City has referred it to the Texas Attorney General for review. Seeking assistance through my council representative's office has not yet yielded the answers or records I need.

I am not claiming that the records will necessarily establish wrongdoing. I need to review them to determine whether the construction and the city's handling of it comply with applicable requirements. In the meantime, construction continues, and I'm concerned about protecting my property and meeting any applicable deadlines.

If you have retained an attorney for a similar matter. I would appreciate the attorney's name, the general type of issue they handled, and your experience with their responsiveness and fees. Referrals to reputable organizations that can help identify appropriate counsel are also welcome. I'm keeping identifying details and supporting documents private.

Thank you for any constructive guidance.

I’m looking for someone in the DFW area - ideally north DFW - Richardson, Plano, etc., but I will travel anyehere for a great artist. Id like to do a floral tattoo with my dog’s name intertwined. May also be adding more to the design or a separate design that is her outline. She crossed the rainbow bridge very unexpectedly and I’d always planned on getting something for her tattooed on me. Hoping this will help the healing process. TIA.

We are staying at the Grand Hyatt the night before our departure… I always use the DFW VALET parking when we travel. I don’t want to have to move my car in the morning before my flight (from the hotel to the airport valet service ) I called and asked both the hotel and the valet service what I should do… I got two different answers.

Pets/Animals ISO Temporary Cat Foster/Shelter

17 Upvotes

Hello! I am in need of a temporary cat foster home or shelter for my kitty, Kali starting next Wednesday. She is vaccinated, spayed, fully potty trained, independent, playful, and good around kids and okay with other pets if introduced properly. I need about three months of temporary shelter hopefully less than that. I can help provide food litter, etc. I would love to stay in contact and visit if possible. She is very chill, not a fighter, will run and hide but comes out for treats. I reached out to dallas animal shelter and Dallas Pets Alive Pass program. Waiting to hear back. Lmk if there are other resources I should reach out to. 🫶🏾

I wish I could add pics of her 😺

Relocating & housing Looking for good home builders

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

I just went through a hell of a time with Lennar and won’t be using them at all. What builders/areas do you recommend? Looking for an already built home, move-in ready under 400k. At least 2bd 2ba is needed.

For more context, I work near DFW airport and my mother works in Flower Mound (my roommate). The previous place we were going to get was in Haslet in one of the newly built communities. A 30 minute drive to work is fine with us.

ETA: I already live in the metroplex, just moving from an apartment to a “forever home”.

Thanks in advance!!

Relocating & housing Townhome Hunt

0 Upvotes

I hope everyone is enjoying their day,

I was hoping that you all could provide some insight to a few townhomes that might fit my criteria. My budget is $1,400- $1,500 for a two bedroom/two bath town home. It must have AC/in-unit laundry/dishwasher, aesthetically speaking I would prefer tall ceilings but it’s not a requirement. If you guys could help I would really appreciate it.

Hi, I will be starting a new job in the medical district and my husband works in Waxahachie. I'm curious to hear recommendations from real people about apartment complexes that they've had a great experience in in the Oak Lawn/ Medical District/Lovefield/even Uptown areas. I see such mixed reviews of so many apartments. We are pretty open as far as amenities and cost but would prefer to avoid any dark underground parking garages and prefer surface lots if possible. Open to any and all suggestions!

Food & Drink Cocktail Lounges?

I’m flying into Dallas for a weekend and am looking for a cute cocktail lounge / bar that takes reservations and plays decent music. I know a lot of these places do rnb on specific nights , but I’m looking for a Friday night vibe that I can also have a table to sit at. It doesn’t have to be full rnb just not like constant house or overly uppity vibes? Let me know if this exists 😂
