Union is our favorite coffee shop in Dallas. In addition to amazing coffee, they have a great outdoor patio and lawn for stellar seating in the pandemic (pictures were pre-pandemic). They brew Onyx coffee which is easily some of the best in the country and host periodic events.

Sometimes called 'the gayborhood,' Oak Lawn and its Cedar Springs strip have been a long-time sanctuary and party place for Dallasites on the LGBTQ+ spectrum. There's never a dull night at Roundup Saloon or JR's and the pizza at Italia Express is a great way to end your night.

If you aren't from Texas then you need to eat BBQ while you are here. Lockhart delivers some of Dallas' absolute best. We recommend the brisket (because this is Texas, after all) and whatever they have as the special of the day.
