I'm leaving next Tuesday on my 5 day excursion to Dallas. My friend
mentioned a place he remembers from a couple of years ago. He thinks of as
a "strip" of beautiful old Victorian homes which have been turned into
restaurants. Anyone know what the real name of this area is and where it's
located?

Any other suggestions for good eats? We're probably not so much into the
Texas-Mexican thing. We're staying in the North Addison area, at least to
start with. Already know about the disappointing 'chains' like Applebee's,
etc. and aren't interested in them unless we just want a quick burger or
something.

Any info is appreciated.

I guess you didn't look much at that Frommer's link I posted
in the channel. ;P Guidebooks are a traveler's friend... There are
a couple mentions I found on their website (free information, BTW)
that sounded like possibilities:

http://www.frommers.com/destinations...193025074.html

"Uptown & Oak Lawn--Located northeast of downtown and promoted as
"Uptown," McKinney Avenue and Knox-Henderson are chic restaurant rows and
shopping meccas, one of the in places to live. McKinney Avenue, once the site
of elegant old homes, is now the center of the Dallas art gallery scene,
while Knox-Henderson is split right down the middle between trendy
restaurants and upscale furnishings stores."



http://tinyurl.com/273xz

"Swiss Avenue Historic District

Toward the turn of the 20th century, the Dallas elite began to abandon
the area that now comprises the Arts District and move east (near the
modestly funky Lakewood neighborhood). Sprawling, grand homes from the early
1900s -- English Tudor, Georgian, Spanish, you name it -- line a broad
avenue, about 4 blocks of which are listed in the National Register of
Historic Places. The Wilson Blocks (2800 and 2900), named for Frederick Wilson,
who built a number of the homes there, are especially attractive. Around
the holidays, Swiss Avenue is a favorite for Christmas lights cruisers. A
drive-by can be done in 15 minutes; allow a half-hour if you want to
stroll."


I also found this website where you can find Dallas neighborhoods and
search for a particular architectural style:

http://www.preservationdallas.org/pd/intown/style.htm

This URL mentions the Wilson Block, which might be of interest, too:

http://www.preservationdallas.org/pd...lson_block.htm


Your friend's description is a bit vague, most large cities have
_some_ area where historical refurbishing has been done and Dallas is
a big city. But at least you've got some possible leads.

If you venture south to the Oaklawn area you might try Star Canyon for
the bone-in ribeye steak.

If you're looking for something really upscale, The Mansion on Turtle Creek is
also in the Oaklawn area.

Or Bobs

If you're looking for seafood, Remington's is good and mid-price range - on

Jill,

You need to get out of Addison to eat. I'm serious. The traffic is
hellacious. Oak Lawn is a good destination, as are lower Greenville
Avenue, Knox-Henderson, or McKinney Avenue. Hell, you can even try our
old stomping ground of Oak Cliff.

A few specifics:

Gloria's--Original location on Davis Ave in Oak Cliff (in a converted
gas station) or the yupscale one on Lemmon Ave in Oak Lawn. Salvadoran
(NOT Tex-Mex) food to die for.

La Calle Doce--On 12th St. (of course) in Oak Cliff. Excellent Mexican
seafood. SO used to love the "wake the dead" cocktail.

La Madeleine--It is a chain, but has excellent baked goods, SOUPS, and
salads.

Fogo de Chao--A friend of mine who flies his own plane to Addison for
business often recommended this place. Serious Argentine-style MEAT.
One Addison option.

Uncle Tai's--Another Addison option, inside the Galleria. This was my
all-time favorite Chinese restaurant for a while, but I think the
quality has diminished a bit over the years.

And you're just dying to know, aren't you? LOL

At any rate, if when I return I choose to post about good meals at good
restaurants or bad meals at bad restaurants, it is my perogative. Seems
like folks like you, and Barb and many others do the same all the time.

Oh PULLEEEZE! NEWSFLASH!!!!
Most people's worlds, including mine, do not revolve around you and your
pathetic life in front of the computer screen.
But it's nice to see that you'll actually be interacting with someone in

Hello? That's what this newsgroup is for.
Don't tell me you're bitching about people posting ON topic!!!

You are a piece of work, Jill. Really.

Anyway, do have a safe trip. (Seriously. I may not like you very much but I
certainly don't wish you any harm).

Was I bitching? No, I was responding to the squirtz need to criticize my
posting about restaurants.

Thank you. It will be a very nice trip. Persia will be seriously upset
with me for boarding her, but there is nothing else I can do.

Sheryl, why is it that I don't think that you don't take your religion very
seriously...hmmmm...???

Just so you know, being a good Jew is a *very* serious deal. I get the
impression that you are one of these "buffet Jews", e.g. you pick and choose
from all the fun things that Judaism entails such as listening to Molly
Picon records, meeting the gang at Sammy's Roumanian, and watching _Marjorie
Morningstar_. But when it comes down to the "brass tacks" of being
observant IMNSHO you fall kinda short....

IOW you are kinda louche when it comes down to doing the hard spiritual work
of adhering to a belief system. And that includes in the realm of kindness
and forgiving....

It would behoove you to reconsider things and consult a Rabbi...a wise man
such as Him would be I'm sure delighted to give you some spiritual tips and
hints and such....

Your dialogue might go something like this:

Sheryl: "Rabbi, how can I better honour my religious heritage?"

Rabbi: "Sheryl, my daughter, the first thing you should do is put the
kibbosh on pork chops and cheeze borgers....and then you should strive to
not be a tumultulous and gabbing woman. Modesty is the watchword - so cover
your head and be humble...seek ye fulfillment not in strife but in calm...."

I think that if you had some more rigorous religious structure in your life,
you would be *quite* a bit happier...the discipline most likely would do you
good, dear :-)

Try it you might like it...!!!

I wish you all good things in your quest for happiness :-)

Thank you for the recommendations. I can only say, we have a PF Chang's
here in town and am less than impressed with it. The food sucked and so did
the service. Also have a Ruth's Chris and ditto. May give the other places
a shot; seafood is of special interest Thanks!
