TRAVEL
We chose to get married in Dallas because we met here and have enjoyed calling this city our new home. We are so appreciative of the many friends and family who are taking the time and spending the money to travel to Dallas for our wedding weekend!
Dallas has two airports. Dallas Love Field (DAL - Love Field) is a short 15 minutes to the Ritz-Carlton/Fairmount hotels and services Southwest, Alaska and Delta airlines. Dallas-Fort Worth International (DFW) is a 25-30 minute drive to the Ritz-Carlton/Fairmount hotels and services most major airlines except Southwest.
We hope you enjoy your time in Dallas and take full advantage of the city we call home. Below is a list of some of our favorite restaurants, bars and things to do around town.
EAT/DRINK
- The Rustic (Restaurant & Bar that usually plays live music Friday nights and Saturday afternoons)
- Mi Cocina (Great Tex-Mex located in Highland Park Village. We definitely recommend ordering a Mambo Taxi. While there, head upstairs to Monkey Bar for before or after dinner drinks.)
- Lower Greenville (There are several bars and restaurants if you walk up and down Greenville Avenue. Julie and Chas love HG supply or Leela's Wine Bar)
- Bob's Steak & Chophouse (Chas' favorite steak in Dallas)
- Pecan Lodge (If you are looking for a BBQ fix while in Texas!)
- Javier's (Traditional Mexico City cuisine with a great cigar bar if you are up for it)
- Nick & Sam's (Trendy, upscale steakhouse)
- Katy Trail Ice House (While mostly outdoors, it is a great spot if we happen to get a beautiful day in January.)
WORKOUT
If you want to get a workout in while here, the Katy Trail and White Rock Lake are great places for a jog/walk. Julie also teaches spin classes at Fit Social Club. While she plans to take off her wedding weekend, the other instructors have great Friday evening/Saturday morning group classes for spin and weight training. Visit www.fit-socialclub.com to sign up!
