Drive Around Dallas for Fun

The first time I visited Dallas, Texas, I told myself I wouldn’t come to visit again unless I visited other cities. We came to the convention center for volleyball tournaments and all the buildings surrounding the area were gray and closed early. We had to order pizza before 6:00PM to be able to have some dinner. Mind you, the tournaments usually ended at 8:00PM or 9:00PM… so our luck was minimal.

Boy, did I judge HARD. I visited Dallas for a seminar a couple of weeks ago and it changed my whole perspective on the city! As my friend picked me up, I noticed the buildings were all a nice red brick, there were plenty of plants for shade and that abstract view of flowers… it was all so beautiful and perfectly placed. It felt like we were looking at Dallas during the fall season- so many colors!

We were told Yolk was the place to be for brunch. It was no Yolk 😉 that the recommended place was great before we met up with the rest of the group. I had the nutty monkey cakes which were sweet peanut butter-layered pancakes with banana slices and chocolate chips. Have you gotten hungry yet? It gets better! My friend had the chicken n’ waffles, that had crispy fried boneless chicken breast, sausage gravy, sunny side up egg and warm syrup on waffles.

Can you tell I love food yet? Ready for some more?

We went to Nodding Donkey and I loved the vibe. It was the country style I needed before leaving Texas, because who goes to Texas without doing or eating something country related?

Penne Pomodoro was also pretty good. It was an Italian style location and the pasta was amazing! My friend said it was the hang out spot for students on a casual day. I asked for the gnocchi with Alfredo sauce and parmesan cheese, which added flavor. Can you tell I love cheese?

It’s not all about food. The Southern Methodist University campus is large and nice. I was excited to drive around and explore a bit since I had never visited a campus in Dallas before. Thanks to the friend we were staying with and her mom, we were able to get some insights on the campus. They absolutely love the atmosphere, the people and all the opportunities it has given them.

I absolutely looove food and exploring new places, especially those I underestimated! Have you ever thought of a place you didn’t want to return to but did anyways and loved it? I’d love to hear about it!
