If you’re staying in DFW this week and looking for things to do, the region offers some amazing hidden gems! In fact, add four of our clients to your list of local attractions… Deep Ellum Not only is it one of the best entertainment and night life districts in the city, but we bet you didn’t know the neighborhood is more than 150 years old. From rooftop restaurants and bars to shopping and the incredible live music scene it’s known for, it has something for everybody. Stop by the new Deep Ellum Community Center for a walking history tour and see artifacts and photos from its past. Then stay for brunch, lunch or dinner! Visit deepellum-foundation.com/deepellumcommunitycenter for more info. Bush Center Nestled on the campus of SMU is the George W. Bush Presidential Center, which was recently ranked as the 12th most popular U.S. landmark to visit on Presidents’ Day. The museum’s current special exhibit “Freedom Matters” includes rare founding documents like original versions of the Magna Carta and Constitution. In the permanent exhibit, you can also see an exact replica to scale of the Oval Office as it was when President George W. Bush was in office. While you’re there, take a stroll through the gift shop and have lunch at the popular Cafe 43. Visit bushcenter.org to plan your visit. Trinity Metro If you are heading out of town and airport traffic and expensive parking lots are raining on your travel plans, we recommend taking the Trinity Metro TEXRail. For $5 per day, you can park at one of five stations and take a quick TEXRail ride to the airport—or to lots of places throughout the Fort Worth area! Parking spots must be reserved in advance with the ACE Parking app. (You can save 50% on your one-way TEXRail ride to DFW by using LTP50A promo code in the GoPass app.) Visit ridetrinitymetro.org/texrail-ltp for more info. Las Colinas Vitamin D – Check! Go stand up paddle boarding or rent peddle boats on the Mandalay Canal. And/or buy a day pass on Resort Pass to enjoy lunch at the Omni Las Colinas pool while sipping cocktails or mocktails. Perfect escape! Happy Spring Break, friends!!
