Tori's recommendation: The DMA is free to the public and a staple for anyone interested in exploring the Dallas Arts District. Photo: Jordan and Tori at a special DMA exhibit in January 2023.
Jordan's recommendation: There are two Haywire locations -- one in Plano and one in the Uptown area. I highly recommend ordering steak frites and the Texas-sized signature whiskey cocktail, the Haywire. Photo: Celebrating Jordan's 30th birthday at Haywire - Plano.
Tori and Jordan's Recommendation: This is our favorite place in Dallas. White Rock Lake offers an experience away from the city (while still within the city) and is connected to the Dallas Arboretum. Photo: Engagement photos on White Rock Lake.
Tori/Jordan's recommendation: Klyde Warren Park is walkable from the venue and free for visitors to explore. It's full of food trucks and activities in the summer!
Tori's recommendation: With beautiful gardens, the Nasher Sculpture Center is a lovely way to spend an afternoon.
Jordan's Recommendation: A great restaurant and an excuse to explore the Deep Ellum area!
Tori's recommendation: With several locations around Dallas, there are plenty of opportunities to visit Foxtrot. The location on Hillcrest offers a great opportunity to shopping.
Tori's Recommendation: The very first restaurant I visited when I moved to Dallas, so this is one of my favorite recommendations! Saint Ann has an excellent patio and live music on the weekends in Spring.
Jordan's Recommendation: Legacy Hall and Legacy West are right outside of the Dallas area, but offer a fun opportunity for shopping and eating. The food hall is packed with great options and has something for everyone.
