October 1, 20187 yr I just took a new job and cover the entire state. I grew up in Houston and live in Austin. I know nothing about Dallas besides The Cotton Bowl. Ill be there about once a month for a few nights. Looking for the best part of town to stay. Places to eat/ watch a game. Mid 30s not looking for a party scene but some places that have a weekday crowd and good food. I am a Marriott guy and will have my truck every time I’m there.
October 1, 20187 yr Hmmm. Do you have to go to an office or visit clients? If so, where is that, primarily? And by Marriott do you mean like Residence Inn or more the full-on hotel type?
October 1, 20187 yr Author Full service. Clients are all over the city. I’ll be working out of the hotel but we have distribution all over the city. Edited October 1, 20187 yr by LebongJames
October 1, 20187 yr I suppose the grown-up place to kind of wander around for better-than-chain restaurants and bars might be Knox-Henderson. Greenville still has some classic spots, but you may have to wade through idiots and 60K millionaires.. Same with Uptown, but a classier scale. Bishop Arts in Oak Cliff is another grown-up, kind of artsy-fartsy, slightly Austin-y area. Downtown, is, of course, central, but the one-way streets and traffic make it a PITA. The business district north of Woodall Rogers is getting crowded, too, but retains pretty good access to the tollroad, 35 and Central. Looks like Le Meridien Stoneleigh might be a good choice in that area without being the Ritz Carlton.

October 1, 20187 yr I tend to believe, though, that most of your business is going to be north of 635, so you may find that business dictates that you get outside of the 635 traffic. So Galleria or other, maybe further north options may work better. There's good restaurants to be found all over. Cool bars, less so. Farther North Dallas is like northern Houston, very suburban, not a ton to do.

But the establishments on Greenville tend to be holes-in-the-wall, those in Uptown, "classier" or more modern, if not actually any better.

October 1, 20187 yr Shops at Legacy / Legacy West growing. There is a Marriott and new Renaissance there, and you can get around easily via Tollway / Bush / 121.

October 4, 20187 yr I would say galleria area is probably a good spot. Close to alot without being in the middle of it.
October 4, 20187 yr Depending on where your meetings are i’d stay in uptown. Saves you 30 minutes each way from Austin versus staying up in north Plano.
October 5, 20187 yr When you say "DFW," I assume you're talking about the airport. Because that's what "DFW" means. If you're talking about the urban area, then it's just "Dallas."

Go to the clubs and bars around shops at Legacy if you wanna find a sugar momma. Buddy of mine did and he's living large at the moment.
October 10, 20187 yr Depending your scene, I would recommend Deep Ellum, but not on a Friday or Saturday night. Reno's Chop Shop, Wits End, places like that are my stomping grounds. Mainly on Sundays or during the week. The parking in Deep Ellum on Saturday nights is horse shit.
