Revamped ’20s industrial building on the shores of White Rock Lake. Book the venue and proceeds benefit the nearby Boathouse.
Fifty stories up, high above the downtown office buildings, sits Five Sixty by Wolfgang Puck, the famed chef’s first Dallas restaurant. As if the floor-to-ceiling windows and rotating, 360-degree view weren’t drama enough, the food is equally breathtaking. Start with pork belly dumplings; move on to seafood curry or crispy quail. We like fresh-from-the-oven cookies for dessert.

Boutique hotel tucked on a small hillside in Oak Cliff. Killer downtown Dallas views and fun, poolside activities (concerts, movies) make the place. Regulars visit for the champagne-infused Belmontini and impromptu game nights in the sunken lobby.
